Maxwell 2 ANC User Guide - ANC - Active Noise Cancellation

NOTE: Please note that this page is written exclusively for Maxwell 2 ANC headsets, and does not apply to the base Maxwell 2 model.

ย 
Developed with aviation-grade technology, Maxwell 2 ANC cuts the background noise so

you can focus on gaming, music, or work.

ย 

Maxwell 2 ANC is carefully engineered to maintain consistently accurate audio response with

ANC on or off.

ย 

Press the front-facingย ANC button on the left side of the headsetย to cycle through three

listening modes:

ย 

  • Active Noise Cancelling (ANC):ย Uses the headset's microphones to detect ambient sound

    and generates an opposing sound wave to reduce background noise. Recommended for

    use in loud environments such as airplanes, public transit, or busy offices.

    ย 

  • Transparency Mode:ย Uses the microphones to let ambient sound into your listening

    experience, allowing you to hear conversations and surroundings without removing the

    headset.

    ย 

  • Off:ย Disables both ANC and Transparency Mode. Only passive noise isolation from the ear cushions is present. This mode also conserves the most battery.


Each press advances to the next mode in sequence:ย ANCย โ†’ย Transparencyย โ†’ย Off
