Introducing the Coconut Headset: A Sea of Thieves-Themed Special Edition

May 5, 2026

Audeze and Embody have teamed up with Sea of Thieves to introduce the Coconut Headset - a limited-edition, real-world headset inspired by the game’s iconic pirate aesthetic. Designed for fans who want to bring a piece of the Sea of Thieves world into their setup, the Coconut Headset blends distinctive visual character with premium craftsmanship.

A custom-crafted edition of the new Audeze Maxwell 2 headset styled with Sea of Thieves energy, this real-world collectible features real coconut shell detailing and a finish designed to feel straight out of the game. This collaboration combines design, audio performance, and personalization to create a headset that is as functional as it is thematic.

And here’s the fun part — no two Coconut Headsets are exactly alike. Just like your personalized Immerse profile, every pair has its own unique coconut shell grain and natural variations, making yours genuinely one-of-a-kind.

A collectible you can actually wear

Meet the IRL version of the in-game “Coconut Headband” cosmetic. The Coconut Headset turns a Sea of Thieves item into a real-world collectible - built to feel like it belongs on a captain’s desk, but designed for everyday play. From the texture cues to the overall silhouette, every choice is meant to channel the Sea of Thieves vibe without turning it into a costume piece.

Whether you’re sailing with your crew or just want a standout item in your setup, this release is for players who love the details.

Crafted from the real world

This isn’t just “coconut-themed.” The Coconut Headset incorporates real coconut shell detailing to capture that unmistakable island-pirate energy in a tangible, display-worthy way.

The shells are sourced from Bến Tre, Vietnam — a region so renowned for its groves it’s known locally as the “Land of Coconut.” Each one is a Dừa Ta, a large native variety, harvested and shaped over three days before ever leaving the country.

From there, every shell spends two full workdays at the Audeze plant — checked, ground, sanded, and hand-fitted to the headset components before the final glue-up.

Even the headband is hand-stitched, so the whole headset carries the marks of the people who actually made it — not a stamped-out finish from a machine. "This is one of the most creative builds we've ever done," said Sankar Thiagasamudram, CEO of Audeze. "We took the performance of Maxwell 2 and brought an iconic Sea of Thieves cosmetic into the real world — with real materials, real craftsmanship, and a lot of personality."

A peek behind the scenes at how each one comes to life:

Built on the Maxwell 2

The Coconut Headset is built on Audeze Maxwell 2 - Audeze’s newest wireless gaming headset platform, featuring comfort upgrades and performance refinements while keeping the long-battery-life, low-latency focus the Maxwell line is known for.

• 90mm planar magnetic drivers
• 80+ hour battery life + 20 min fast charge = up to 24 hours
• Ultra-low latency wireless
• SLAM™ (Symmetric Linear Acoustic Modulator) uses tuned acoustic channels for enhanced low-frequency response and lower distortion — a strong match for Immerse personalization
• FILTER™ AI Noise Removal for clearer voice comms
• Comfort updates: wider, ventilated head strap + upgraded earpad design

A custom-crafted edition of the new Audeze Maxwell 2 headset doesn't just look the part — it's the engine behind a headset that can hold its own on any voyage. "This is about bringing players closer to the world of Sea of Thieves," said Kapil Jain, CEO of Embody. "The Immerse Gamepack transforms how you hear the game — the Coconut Headset lets you wear it."

Built for the voyage

Real coconut shells from Bến Tre. The raw power of Maxwell 2. An Immerse profile tuned to your ears alone. The Coconut Headset isn’t a replica or a display piece - it’s a working flagship with a soul, shaped by hand and made to be heard.

Hoist it on, dial it in, and set sail. The seas sound a little different from here.
