Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC Wireless Gaming Headset

Professional-Grade Wireless Gaming Audio

The Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC is a premium wireless gaming headset that combines audiophile-grade sound with advanced gaming features. Built around Audeze’s latest 90mm planar magnetic drivers, it delivers exceptional detail, powerful low frequencies, and pinpoint positional accuracy for an immersive gaming experience. The addition of active noise cancellation, ultra-low latency wireless technology, and AI-enhanced microphones makes the Maxwell 2 ANC equally at home in competitive gaming, content creation, music, and everyday listening.

Industry-Leading Active Noise Cancellation

Maxwell 2 ANC is Audeze’s first headset to feature advanced active noise cancellation, using aviation-inspired technology to significantly reduce background distractions. The system can suppress up to 35 dB of ambient noise, allowing you to stay focused whether you’re gaming at home, travelling, or working in a busy environment. Transparency Mode lets outside sound back in whenever you need greater awareness of your surroundings.

Unlike many ANC headphones that alter the sound signature when noise cancellation is enabled, Maxwell 2 ANC is engineered to maintain consistent tonal balance and accuracy with ANC either on or off, ensuring the same outstanding listening experience in every situation.

Flagship 90mm Planar Magnetic Drivers

At the heart of the Maxwell 2 ANC are Audeze’s largest gaming drivers yet—90mm planar magnetic transducers featuring the company’s renowned Fluxor™ magnet arrays, Uniforce™ diaphragms, Fazor™ waveguides, and SLAM™ acoustic technology.

The result is exceptionally fast transient response, superb clarity, and remarkably low distortion. Whether you’re tracking enemy footsteps, enjoying cinematic soundtracks, or listening to your favourite music, Maxwell 2 ANC reproduces every detail with outstanding realism while delivering deep, impactful bass that remains clean and controlled.

Precision Gaming Performance

Designed for serious gamers, Maxwell 2 ANC offers highly accurate spatial imaging that makes it easier to pinpoint enemy positions and environmental cues. The headset’s planar magnetic technology provides excellent instrument separation and detail retrieval, helping reveal subtle sounds that conventional gaming headsets often miss.

Support for Dolby Atmos (Xbox/PC) and Tempest 3D Audio (PlayStation) further enhances immersion by creating a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage that brings games to life.

Advanced Head Tracking

Integrated self-calibrating head tracking adds another layer of immersion in supported applications by maintaining accurate spatial positioning as you move your head. Compatible software partners include Embody Immerse Gaming Hive and Dolby Atmos Renderer for supported professional content creation applications, with additional support planned in the future.

Crystal-Clear Voice Communication

Communication is just as important as sound quality, which is why Maxwell 2 ANC includes a detachable hypercardioid boom microphone enhanced by FILTER™ AI noise reduction.

The AI processing intelligently removes unwanted background sounds while preserving the natural character of your voice, making team communication and streaming clearer even in noisy environments. Internal beamforming microphones also provide convenient voice pickup when the boom mic is removed.

Ultra-Low Latency Wireless & Multi-Platform Compatibility

Maxwell 2 ANC is designed to work seamlessly across virtually every modern gaming platform. The included USB-C wireless transmitter delivers ultra-low latency, high-resolution wireless audio up to 24-bit/96kHz, while wired USB-C and 3.5mm analog connections provide additional flexibility.

Professional-Grade Amplification

Dedicated dual 1.4-watt balanced amplifiers provide ample power for the planar magnetic drivers while helping optimize overall sound quality and ANC performance. This balanced amplification contributes to the headset’s impressive dynamics, low distortion, and accurate frequency response across the entire audio spectrum.
