  "account": "Audeze has finally released the Maxwell 2 ANC, a high-end gaming headset that follows up the popular Maxwell 2 and the original Maxwell models. The Maxwell 2 ANC boasts the same 90mm planar magnetic drivers, SLAM plates, and build quality as its predecessors, but adds Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). However, the headset is heavy, uses a suspended headband with limited adjustment, and offers a shorter battery life when ANC is in use. At a price of $429 / £429, the Maxwell 2 ANC is aimed at gamers who prioritize top-tier sound quality for gaming and music.",
  "summary": "The Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC packs noise cancelation and typically stellar Audeze sound, but costs (and weighs) rather a lot.",
