Audeze Maxwell Xbox Wasabi

The Maxwell Xbox Wasabi from Audeze is a limited edition of the famous wireless gaming headset Maxwell, specially designed for Xbox consoles. This exclusive version combines Audeze’s exceptional audio performance with a bold and colorful design, offering gamers a unique sound and visual experience.

A vibrant design that stands out

The Maxwell Xbox Wasabi stands out with its iridescent electroplated finish, shifting between bright green and gold. This new aesthetic brings a touch of freshness and originality to the gaming world while retaining Audeze’s characteristic elegance. The ear cups and headband feature this shimmering coating, creating a chameleon effect that is sure to attract attention.

This limited edition follows in the footsteps of Microsoft’s “Shimmer” campaign, which offers Xbox accessories with a unique and eye-catching design. The Maxwell Xbox Wasabi thus succeeds the previous year’s Ultraviolet edition, confirming Audeze’s commitment to offering products that combine performance and style.

Cutting-edge audio technology for total immersion

At the heart of the Maxwell Xbox Wasabi are Audeze’s famous 90 mm planar magnetic drivers. These high-precision speakers deliver exceptional sound quality, with powerful bass and remarkable clarity across the entire audio spectrum. Audeze’s patented technologies, such as Uniforce voice coils, Fluxor magnets, and Fazor waveguides, help create an immersive and detailed sound experience.

The headset supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz, whether in wireless mode or via USB. This superior audio quality allows gamers to perceive the slightest sonic details, giving them a competitive advantage in multiplayer games and total immersion in virtual worlds.

Advanced wireless connectivity for freedom of movement

The Maxwell Xbox Wasabi incorporates ultra-low-latency wireless technology, offering a range three times greater than that of traditional 2.4 GHz systems. This performance allows gamers to move freely without worrying about losing the connection or experiencing audio lag.

The headset is also equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, compatible with advanced codecs such as LC3plus, LE Audio, and LDAC. This versatility makes it possible to use the Maxwell Xbox Wasabi with a wide range of devices, beyond the Xbox console, to enjoy high-quality sound in all circumstances.

Record-breaking battery life for marathon gaming sessions

One of the Maxwell Xbox Wasabi’s most impressive features is its exceptional battery life. With a battery offering up to 80 hours of continuous use, this headset is designed to accompany gamers through their most intense sessions. The fast-charging function allows a full day of use to be recovered in just 20 minutes of charging, thus ensuring the headset is almost constantly available.

Optimal comfort for long gaming sessions

Audeze has paid particular attention to the Maxwell Xbox Wasabi’s ergonomics to guarantee optimal comfort, even during extended gaming sessions. The new chassis incorporates aluminum elements and a spring steel headband, offering both lightness and durability. The contoured ear pads and replaceable suspension strap ensure balanced weight distribution and excellent passive isolation.

The dual-chamber ear cup design reinforces acoustic isolation, allowing gamers to remain fully focused on their gaming experience without being disturbed by surrounding noise.

Clear communication thanks to FILTER™ technology

To ensure crystal-clear communication during online matches, the Maxwell Xbox Wasabi incorporates Audeze’s FILTER™ noise reduction technology. Using a dedicated artificial intelligence processor, this technology effectively eliminates background noise, ensuring that the player’s voice is always clearly heard by teammates.

The headset is equipped with a detachable boom microphone and an integrated beamforming array, offering flexibility of use while maintaining optimal voice quality.

Advanced audio customization

The Maxwell Xbox Wasabi is compatible with the Audeze HQ app, allowing users to customize their audio experience. The app offers a 10-band equalizer, gaming-dedicated sound modes, and settings for voice chat. This flexibility allows gamers to adapt the sound to their preferences and the specific requirements of each game.

In addition, the headset includes a Dolby Atmos license for Xbox and PC, offering immersive sound spatialization for an even more realistic gaming experience.
