Pairing the Maxwell Dongle (any version)

While the dongle appears similar, Maxwell (first generation), Maxwell 2, Maxwell 2 ANC hardware have differing firmware and are not cross-compatible. You must use the correct dongle for your type of headphones.
 

Before use, ensure that the dongle's side switch is set to the appropriate device. To change

the setting, first physically remove the dongle from the USB port, then adjust the device switch

to the desired position. Reconnect the dongle via USB. Maxwell 2 will automatically reconnect

to the dongle when it is detected.

To pair a new dongle or re-pair an existing one to the headset

  1. Insert the dongle into a source device
  2. Insert a paperclip or similar tool into the small hole on the side of the dongle and press the button in until the LED on the dongle begins to flash.
  3. Once the LED begins to flash, press the power button three times. The headphones will power cycle and pair to the dongle on the next boot.

โ– Support across devices not specified is not guaranteed and depends entirely on the host deviceโ€™s handling of USB audio.
