Source: audeze.com (verified 2026-07-07). Fetched the official Audeze Maxwell product page (audeze.com/products/maxwell) via fetch-clean.mjs; its Specifications table confirms verbatim: 90 mm planar-magnetic transducer, Weight 490g, detachable hypercardioid boom microphone, Connection "Wireless" (ultra-low-latency + Bluetooth 5.3), Battery life "Over 80 hrs wireless playback @ 80dBA", and Spatial Audio "Dolby Atmos (Xbox Version) / Tempest 3D (PlayStation Version)" — so surround_sound=true and battery_hours=80. The page also lists price "$299.00 - $329.00" and marks the original Maxwell as a legacy product. No lighting/RGB appears anywhere in the spec table or marketing, so rgb=false per the catalog's presence-boolean convention; no release date/year is stated on the page, so release and releaseDate are left null. Adversarial re-fetch (2026-07-08) confirmed the exact model (Maxwell, SKU 208-MW-1120-01, legacy — not Maxwell 2) and every non-null spec verbatim. Retailer corroboration was attempted (Best Buy, B&H Photo, Crutchfield, Newegg, Amazon) but every retailer either aborted the connection, returned HTTP 403, or 404'd, so corroboration is null.
