Features

Overview: The Audeze Maxwell over-ear wireless gaming headphones are designed to give
you an immersive gaming experience. They are also excellent for listening to
music or movies on your portable devices. You can use the headphones with a wired connection
(via the included 3.5mm cable) or wireless (via 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth). The Maxwell headphones
have 90mm Planar Magnetic Drivers, similar to the ones used in Audeze\’s Mobius flagship gaming headphones. The headphones come with a detachable boom microphone, a USB wireless dongle, a USB-C charging cable (with USB-A adapter), and an
auxiliary audio cable.

Construction: The headphones feature an all-new reinforced chassis with aluminum yokes, a durable steel spring headband, and glass-infused nylon for other structural parts including the ear cups. The earcups are built with dual chambers to isolate the drivers from the electronics for excellent noise suppression. The Maxwell has a more powerful DAC and amplifier section, compared to the Penrose model, for larger dynamic range and lower noise floor. The memory foam ear pads and headband are covered with faux leather for hours of comfortable use.

Dual Wireless Connections: The Maxwell headphones features a Dual Wireless connection. You can connect wirelessly via a lossless, low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless connection using the included USB dongle or via Bluetooth. The headphones do not support 5 GHz wireless connection. The wireless adapter establishes a high-bandwidth, fully lossless, 16-bit/48kHz connection with an extremely low latency, and 3x the range, compared to standard 2.4GHz wireless. The wireless USB dongle has a two-position switch: one direction for Xbox use and the other direction for PC or other sources. Maxwell is compatible with Bluetooth 5.3, which provides excellent range and stability. The Maxwell will automatically use the highest quality Bluetooth codec available, including LDAC and LC3 (if supported by the device). The headphones are compatible with mulitpoint functionality, allowing you to connect them simultaneously between multiple Bluetooth devices.

Compatibility: The Audeze Maxwell gaming headphones are compatible with the following:

Controls: The on-board controls are located on the left ear
cup. On the outside of the ear cup are the Power and Mic Mute buttons. The Power
button is also used for pairing the headphones to your Bluetooth device, as well as music playback (play/pause) and phone call control (answer/end/reject calls). On the
bottom of the ear cup are separate rotary volume controls for the headphones and the
microphone, so you can balance your voice commands with the rest of the
soundtrack. Pressing the microphone volume control allows you to vary the Game/Chat mix. The AI Noise Reduction button lets you toggle Noise Reduction on or off.

Connections: The Audeze Maxwell connections are all on the
left ear cup. A recessed 3.5mm input is provided for the included microphone.
The input\’s collar is shaped to match the mic\’s plug, so that the microphone is
properly aligned with your mouth. There is also a 3.5mm output for the included
Auxiliary audio cable. The USB Type C port is for data and charging the
battery. The headphones include a
5\’ USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

Battery Power: Maxwell is powered by a built-in, 1800mAh Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery. The headphones can be fully charged via USB in approximately 2 hours, using a USB power adapter with a maximum output of 5V and 1.8A. A fully charged battery provides over 80 hours of battery life. A quick 20-minute charge raises the battery level to 25%.

Planar Magnetic Technology: The Maxwell gaming headphones are equipped with 90mm
(3.5") diameter drivers, much larger than its leading competitors. The headphones feature the same Audeze\’s patented technologies (Uniforce voice coils, Fluxor magnets, and Fazor waveguides) found in their high-end headphones. Maxwell delivers powerful bass and ultra detailed sound that brings your gaming to the next level. The drivers deliver an
amazingly fast response with near zero distortion, higher resolution, and
lifelike imaging. The headphones are ultra efficient, with a maximum SPL of over
120dB.

Audeze HQ Application: You can unlock the potential of your Maxwell
headphones with the Audeze HQ application. In the app, you can customize your sound experience with music and gaming presets, and a 10-band EQ to shape the audio to your personal tastes. The app is compatible with Android devices running version 6.0 and up, and for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS 14.0 or later. Desktop versions are also available for PC and Mac (macOS 11.0 or later and a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later).
