HeadbandZ Maxwell - Silicone Headband for Audeze Maxwell 1, 2 & 2 ANC | Made by Wicked Cushions | Enhanced Flexibility, Comfort & Style, Matching Earpad Designs | Black

Great head strap. Fits like stock but better feel .

The original headband on the Maxwells didn't provide enough adjustment for my head. It was either too tight or too loose. The WC headband gave me the extra adjustment I needed. I really wish the original headband had extra notches like the WC one. I don't notice the weight of the new headband like other reviews pointed out. After about 3 hrs of use, I noticed some discomfort at the top of my head; where the headband touches my head. I shave my head, so I lack the extra cushion up there. So keep that in mind if you also no or very little hair. I still recommend the headband.

Really good.

The overall Aesthetics with the band and the replacement ear cups is great! (I just wish they had more color options.) The silicone band looks great and the print doesn't scratch off. The functionality is definitely on point, and with so many holes on the sides for adjustment, you can get the fit of the headphones just right! Well the installation is fairly easy with removing the original headband, the holes on the silicone are a little tight so getting the fit is a little tricky, but not too bad. I don't know if it was just my headband, but be careful when placing in the holes or even gently removing because the fit is so tight my silicone tour while I was placing it into the headband. I'm thinking maybe it was just a defect with the silicone in that spot, or the pressure was too much in that spot when trying to squeeze it between the two posts. Otherwise this would be a 5 out of 5 review

Very comfortable. Having extra options to position the head strap compared to the original leather one the headset ships with allowed me to alleviate a lot of discomfort I was feeling. I also like the look which matches this companies cooling earcups.

I ordered the Kinetic Wave pattern along with the matching ear cushions on June 19, 2025. Being Amazon, they showed up quickly of course and I had it all installed and in use within a week. Overall, this headband does what you need it to. It fits great, is comfortable, and doesn't slide around on a bald head too much. However, I noticed today that the pattern on the headband has slowly worn off and left me with a bright orange section of headband where the Kinetic Wave pattern should be. I'm not sure if the band was dyed or if they're using some kind of film, but whatever it is, it doesn't hold up to my bald head. I've worn my Maxwells around the house doing a broad range of tasks so I've certainly sweat while wearing them, but not to the point where I would expect a piece of rubber(?) to completely release its dye or whatever onto my head. I couldn't believe it which is why I popped on here and felt like sharing my experience. I've had WC ear cushions on two other headsets in the past, and those have all been great. Their headbands leave something to be desired though. So weird.

Very good quality, easy to install and very comfortable to use.

Better than the leather band and will last longer. It has more give if you have a fit that is almost perfect with the stock band. Fits the dark 90s earcup and looks really good! 👍🏼

Silicon material is too soft. Maxwell's are really heavy and these silicon headbands bend too much causing a lot of pain on a single point on my head. Extremely uncomfortable and had to change back to stock headband after 2 uncomfortable days.

excellent upgrade to the original strap on my maxwells, they’re comfy and also offer way more adjustability with the extra holes in the strap.

Kısa süre kullanabildim şimdilik ama kafam küçük olduğu için orijinal kafa bandının 3. deliği bile bana büyük geliyordu ve kulağımın altına iniyordu. Bunun en alttaki 4. deliğine taktığımda kulaklığı daha hafif hissettim kafamda. Devrim yaratan bir ürün değil tabii ki ama bence işe yarıyor.

Confortable et solide, même après plusieurs mois d'utilisation quotidiennes. Bien assorties avec les coussinets de la même marque

It arrived, I swapped the stock leather headband out and it's bliss. It feels as if the already heavy, bulky headset lost 100g. It's made of silicone, has an ever-so-slightly wider middle section and is a tiny bit elastic and that is enough to ease up on the aching the stock headband always gave me after a couple hours of use.
