80-Hour Battery and Magnetic Pads: Audeze Maxwell 2 Gaming Headset Debuts at CES
Audeze has unveiled the Maxwell 2 gaming headset at CES 2026. Featuring 80-hour battery life, 90mm planar drivers, and new magnetic ear pads. Starting at $329.
The king of gaming audio just leveled up. Audeze, the high-end headphone maker now operating under Sony, announced a refreshed version of its flagship at CES 2026. The new Audeze Maxwell 2 gaming headset addresses the biggest pain points of its predecessor while doubling down on its legendary sound quality. According to The Verge, it's not just a spec bump; it's a structural refinement.
Audeze Maxwell 2 Specs: 90mm Drivers and Massive Battery
The standout feature is the new magnetic ear pad system. It's designed for easy replacement and offers a roomier fit, solving the comfort issues some users had with the original Maxwell. Under the hood, it retains the massive 90mm magnetic drivers. These drivers deliver a frequency range of 10Hz to 50kHz, ensuring that everything from the faintest footsteps to earth-shattering explosions is articulated with near-zero distortion.
Battery life remains a beast at 80 hours, meaning you can go through an entire week of heavy gaming without reaching for a cable.
Platform Availability and Pricing
Audeze is launching two versions of the Maxwell 2. The PlayStation version is priced at $329, while the Xbox variant costs $349. Both models offer broad compatibility with Windows, macOS, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. It's clear that despite being owned by Sony, Audeze is maintaining its commitment to the broader gaming community.
