It includes a detachable boom mic, astounding sound quality for both gamers and audiophiles, sturdy build quality, and more, making it one of the best wireless headphones on the market. Be sure to check out the Audeze HQ app to update the firmware (like on the Mobius and Penrose headphones).

Dragon Cable Recommendation: We recommend pairing the Audeze Maxwell Gaming Headphone with our popular Silver Dragon Portable Headphone Cable. This cable will bring out more detail and clarity in your gaming session when it matters the most. The Silver Dragon will provide more resolution, clarity, and detail in your music. It pairs well with bass-heavy headphones, as it will tighten up the lower frequencies and correct a bloated low end. It's also a great choice for analytical listeners, as it emphasizes clarity in the instrumentation and increases the overall soundstage. Compatible with any genre, the Silver Dragon works especially well with classical, jazz, and other music with lots of instrumentation and nuance. If you're a critical listener, there's no substitution for the Silver Dragon. Level up to the Silver Dragon and experience your music like never before.
