Audeze Maxwell Ultraviolet Edition Wireless Gaming Headset

Finally we have the Audeze Macwell Ultraviolet Edition Wireless Gaming Headset which despite my love for minimalist and plain colours, I really like this headset. The shiny colour-shifting “ultraviolet” finish that encompasses the earcups and headband was done through an electroplating process and looks very nice. This headset is designed by Legendary planar magnetic headphone manufacturer Audeze and offers low latency wireless gaming with up to 80 hours of battery life. The headset features massive 90mm planar drivers and supports Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio, Dolby Atmos and AI Noise Filtration.

The Audeze Maxwell Ultraviolet Edition Wireless Headset is available for pre-order with a fairly hefty $329.00 price tag and will launch on August 15th. Visit Audeze.com for more information.
