{"product_id":"audeze-maxwell-2-anc","title":"Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC","description":"\u003ch1\u003eWireless gaming headset with planar magnetic drivers and active noise cancellation\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maxwell 2 ANC carries over Audeze's 90 mm planar magnetic architecture and pairs it with adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation of up to 35 dB. The goal is to keep the definition and dynamics of an audiophile headphone in a noisy environment, without sacrificing in-game latency. Two versions are available: a PlayStation version and an Xbox version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e90 mm planar acoustics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ear is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003e90 mm planar magnetic driver\u003c\/strong\u003e using a Uniforce diaphragm, driven by a Fluxor N50 neodymium magnet array. Audeze's in-house Fazor (phase management) and SLAM (acoustic management) technologies keep driver behaviour in check to limit distortion at high levels: THD stays below 0.1% at 100 dB, with a frequency response of 10 Hz to 50 kHz and over 115 dB maximum SPL. The planar bass reaches low without encroaching on the midrange, which remains decisive both for in-game localisation and for music listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from \u003cstrong\u003edual dedicated 1.4 W balanced amplifiers\u003c\/strong\u003e. The headset supports Dolby Atmos and Tempest 3D spatial audio, with integrated self-calibrating head tracking that requires no external camera. It works with Embody Immerse Gaming Hive on PC and with the Dolby Atmos Renderer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdaptive hybrid active noise cancellation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eactive noise cancellation\u003c\/strong\u003e is adaptive hybrid: it combines feedforward and feedback microphones to cut up to \u003cstrong\u003e35 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e of ambient noise, with a Transparency mode to stay aware of your surroundings. An important point for critical listening: the headset's frequency response stays identical whether ANC is on or off. The tonal balance does not change with the mode in use, unlike most noise-cancelling headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConnectivity and compatibility: PlayStation or Xbox version\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maxwell 2 ANC connects \u003cstrong\u003ewirelessly via its USB-C dongle\u003c\/strong\u003e with ultra-low latency, up to 24-bit\/96 kHz, over \u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.3\u003c\/strong\u003e (Auracast, LE Audio, LC3, LC3plus, LDAC, AAC, SBC, multipoint), over wired digital USB-C with dual audio endpoints and game\/chat mix, or over analogue via an active 3.5 mm TRRS jack. On PC and Mac everything is available: wireless, USB-C, analogue jack, Dolby Atmos, game\/chat mix and the Audeze app. Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android are supported over wireless, Bluetooth, USB-C and analogue jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between the two variants concerns consoles. The \u003cstrong\u003ePlayStation version\u003c\/strong\u003e is the one to choose for a \u003cstrong\u003ePS5\u003c\/strong\u003e: ultra-low latency wireless, USB-C, 3.5 mm jack and Tempest 3D. The \u003cstrong\u003eXbox version\u003c\/strong\u003e covers \u003cstrong\u003eXbox Series\u003c\/strong\u003e consoles with ultra-low latency wireless, 3.5 mm jack, Dolby Atmos and game\/chat mix. Both versions work with the Dolby Access app for Atmos on Windows, but only the Xbox version includes a \u003cstrong\u003efree Dolby Atmos licence\u003c\/strong\u003e for Windows and Xbox. The rest of the compatibility (PC, Mac, Switch, mobile devices) is identical on both models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMicrophone, comfort and battery life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headset ships with a \u003cstrong\u003edetachable hypercardioid boom microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e and its pop filter. Processing combines beamforming, physical noise reduction and AI processing (FILTER AI Noise Removal) to separate your voice from keyboard and room noise. An internal microphone takes over for chat when the boom is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1800 mAh lithium-polymer battery delivers \u003cstrong\u003e40 hours of playback with ANC off and 35 hours with ANC on\u003c\/strong\u003e. USB-C fast charging (5 V, 1.8 A max) restores 25% in 20 minutes, with a full charge in 2 hours. For wearability, the wide ventilated headband and memory foam earpads spread the headset's 560 g, in a closed-back circumaural design. Interchangeable magnetic ReSkin plates are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: closed-back circumaural wireless gaming headset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 mm planar magnetic, Uniforce diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fluxor magnet array, N50 neodymium magnets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic technologies\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fazor (phase management), SLAM (acoustic management)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 Hz \u0026ndash; 50 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u0026gt; 115 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u0026lt; 0.1% at 100 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplification\u003c\/strong\u003e: dual dedicated balanced amplifiers, 1.4 W per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpatial audio\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dolby Atmos \/ Tempest 3D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead tracking\u003c\/strong\u003e: integrated and self-calibrating, no external camera; works with Embody Immerse Gaming Hive (PC) and Dolby Atmos Renderer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive noise cancellation\u003c\/strong\u003e: adaptive hybrid (feedforward + feedback microphones), up to 35 dB, Transparency mode, identical frequency response with ANC on or off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoom microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e: detachable, hypercardioid, pop filter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone processing\u003c\/strong\u003e: beamforming, physical and AI noise reduction (FILTER AI Noise Removal), internal microphone for chat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWireless\u003c\/strong\u003e: ultra-low latency USB-C dongle, up to 24-bit\/96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.3, Auracast, LE Audio, LC3, LC3plus, LDAC, AAC, SBC, multipoint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWired digital\u003c\/strong\u003e: USB-C, dual audio endpoints, game\/chat mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWired analogue\u003c\/strong\u003e: active 3.5 mm TRRS jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePC \/ Mac compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: ultra-low latency wireless, USB-C, 3.5 mm jack, Dolby Atmos, game\/chat mix, Audeze app\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXbox compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: ultra-low latency wireless, 3.5 mm jack, Dolby Atmos, game\/chat mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayStation compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: ultra-low latency wireless, USB-C, 3.5 mm jack, Tempest 3D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNintendo Switch compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: wireless, Bluetooth, USB-C, 3.5 mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eiOS \/ Android compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: wireless, Bluetooth, USB-C, 3.5 mm jack, Audeze app\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifference between versions\u003c\/strong\u003e: both versions are compatible with the Dolby Access app for Atmos on Windows, but only the Xbox version includes a free Dolby Atmos licence for Windows and Xbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1800 mAh lithium-polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery life\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 h with ANC off, 35 h with ANC on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharging\u003c\/strong\u003e: USB-C 5 V \/ 1.8 A max, 25% in 20 min, full charge in 2 h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort\u003c\/strong\u003e: wide ventilated headband, memory foam earpads, interchangeable magnetic ReSkin plates (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maxwell 2 ANC headset, detachable boom microphone with pop filter, USB-C wireless dongle, USB-C to USB-C cable (1.5 m), USB-C to USB-A adapter cable (0.3 m), 3.5 mm TRRS analogue cable (1.2 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Audeze","offers":[{"title":"PlayStation","offer_id":54696191394115,"sku":null,"price":499.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xbox","offer_id":54696191426883,"sku":null,"price":519.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5615\/5715\/files\/1_e1e3a6ad-8e93-4896-8167-c2f3944c4ff6.png?v=1785651931","url":"https:\/\/coolkidsaudio.com\/en\/products\/audeze-maxwell-2-anc","provider":"Cool Kids Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
