Aside from the somewhat lush box and, of course, the headset itself, the set also includes an external microphone attachment, a USB-C wireless dongle, a USB-C cable, an adapter for connecting USB-C to USB-A (the more “classic” USB option), and a 3.5mm AUX cable. It’s a lot of accessories that not everyone is going to need, but they all serve a purpose in one context or another.
The wireless dongle was particularly necessary for me since part of this test involved using this headset with a PlayStation 4, a console that doesn’t support Bluetooth audio, but it was really simple to connect and test out. After daisy-chaining it together with the USB-A adapter I just had to plug it into a free USB port on the console, then dive into the System menu and push the Pairing button on the headset to find and connect to it. I would’ve preferred not needing the dongle at all, but that’s Sony’s doing and not the fault of Audeze or the Maxwell headphones.
Outside of dongles, connecting to devices that do support Bluetooth audio was a breeze. As with most similar devices, it only took a few seconds to press the Pairing button and find the headphones in each of their respective menus. As a bonus, unlike the A30s I didn’t have to use a specific app to switch between multiple devices. Though without one I do still have to manually choose the Maxwell headset from a menu when connecting to my Switch.
