- Is the Audeze Maxwell worth it over cheaper gaming headsets?
- If sound quality is your priority, yes. The planar drivers are a step above most wireless gaming headsets, and the battery and mic are strong. If you want the lightest possible fit or active noise cancellation, look elsewhere.
- Does the Maxwell work with all consoles?
- It supports PC, PlayStation and Xbox, but check which version you buy: Audeze sells PlayStation and Xbox-specific variants, and the Xbox version adds a license for Xbox wireless. Bluetooth and USB-C work across devices.
- How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?
- Audeze rates it at up to 80 hours, depending on volume and connection type. A 20-minute charge gets you about 25%, enough for a long session.
- Does it have active noise cancellation?
- No. Isolation is passive only through the earcups, so it blocks some noise but not as much as ANC headsets.
- Can I use it wired?
- Yes. It accepts USB-C audio and includes a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable, so you can use it without wireless.
- What is in the box?
- The headset, a detachable boom microphone, a USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable. A hard case is included with some versions.
