Description

The Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC for PlayStation combines immersive planar magnetic sound with advanced active noise cancellation, helping you stay focused on the action without losing the detail and balance Audeze is known for. Its hybrid ANC system reduces surrounding noise while maintaining a consistent sound signature when noise cancellation is switched on or off. Transparency mode provides an easy way to hear your surroundings when needed, while PlayStation 5 support includes low-latency wireless audio and compatibility with Tempest 3D Audio.

Large 90mm planar magnetic drivers deliver precise positioning, clear dialogue, and deep, controlled bass across competitive games, cinematic adventures, music, and movies. FILTER AI noise removal works with the detachable boom microphone and internal microphone to keep voice chat clear, while the comfortable headband and spacious ear cushions are suited to longer sessions.

The included wireless dongle connects to PlayStation 5 through USB-C or USB-A with the supplied adapter, and additional Bluetooth, USB, and 3.5mm options make it easy to use the headset with computers, mobile devices, Nintendo Switch, and other compatible systems. Onboard EQ presets, app-based customization, magnetic ear pads, and swappable ear cup covers provide added flexibility for sound, fit, and appearance.
