The voicing focuses on clarity and detail without losing weight, so directional information like footsteps and environmental effects are easy to pick out while music retains texture and scale. Active noise cancellation helps control ambient sound when you’re gaming in shared spaces or using Maxwell 2 ANC as a general‑purpose headphone on commutes and travel, making it more flexible than typical open‑back or non‑ANC gaming designs.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/audeze-maxwell-2\/\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7YL6tmKMVJ0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC is coming soon! - Hands-on first impressions\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" class=\"inline-flex max-w-full min-w-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7YL6tmKMVJ0\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.rtings.com\/headphones\/reviews\/audeze\/maxwell-2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eConnectivity covers low‑latency 2.4 GHz wireless (via USB dongle), Bluetooth and wired USB and analogue inputs, so Maxwell 2 ANC can move between consoles, PCs, laptops and mobile devices without friction. Support for modern Bluetooth codecs and a new companion app allows you to fine‑tune EQ and sound profiles for different games and music, and firmware‑level updates keep features current. Battery life is rated at up to around 80 hours depending on mode, with fast charging designed to keep the headset ready for long sessions. A detachable boom mic with AI‑driven noise reduction offers clear voice transmission, and the on‑ear controls are reworked for more positive feedback during play.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.rtings.com\/headphones\/reviews\/audeze\/maxwell-2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe physical design remains substantial, with large round earcups, a reinforced steel headband and a wider ventilated strap aimed at improving comfort over longer sessions. Earpads have been revised to suit a broader range of listeners, and magnetic side plates allow cosmetic customisation down the line. For Hi‑Fi Centre customers who want a headset that behaves more like a hi‑fi planar headphone but still offers the features expected of serious gaming gear—wireless flexibility, long battery life, ANC and a strong microphone—Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC delivers that combination in one focused product.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.rtings.com\/headphones\/reviews\/audeze\/maxwell-2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex items-center justify-between\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"-ml-sm gap-xs flex flex-shrink-0 items-center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gap-x-xs flex flex-shrink-0 items-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"radix-_r_1q1_\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest bg-base flex items-center justify-between\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full items-center justify-between mb-md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Audeze","offers":[{"title":"Playstation","offer_id":45782106898485,"sku":"Maxwell 2 ANC-Playstation","price":599.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xbox","offer_id":45782106931253,"sku":"Maxwell 2 ANC-Xbox","price":629.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/MaxwellANC.jpg?v=1784312526","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/products\/audeze-maxwell-2-anc-wireless-gaming-headphones","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
