Audeze has a solid track record for taking its high-end audiophile headphones and turning them into some of the best gaming headsets on the market. That was certainly the case with the previous Penrose model, a 2021 release that blew us away back in the day. Now the Audeze Maxwell is here to pick up the mantle. The Maxwell largely offers the same proposition as the Penrose, a high-end headset at $299.99 / £319 (for the PlayStation variant we've tested) with a wide soundscape and excellent detailing. However, there's plenty more grunt under the hood here, combined with a boosted battery life, extra controls, and a far more sophisticated build.
