Audeze just launched the Maxwell Wasabi Edition, a jazzed up new version of its impressive planar gaming headset.
Team green gets an exclusive taste of the Audeze arsenal today with the news that the limited edition Maxwell Wasabi headset is coming to shelves. The latest announcement brings a new twist on a premium planar headset range to eardrums, at an RRP of around $329.00 USD. Pre orders haven’t started yet so there’s still time to consider your options and take a look at what the new headset launch includes.
Highlights and Bass Notes
Alongside the established ok of the Maxwell headphones, this version adds an iridescent green/yellow Wasabi finish, with electroplated ear cups and headband. The 90mm planar magnetic drivers build on the core feature of the Audeze brand and bring incredible response to give you fantastic situational awareness in everything from CoD to Forza. The ultra-low latency wireless offers 3X the range of traditional 2.4GHz connections, so you definitely hear the raid lead after you don’t mind the head and head off to get a drink, and the 80 hour battery life should outlast even the longest dungeon run. There’s also Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC support, FILTER™ A.I. noise-reducing microphone tech, a bundled Dolby Atmos licence, and a heritage of great sound.
Why Get These?
If you’ve not had a chance to try out planar headphones as your daily driver and traditionally use the more dynamic type, then this is the perfect opportunity to grab a set that might change the game for your ears. Most headphones that you’ll grab use dynamic drivers, connecting a voice coil attached to a diaphragm that moves back and forth within a magnetic field to create sound. In contrast, planar magnetic drivers have a more evenly distributed magnetic field, usually a thin circuit of magnets placed across the entire diaphragm, resulting in more precise and accurate sound reproduction with lower distortion.
If you fancy a little color and missed out on the Ultraviolet edition of these, the Audeze Maxwell Wasabi Edition Wireless Gaming Headset will be available for order in limited quantities starting October 22, 2024 for $329.00 USD. For more information, visit Audeze.com.
