Audeze Maxwell 2 Review: Maxwell 1.5?

The Audeze Maxwell 2 is the latest gaming headset from Audeze, featuring 90mm planar magnetic drivers for exceptional audio quality in both music and gaming. The new version retains the design of its predecessor with some upgrades like a wider head strap, roomier earcups, and improved bass response.

Priced starting at $329, the Maxwell 2 offers excellent audio performance but may not justify the upgrade for existing Maxwell users.
