Audeze announced the latest limited edition color of Maxwell, Wasabi. The color is a green take of their gorgeous Ultraviolet variant.
This variant, which is also exclusive for Xbox, features an “iridescent chameleon-like electroplated finish” that immediately evokes thoughts of Master Chief, and the Halo franchise.
