When I first started testing the Audeze Maxwell, it was just part of my job — developing aftermarket earpads to make great headphones even better. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that the Maxwell was something special.
I’m used to a full wired setup at my desk — dedicated amplifier, fancy cables, fine-tuning everything just the way I like it. Wired headphones have always sounded more natural to me, without all the digital processing (DSP) that wireless models usually depend on. I expected the Maxwell to be convenient… but I didn’t expect it to sound this good.
From the first listen, the Maxwells won me over. Clean, detailed, powerful — and not artificially boosted the way many wireless headphones are. Before long, the pair I had been testing started to become my everyday driver. Eventually, I decided to buy my own set.
What really made them indispensable was how versatile they are:
- 3D audio made my favorite games sound more immersive than ever.
- Side Tone kept meetings feeling natural, letting me hear myself speak.
- The detachable boom mic let me jump between gaming and conference calls without missing a beat.
- Thanks to the USB wireless dongle, I could roam my entire half-acre property without worrying about dropouts.
- And with multi-day battery life, they kept up no matter how busy things got.
For someone who thought they’d never give up wired headphones at the desk, the Maxwell changed everything.
Then Audeze dropped the limited edition Wasabi Green Maxwell, and I didn’t hesitate — I picked up a second pair. Bright, bold, and unique, they were just too much fun to pass up.
But there was still something missing.
That’s why we decided to design a set of Green Midnight Earpads at Dekoni Audio — the perfect match for the Wasabi Maxwell.
Made from sleek pleather with our medium-density memory foam, they bring together comfort, aesthetics, and Dekoni quality. Installation is easy with the familiar twist-lock system, and the fit is seamless.
Now, with the new green earpads, the Maxwell feels truly complete: style, sound, and comfort all in one.
