Audeze calls FILTER™ and which does a great job of filtering out environmental noise .
The battery life on Maxwell is seriously impressive . Audeze says you can get a little over 80 hours of normal use on a single charge . Maxwell also has one of the most impressive fast charging that I have seen on any headset or headphone . A 20-minute charge will give you battery life all day , which means you can realistically use Maxwell for longer tracking and mixing sessions without having to worry about having to recharge the headphones in the middle of your work .
Maxwell uses wheels instead of actual buttons for most of the controls including the overall volume control wheel to balance your chat or game mix . Physical buttons include a volume control , power button and a mic mute switch .
Maxwell has an available free desktop app with your Mac or PC . There is also an available mobile app which gives you a link to keep the headphone firmware up to date .
Purchasing Maxwell includes a free download to Audeze ’ s head tracking integration for the Dolby Atmos Renderer which you can use with the Dolby Atmos Renderer . Once downloaded , in order for the head tracking to work , you need to have the latest firmware version on your headphones . Maxwell needs to be connected to your computer via USB wired or wireless dongle . Head tracking does not work over Bluetooth or analog . In short , you can easily connect the Maxwell with head tracking to the DOLBY ATMOS Bridge to play directly from Dolby ’ s Renderer or mix through in most DAW software programs including ProTools , Studio One , Logic and others .
Once you set the Atmos Renderer inputs to the Dolby Audio Bridge and then set the outputs to the Dolby Atmos Renderer you will see that the headtracker in the Dolby ATMOS Renderer moves with your head position . There is no additional software needed . If you ever need to re-center the Maxwell because the tracking drifted off a little , you do that with a firm doubletap anywhere located on the headphone .
Sum it up , Maxwell is a great wireless gaming headphone that can also double as a professional level headphone for music production . Maxwell is also great for general listening enjoyment . Not only that , but you are also getting access to Audeze ’ s planar magnetic driver technology in the most affordable headphone Audeze has ever offered as well as rock solid wireless Bluetooth technology and real world , all-day battery life .
