{"product_id":"audeze-maxwell-2-anc-wireless-headphones","title":"Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC Wireless Headphones","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC brings serious noise cancellation to the planar magnetic gaming headset that set a new standard for wireless sound. Its 90mm drivers deliver the detail, bass extension, and positional accuracy that made the Maxwell platform so widely respected, while a new aviation-grade ANC system cuts through the distractions of shared rooms, travel, tournaments, and busy workspaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in separate PlayStation and Xbox versions, Maxwell 2 ANC is built for high-level gaming, spatial audio production, music, and everyday listening. Ultra-low-latency wireless audio reaches up to 24-bit\/96kHz, an upgraded head-tracking system supports compatible immersive applications, and Audeze’s FILTER AI microphone processing keeps voice communication clear when the environment around you is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e90mm Planar Drivers with Dedicated Balanced Amplification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaxwell 2 ANC uses Audeze’s 90mm planar magnetic drivers, which are substantially larger than the dynamic drivers found in most gaming headsets. Their broad diaphragm surface moves with even force, preserving fine detail and separation through dense soundtracks, rapid effects, dialogue, and music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAudeze’s Fluxor magnet array, Uniforce diaphragm, Fazor phase management, and SLAM acoustic system work together to improve control across the full frequency range. Bass reaches deep and lands with real physical weight, while footsteps, reloads, environmental cues, and voices remain distinct within the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo dedicated 1.4W amplifiers operate in balanced mode, providing the power and headroom needed for both high-output gaming and quieter low-level detail. The result is a presentation with strong dynamics, clean bass, and the spatial precision expected from Audeze’s planar headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUp to 35dB of Active Noise Cancellation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaxwell 2 ANC is Audeze’s first headset with active noise cancellation and the first full-range planar magnetic headset built around an ANC system. Audeze rates it for up to 35dB of background-noise reduction, helping suppress room noise, HVAC systems, travel noise, nearby conversations, and the general distractions of competitive gaming environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe acoustic tuning was developed to remain consistent when ANC is switched on or off. That means bass balance, vocal placement, treble detail, and positional cues do not shift dramatically when changing listening modes. Transparency Mode is also available when you need to hear someone nearby or stay aware of your surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-Calibrating Head Tracking and Spatial Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated head-tracking system adds motion-aware spatial audio without requiring external cameras or tracking hardware. Automatic calibration helps the headset establish and maintain a stable forward position, making setup quicker and improving reliability during longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupported applications include Embody Immerse Gaming Hive for personalized spatial audio across PC games and the Dolby Atmos Renderer for professional immersive-audio production. Maxwell 2 ANC also supports Dolby Atmos and Tempest 3D according to the connected platform and selected headset version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClearer Voice Communication with FILTER AI\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe detachable hypercardioid boom microphone uses both physical noise control and Audeze’s high-bandwidth FILTER AI processing. Background noise can be reduced directly from the headset, helping your voice remain intelligible around keyboards, fans, room noise, and other distractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn internal microphone also supports chat when the boom microphone is removed. This gives Maxwell 2 ANC more flexibility for phone calls, casual voice communication, travel, and everyday listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWireless, Bluetooth, USB, and Analog Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included USB-C dongle provides ultra-low-latency wireless audio for gaming, with high-resolution playback up to 24-bit\/96kHz. USB-C can also be used for wired digital audio, including dual-audio endpoints and game-chat mixing on supported platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 5.3 supports LDAC, AAC, SBC, LC3, and LC3plus, along with Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast, and multipoint connectivity. A 3.5mm TRRS connection is included for analog sources and devices where wireless or USB audio is not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlayStation and Xbox Versions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PlayStation and Xbox versions share the same drivers, active noise cancellation, head tracking, microphone system, wireless performance, comfort design, and core sound quality. The correct version depends primarily on the console you plan to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PlayStation version provides native low-latency wireless support for PlayStation consoles and supports Tempest 3D audio. The Xbox version provides native Xbox wireless compatibility, Xbox game-chat mixing, and includes a Dolby Access license for Dolby Atmos on Xbox and Windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions are compatible with Windows and macOS computers, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS, and Android through the appropriate wireless, Bluetooth, USB-C, or analog connection. Both versions can use Dolby Atmos through the Dolby Access app on Windows, although only the Xbox version includes the license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComfort for Long Gaming Sessions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wide, ventilated suspension strap distributes the headset’s 560g weight across a larger area of the head. Aluminum yokes provide a rigid, durable structure, while the redesigned memory foam earpads offer additional internal room and create the seal needed for effective noise cancellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe earpads attach magnetically for easy removal and replacement. Magnetic exterior side plates can also be swapped for optional Audeze ReSkin designs, giving the headset a customizable appearance without changing the main earcup structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAudeze App Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe redesigned Audeze app is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It provides quick access to headset settings, EQ, microphone processing, ANC, Transparency Mode, and other controls through a cleaner interface designed around everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical earcup controls remain available for volume, game-chat balance, media playback, microphone functions, and frequently used listening settings, allowing most adjustments to be made without leaving the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessional closed-back wireless gaming headset\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in PlayStation and Xbox versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90mm planar magnetic drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniforce diaphragm technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFluxor magnet array with N50 neodymium magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFazor phase-management system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSLAM acoustic management for deeper, more controlled bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual dedicated 1.4W amplifiers operating in balanced mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid active noise cancellation rated for up to 35dB of reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent frequency response with ANC on or off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransparency Mode for environmental awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated head tracking with automatic calibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupport for Embody Immerse Gaming Hive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupport for professional Dolby Atmos Renderer workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDolby Atmos and Tempest 3D spatial audio support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetachable hypercardioid boom microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-bandwidth FILTER AI noise removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal microphone for chat without the boom mic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUltra-low-latency USB-C wireless audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-resolution playback up to 24-bit\/96kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth 5.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLDAC, AAC, SBC, LC3, and LC3plus codec support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth LE Audio and Auracast support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth multipoint connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSB-C digital audio with dual-audio endpoints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.5mm TRRS analog connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide ventilated suspension head strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMagnetically attached memory foam earpads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum yokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaceable magnetic side plates compatible with Audeze ReSkin designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAudeze app support for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSB-C fast charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWindows PC \/ Mac\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUltra-low-latency wireless, USB-C digital audio, 3.5mm analog audio, Dolby Atmos, game-chat mix, and Audeze app support\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eXbox\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNative compatibility with the Xbox version, including ultra-low-latency wireless, 3.5mm analog audio, Dolby Atmos, and game-chat mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePlayStation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNative compatibility with the PlayStation version, including ultra-low-latency wireless, USB-C digital audio, 3.5mm analog audio, and Tempest 3D\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNintendo Switch 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUltra-low-latency wireless, Bluetooth audio, USB-C digital audio, and 3.5mm analog audio\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eiOS\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUltra-low-latency wireless, Bluetooth audio, USB-C digital audio, 3.5mm analog audio, and Audeze app support\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAndroid\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUltra-low-latency wireless, Bluetooth audio, USB-C digital audio, 3.5mm analog audio, and Audeze app support\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eLightning-equipped iOS devices require an MFi-certified Camera Connection Kit adapter for USB audio.
