Audio46's Opinion

The Audeze Maxwell delivers killer sound resolution and offers a ton of features. You’ll get a whopping 80 hours of battery life along with a super comfortable fit that won’t fatigue the ears or jaw even after many hours of use. More important, these cans deliver virtually zero latency, as well as an incredibly multidimensional soundstage, which is key for a truly immersive gaming experience. While specifically tailored for gaming, it remains versatile and just as suitable for casual music listening; in classic Audeze fashion, the Maxwell presents a powerful and luxurious, yet highly detailed low-end, while the rich highs add a visceral dimension to the gaming experience. So if you’re a gamer, and you want that sumptuous Audeze magic in a budget friendly package, this is probably the headphone model for you.
