My day to day job requires me to look for the biggest discounts on my favorite gaming tech, so I spend a lot of time on the Amazon page for the Audeze Maxwell gaming headset. I’ve always been disappointed. Despite launching at a $329.99 MSRP, this audiophile-level set of cups has always been stuck at $299. But that’s all changed thanks to Prime Day.
Yes, that’s still a pricey piece of kit, but the Maxwell’s premium audio quality beckons anyone with an ear for the details. It’s also cheaper than a lot of other high-end headsets right now. TheSteelSeriesArctis Nova Pro Wireless (thebest gaming headseton the market) is sitting at acool $272, and that’s for the white model, the black version is still $349.99. I would also argue that the Maxwell provides a better overall listening experience for the cash, whereas SteelSeries invests more of its price tag in extra features. That means you could spend a lot more and get a lot less if you’re only interested in those sweet sweet drivers.
