If you are keeping score, this is the second limited edition version of the Audeze Maxwell Gaming Headset in less than a month. The paint on the Audeze Maxwell Ultraviolet is barely dry and we now have word of another collaboration.
The Audeze Aydan Special Edition Maxwell Gaming Headset focuses on one of the most popular gamers in the world and whilst that might make some in the audiophile community roll their eyes, gaming headsets are now 40% of Audeze’s business right now.
There is no guarantee that any of these gamers will gravitate to high-end audio loudspeakers and components but Audeze is clearly focused on broadening their base of customers and considering the size of the gaming market — that makes a lot of sense to us.
Ready Player One?
Audeze, the leading premium headphone manufacturer and their brand partner, content creator, Aydan today announce a custom Aydan Edition of their extremely popular Maxwell gaming headset.
Audeze provides Aydan with headsets that give him game-winning sonic advantages. Now fans of Audeze and Aydan can enjoy a custom version of the most advanced wireless gaming headset on the market, battle-tested by Aydan.
The Aydan Edition of the Maxwell will be available in the Playstation version only and is currently available at Aydan.gg.
The customized Aydan Edition Maxwell features his gold and white competition logo, printed on the earcups and micro-printed on the ear cushions along with colorized left / right ear cup indicators.
This logo has a deep meaning for Aydan, based on his early experiences with World of Warcraft, where he played as “Alliance.” The gold and white colors and halo are inspired by the Aydan’s time playing the Paladin class in World of Warcraft.
The Aydan Edition of Maxwell provides fans of Aydan with a unique opportunity to show their support for one of the best Call of Duty: Warzone players on the planet, while also obtaining the sonic advantage that has helped propel Aydan to recent success in the World Series of Warzone, in which Aydan is currently competing for the championship.
