Audeze Maxwell 2
The Audeze Maxwell 2 are slightly better gaming headphones than the first-generation Audeze Maxwell, with a small caveat. The second generation have a noticeably better mic that does a superb job separating your voice from any noise around you. The on-ear controls also provide slightly better feedback in use. That said, other than mic performance, there's little to choose between them. The one caveat is that the second generation do offer less of the low-bass rumble that keeps explosions feeling immersive. It's not very noticeable most of the time, but if you're addicted to sub-bass, it's worth knowing.
