Audeze Unveils Maxwell 2 Gaming Headset at CES

Audeze, a California-based premium audio manufacturer, unveiled its Maxwell 2 wireless gaming headset at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, positioning the device as a significant upgrade to the original Maxwell model that has been a top choice for gamers seeking high-fidelity sound.

The Maxwell 2 incorporates Audeze's patent-pending SLAM technology, which the company describes as enhancing spatial immersion and delivering a more impactful bass response. This pairs with the headset's 90mm planar magnetic drivers, featuring patented Fluxor magnets and Fazor waveguides, to achieve a frequency range of 10Hz to 50kHz. Audeze states that the combination minimizes distortion, allowing users to discern subtle audio cues, such as directional footsteps in competitive shooters, alongside deeper low-end effects for immersive experiences in open-world games. The technology draws from Audeze's earlier products, including the CRBN2 electrostatic headphones and LCD-S20 model, where it has received positive feedback for audio precision.

Comfort improvements address feedback from the original Maxwell, which weighed 490 grams and was noted for its balance during extended use....
