Overview

Wireless planar gaming headset

A wireless gaming headset with planar magnetic drivers, a low-latency dongle, Bluetooth and wired options. It is heavy and has no active noise cancelling.

  • Planar magnetic drivers

    90 mm planar magnetic drivers are paired with SLAM venting, new on this model. Reviewers found separation and positional cues excellent in competitive shooters.

  • 80-hour battery

    Rated for over 80 hours of wireless playback, which reviewers counted among its main strengths. A 20-minute charge restores about a quarter of the battery.

  • Heavy build

    At about 560 g it is 70 g heavier than the original Maxwell. Reviewers found it heavy, and most noticed the weight over long sessions despite the wider, vented strap.

Connections

A USB-C dongle provides low-latency wireless, and Bluetooth supports LDAC and LE Audio. USB-C and 3.5 mm cables give wired options; over USB, game and chat audio are separate.

Microphone

A detachable hypercardioid boom mic with AI noise removal.
