The Audeze Maxwell 2 is the latest gaming headset from Californian audio manufacturer Audeze (pronounced Awd-Ee-Zee: a rough portmanteau of “audio” and “odyssey”), a brand famed for its high-end open-back audiophile headphones.
Succeeding the original Audeze Maxwell — a headset I’ve also reviewed and been using for around 18 months as I write this — the new model packs the same enormous 90mm planar magnetic drivers. There are a few modest updates, though, including Audeze’s SLAM driver modulators and microphone “AI” noise reduction.
