Audeze just gave the Maxwell 2 ANC, but there’s some stuff you need to know before buying

At last! The delayed Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC cometh, following up the fantastic Audeze Maxwell 2 and, before that, the original Audeze Maxwell. I’ve reviewed and extensively used both prior models, and believe me, it’s long been a winning formula.

The Maxwell 2 ANC packs the same 90mm planar magnetic drivers as the Maxwell 2, for super crisp audio (especially up high); the same SLAM plates for improved bass response down low; and, well, the same pretty much everything. Only now there’s ANC.
