The Audeze Maxwell 2 sets a new gold standard in wireless gaming audio -- planar magnetic sound that excels equally in competitive esports and high-resolution music listening. DEKONI Audio's Midnight replacement earpads are the choice for those who prize comfort above all else during long sessions -- combining a luxurious finish with soft, compliant fit that all but disappears on your head during marathon use.

Comfort that transforms long sessions

Midnight pads are wrapped in smooth, satin-finish eggshell protein leather -- a premium-grade vegan alternative to natural leather, developed using protein derived from eggshells. The material is silky to the touch and far more luxurious than the vinyl or plastic "leatherette" used on most stock pads. Inside, DEKONI's signature memory foam is used in a slightly less dense formulation -- more responsive, with faster rebound and greater give under pressure. The result is a soft, compliant fit that distributes the Maxwell 2's clamp force evenly, keeping even multi-hour sessions comfortable -- particularly for users sensitive to pressure or those who wear glasses.

Balanced, all-around sound signature

Acoustically, Midnight delivers a balanced, controlled presentation that works beautifully across any genre of music and any type of game. The protein leather seals the cups effectively, providing strong passive isolation and a full low-frequency response -- without the heavier bass emphasis that could overpower the midrange. The less dense foam allows the driver to sit slightly closer to the ear, yielding subtly deeper bass while preserving clear, well-resolved midrange -- more even-handed than the Sheepskin version, and ideal for competitive gaming where dialogue intelligibility, environmental cues and positional audio matter most.

Midnight is also a sensible choice from a practical standpoint: the smooth surface cleans easily, the material doesn't absorb odors, and the absence of animal-derived components will appeal to users who prefer vegan products. Combined with the Maxwell 2's onboard DSP and adjustable EQ, Midnight pads form a versatile platform that can be tuned to any content -- from competitive shooters to demanding musical material.

Uncompromising fit and installation

DEKONI Midnight pads for the Audeze Maxwell 2 use the original mounting ring system, so installation takes just a few minutes and requires no tools. The outer dimensions (103 × 103 mm) and inner dimensions (60 × 60 mm) are precision-matched to the Maxwell 2 cups -- no compromise in driver-to-ear alignment, and no impact on the headphone's factory DSP tuning. Sold as a matched pair (left + right).

Compatibility note: these earpads are designed exclusively for the Audeze Maxwell 2 and do not fit the original first-generation Audeze Maxwell.

DEKONI Audio Midnight for Maxwell 2 is the choice for the pragmatic enthusiast -- maximum comfort, elegant finish, versatile sound signature and vegan-friendly materials in one well-priced package.
