Wireless Planar Gaming Headphones with Noise Cancellation and Dolby Atmos - for PlayStation
The Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC for PlayStation combines Audeze’s planar magnetic technology with a hybrid adaptive active noise cancellation system, offering a solution designed for competitive gaming, immersive single-player experiences, and high-quality listening. Based on the Maxwell design, this version incorporates an ANC system engineered to reduce ambient noise while preserving the integrity of sound reproduction. Transparency mode also lets you hear what’s happening in your surroundings when needed, while sidetone allows you to monitor your own voice during communications.
At the heart of the Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC are 90 mm planar magnetic drivers, paired with Fluxor™ magnets and Fazor™ waveguides. The system is designed to accurately reproduce both the subtlest details and the most impactful effects found in gaming sessions. The proprietary SLAM™ technology, originally introduced by Audeze on the CRBN2 electrostatic headphones, helps improve spatial accuracy and low-frequency response. The specified frequency response of 10 Hz to 50 kHz covers an exceptionally wide range, a feature useful for both gaming and music listening.
The Maxwell 2 ANC’s hybrid adaptive noise-cancellation system is optimized to reduce external noise interference during gameplay. This allows you to focus more on the details of the soundscape, from ambient effects to cues that help pinpoint the location of opponents and other in-game events.
When you need to stay aware of your surroundings, Transparency Mode lets you blend external sounds into your listening experience. The Sidetone feature, on the other hand, lets you hear your own voice during conversations, giving you greater control during chats, streams, and multiplayer sessions.
The Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC features a self-calibrating head-tracking system, designed to enhance the immersion of spatial audio applications. Support for advanced applications such as Dolby Atmos Renderer and APL VIRTUOSO allows you to take full advantage of three-dimensional soundscapes, enhancing your perception of the position and movement of sound sources.
The removable hypercardioid boom microphone uses the Audeze FILTER™ AI system for noise reduction. The technology is designed to attenuate background noise and keep your voice clear during team chats, streaming, and in-game communications. The updated system offers twice the bandwidth of previous generations, with the goal of achieving clearer and more natural voice reproduction.
For PlayStation gaming, the Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC uses the included ultra-low-latency wireless USB-C dongle. Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, on the other hand, expands compatibility with mobile devices and supports LE Audio and LDAC. You can also use a wired audio connection and Bluetooth simultaneously—a useful solution for managing different audio sources without sacrificing flexibility.
The high-capacity lithium-ion battery offers over 80 hours of continuous wireless use at 80 dBA. Fast charging via USB-C reduces wait times and makes the headphones ideal even for particularly long gaming sessions.
The redesigned headband incorporates ventilation holes to improve breathability during extended use. The magnetically attached ear cushions provide more space for the ears and are designed to promote comfort during competitive sessions, music listening, and long gaming sessions.
