The Audeze Maxwell Ultraviolet edition is the focus of this in-depth first look from ShortCircuit, starting with the unboxing and design impressions. The host introduces Audeze as a high-end planar magnetic headphone maker and explains how planar magnetic drivers differ from traditional dynamic drivers. The ultraviolet colorway is highlighted for its reflective finish and a subtle gradient on the headband, which the host seems to prefer aesthetically while noting potential wear concerns in public use. The package contents are walked through, including a USB-C dongle for wireless use on Xbox and PC, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and a 3.5 mm jack for wired or controller use, plus a detachable boom mic. Practical design choices are called out, such as removable ear cushions, a two-knob interface for game and chat volume, and the mixed functionality of the power button that also serves as a multi-use control. The host emphasizes the versatility of the Maxwell, particularly the option to use four beam-forming mics inside the earcups along with the boom mic, which allows for bus-ready use without the boom being visually intrusive. The build quality, weight around 490 grams, and the reflective plastic housing are noted as well, with caveats about potential scratches but confidence in overall durability. The discussion closes on the overall impression of the form factor and how the Maxwell may appeal to gamers seeking a feature-rich, all-in-one solution, even before deep-dive testing begins.
