Audeze has officially launched the Maxwell 2 Wireless Gaming Headset at CES 2026, bringing significant ergonomic and feature refinements to its acclaimed line. While retaining the signature 90mm planar magnetic drivers for high-fidelity audio, the Maxwell 2 introduces magnetic earcups for easy swapping, a wider perforated headband for improved cooling, and relocated side controls for better accessibility. Despite these upgrades, the headset sees a weight increase of 70 grams, though it maintains an impressive 80-hour battery life on its 1800 mAh charge.

A major addition is Auracast Bluetooth support, expanding connectivity options alongside existing LC3plus and LDAC codecs. The release also debuts a companion app and customizable skins, signaling a push toward personalization. With a modest price hike of $20-$30, the PlayStation version retails for $329 and the Xbox version for $349, positioning the Maxwell 2 as a premium evolution for serious gamers seeking studio-grade sound.
