Know before you buy
Unlike traditional dynamic drivers, these planar magnetic drivers use a thin, flexible film to produce sound. This results in significantly lower distortion, faster transient response, and a more detailed, studio-grade audio profile that excels at both deep bass and high-frequency clarity.
Yes, the AI noise removal is integrated directly into the headset's hardware, meaning it functions consistently regardless of whether you are connected via USB-C wireless, Bluetooth, or the 3.5mm analog port.
The Maxwell is rated for over 80 hours of playback on a single charge. This is significantly higher than most wireless gaming headsets, allowing you to go weeks of moderate gaming without needing to reach for a charging cable.
The headset offers versatile connectivity, including USB-C wireless, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm analog jack. While you can connect to multiple sources, the specific behavior depends on your device setup, but the variety of ports ensures compatibility with consoles, PCs, and mobile devices.
Yes, the boom microphone is fully detachable. This makes the headset much more portable and comfortable to wear in public or while listening to music without the mic getting in your way.
The Maxwell weighs approximately 1.08 pounds. While it is sturdier than many plastic-heavy headsets, the over-ear design and ventilated build are specifically engineered to distribute weight evenly and keep you comfortable during marathon sessions.
