I love seeing gaming headsets from audio companies, because they approach it from the audio side first, not the gaming side. So I know they’re going to sound great. And Audeze’s newest wireless gaming headset, the Maxwell, does sound great. But sounding great is just one aspect of what makes the best gaming headsets, well, the best.
The Maxwell is a large, wireless over-ear gaming headset with a steel and aluminum frame, a detachable boom microphone, and 80+ hours of rated battery life. It features newly-designed 90mm planar magnetic drivers (more on what that means later) and an out-of-the-box sound profile that’s tuned for gaming. And again, it sounds fantastic. Design-wise, it’s a departure from Audeze’s previous wireless gaming headsets, the Penrose and the Mobius, which were smaller, lighter, and mainly made of plastic.
