One of my top gaming headset picks just got a new level of customization: Audeze’s ReSkin earmuffs let you “bring style and personality” to your headset.

The line launches with six models, including a complete set from a Southern California artisan.
The headphones are available from Audeze for $39.99 or $59.99 and are compatible with the PlayStation and Xbox variants of the Maxwell 2.

The Audeze Maxwell 2 is one of my favorite gaming headsets in recent years. However, it’s slightly guilty of a familiar sin shared by many other audiophile headphones on the market: its aesthetic is very simple.

But that was the case until now.

This is a similar system to SteelSeries headsets, which allows users to swap out earcup plates and headbands for colors of their choice, and is a very welcome addition.

Audeze claims they will be simple to use and “can be easily removed with a simple movement thanks to their lightweight magnetic design, allowing customers to easily switch between their favorite models at any time.”

At $39.99 or $59.99, the ReSkin headphones will be compatible with the PlayStation and Xbox variants of the headset and are available now from the brand.
