$59.99 and are compatible with both PlayStation and Xbox variants of the Maxwell 2 The Audeze Maxwell 2 is one of my absolute favorite gaming headsets of recent years. However, it is slightly guilty of a familiar sin shared by many more audiophile headsets in the market: its aesthetic is very plain.

That was, up until now, however. Audeze has announced a new set of
replaceable earcups called the 'ReSkin' line, offering owners the opportunity to take advantage of the "Maxwell 2s user-swappable magnetic earcup covers to give owners the chance to bring flair and personality to their headsets" and the first images the brand has released look seriously cool. This is awesome news on a couple of fronts. First and foremost, while the Maxwell 2 is truly excellent as a gaming headset, it's design is essentially a symphony of black or very dark materials, so ReSkin earcups could be a perfect way to break
that up and make the headset much more unique and original. Latest Videos

Secondly, Audeze's CEO, Sankar Thiagasamudram, has already stated that the brand will be regularly launching new designs and collaborations" so we know that, on top of these six initial designs, more are on the way, so the
options are going to be numerous and expansive hopefully.

In these initial six designs, there's an X-ray style that 'shows' the massive planar magnetic drivers within the Maxwell 2, a slightly creepy but excellent-looking eye design, and, most importantly, a cat-based design too.

very welcome addition.

Audeze says that these will be simple to use, and "can be easily removed with a simple motion thanks to their lightweight magnetic design, making it simple for customers to swap between their favorite designs at any time."

Coming in at $39.99 or $59.99, the ReSkin earcups will be compatible with
both PlayStation and Xbox variants of the headset, and are available from the brand now. The best audiophile headphones and headsets for gaming Our top picks based on hours and hours of testing
