Which One Sounded the best in the Mic Test?!? Also!!!!!! Here is an update on why you may hear crackling😎 audeze.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001045046-Crinkling-clicking-static-sound-when-I-press-on-the-earcup
Best mic has corsair and mobius sounded same to me. I have penrose x now about 3weeks and i like sound quality for gaming and music but i have issues clamb force is too tight but i put them over nigth slight bending and its feels much better. This headset is those gamers who wants perfect sound quality and wirless headset
Great review , I currently own the Mobius. I’ll be receiving the Penrose today . Mobius sounds great and a lot louder than my previous A50 and Arctic Pro . The only lack there is with the Mobius is a low sidetone and no ability to control sound/chat mix . As far as mic goes I think there’s a setting for them rose for not sound muffled .
Good point! You'll love the sidetone feature in the software for the penrose you can completely turn it off if you want😎......as you saw though I fixed the mic and in the mic comparison the mobius sounds amazing......
I loved your mic quality test. The Penrose sounded muffled to me, which is what my friends say too. I’m quite dissatisfied with the Penrose x. Hoping I can return them.
@@thanakornnarisirikul9261 I have only used the 9x. So can’t comment on the Pro. I can definitely distinguish between enemy footsteps and teammates footsteps with the 9x. So it’s brilliant
First of all, thank you for the reviews you do, they do help a lot ! You've earned a new sub for that ! I just had one thing to say before my question : if you could maybe try to not speal so fast sometimes, it's hard to follow you when it's not your mother tongue :) Now here is my question : I've read some reviews here and there, and some people had a problem with white noise when no other background music or while gaming. Did you experience any of that at all ? Thank you for your answer, and keep up the good work !
Thank you!!! Yes I'll try😅....I haven't had any white noise.....just a slight crackle every once in a while depending on the pressure and temperature in the room because of the planar magnetic drivers
@@DetroitFury Thanks for the answer! Have you tried the headphones for music? I'm looking for a combo for gaming, music, wireless, and it might be the one! Or do you maybe have other suggestions? I really don't need a microphone, so I'm not sure if I'm maybe looking for the wrong kind of headphones, know what I'm saying?
I bought the audeze penrose a month ago. Sound quality is amazing, the small amount of hissing in standy mode doesn't bother me. The headphones sit really tight, it's not too comfortable but it's also not too bad. I am a bit concerned about the small volume wheels, that's usually the first thing that breaks in headphones and I could live without them. Battery life is outright terrible for 2021 standards. I am keeping the headphones because I willingly trade those disadvantages for superb sound quality for a decent price point.
Great review I have a Ps5 and use Quadcast (usb) as my main microphone. I need a new headset to play FPS games like Warzone. Listen footsteps is something very important to me. Because of usb microphone, I can only listen if I plug in the headset to the 3,5mm behind the microphone. What headset would you choose? I’m thinking about Penrose or A50 4th gen.
Great review as always. How was the performance when using these with the PS5? Also, does the game/chat mix work on the PS5? I am so confused as to what to get. I just returned the Arctis Pro Wireless. It did not perform well on the PS5 and seems outdated for the price. Simultaneous Bluetooth is important for me since i use Discord on my phone for party chat while gaming on the PS5. I think i would most likely pick up the Arctis 9 but i am hesitant since it still uses Micro-usb and i loose the game/chat wheel on the headset. Seems to me the entire Arctis line is long overdue for a serious update. Let me know what you think.
Agreed! They do need an update that's for sure, I'm loving this the audio is good but like I mentioned no surround sound it uses the consoles audio instead, these will be my daily headset for now as they are the most convenient and the best for what I'm doing....that says slot seeing how I've reviewed pretty much every headset on this channel😂.....chat mix is still controlled in the ps5 quick start menu for now🙄
As far as bluetooth options I'd personally go with this headset or the arctis 9......this would be my first choice for now in terms of a bluetooth gaming headset
It uses the tempest audio for 3D audio. It’s not bad. Dolby may be better, but I was impressed enough to keep them. I still have my A50s. I hear more detail then on my Astros and Penrose has a few EQ settings you can download. I’m currently preferring the sound of the Penrose over my A50s. I took the Arctis Pros wireless back because it came out in 2017 and I feel it needs a refesah
Hey, great video, I can't decide what headset to get 😩😩 racking my brains.... each headset seems to have different pros & cons, I'm looking for the best competitive headset to play warzone and I can't decide between steelseries Pro, astro a50 or the penrose, I'm not really bothered about features I just want the best audio.... PS5 Player
@@szd4732 they are very good, I'm not sure if they are £300 good though, really undecided about them, but I've not had the experience with other premium headsets to compare them to.
Just bought a mobius, because the Orbit S was OOS at retail price everywhere but Audeze has a ton. It’s here tomorrow. I guess I’ll finally see what all the talk is about. As for the Penrose, I really don’t play my PS5 enough atm to justify over the Pulse 3D 😅
I'm caught between the Penrose the mobius and jbl 800.... I don't mind if wireless or not just want a solid closed back headphone that will make the game sound better with the added directional footsteps enhancer. Which of those is the better one wouldn't mind going wireless one day and wired the next
Great review! Just so bummed out that it doesnt have ANC. Checked them out briefly at a store with BT, they sounded very good, and i agree they did clamp a bit hard on the head. Been contemplating on getting sony xm4, but that one cant connect to ps5 as far as i know
Awesome channel! So I'm still stuck on what headset I should go with. I don't mind my headset being wired but I'm also open to the wireless/wired headsets as well. I bought the corsair virtuoso which has outstanding build quality but the clamping force for my oval-shaped head just gives me headaches within 10 minutes.
Great video...! can u share a good eq preset for fps games ¨warzone basically¨ will u recommend to use DTS on OR off ?? I am getting the penrose in 2-3 days so i would love to have the right settings
As always thanks for all of your reviews ! (4:25 hahahahaha 🤣) , quick question: Would you pick the Penrose instead of the Virtuosos or the Steelseries Pro Wireless?
How is the footsteps in games bro is it the best you have ever heard can you hear people from the lift only and doesn't come thou the right or ? Please help I am very interested I just can't find anyone who will answer this question
Hey, in your testing, have you come across any headsets that allow for left-right balance? I'm 70% deaf in one ear, and would like to find a headset that can be balanced for that. Thanks!
The Mobius mic sounds great, definitely comparable to the Virtuoso, but being that I own the Virtuoso SE, I'll be getting the Mobius this week, I'm hopeful that it will outperform the Virtuoso for VALORANT and CSGO as well as music. The bass on the Virtuoso's is pretty lacking, though I will admit I often get told how great the mic sounds.
Hi i know i'm late, but in Warzone right now i'm using Logitech Pro X wireless, but it's hard to tell the direction, like I know someone's coming from behind, but I can't tell he's above me or below me or on the same level. I like to try this headset. Is it better than X pro in terms of directional footsteps..THANKS
Thanks for the all the reviews. I play fortnite and trying to find a great headset for my ps5 that has great sound n footstep sound tracking. Out of all the headsets you tried which do you recommend?? Thanks in advance bro
I would love to know if you still prefer the steel series pro over penrose almost a year later 😎😎 doubtfull lol. I didn’t think they even galled a candle to them on ps5! Lol
I just got some of these to use on my Ps5 And i was wondering if you figured out how to use the voice/game volume balance? Or do i have to the software everytime i want to adjust that?
Thinking about picking these up, but as far as mics go, can I buy a better boom mic, or is the mic quality largely dependent on the internals of the headset itself?
Would you chose the Arctis Pro Wireless over the Penrose? For me, comfort and ease of use are most important. Im a bit worried about how much of a disadvantage the battery situation is on the Arctis Pro Wireless.
@@DetroitFury Thank you for the response. I've been looking at user reviews for different wireless headsets, but it seems to be so random. Half the user-reviews claims it's the best headset in the world, and the other half claims it's just shit and waste of money. Seems to be the case for all of the wireless headsets at that price range. So confusing.
I’ve had the Penrose x and returned it.. it’s like a vice on your head it clamps hard.. I have small head and it hurt after few minutes. I’ve had the Astro A50s they sound great but feel heavy on, also customer service is awful. I am using the Steel series Arctis 9x it’s so light no clamping you won’t notice you have it on. Game and mic audio is top quality. I’d seriously consider these if I was you.
@@Billiewitches I've still not been able to decide what to buy. Im mostly leaning toward the Arctis Pro Wireless, but there are a few things Im worried about. A lot of people say they break very easy, changing batteries insted of just pluging it in when it's not in use, and the fact that it's on sale from time to time for half the price. Makes me feel like the full price is way to high.
@@SimonFredrikLaugsand I’ve not got the pro wireless as it’s only for PlayStation, so can’t comment, as I’m on Xbox I use 9x it doesn’t need a battery change just plug it in to charge it. check out the website I think there might be a cheaper wireless version for PS4/5. I’ve had not issues with mine breaking, not sure what breaks people are talking about.
Hey man, trying to work through all your videos, but there are soo many headset reviews :) Just wondering what you would recommend best for sound isolation. My other half sits quite close to me but can hear every word of what I'm listening to through these Corsair void headphones, so I'm looking for a replacement that means I can game while she's working!
does penrose blow arctis 7p+ out of water when comparing 3d audio and sound quality? (mainly for story games/single player immersion) thank you for review :)
The JBL has a weird audio issue on the console and I don't gave a pc to bypass that issue means the JBL is out. It's been The Artics wireless and this. I don't care about the price too much. I'll happily pay the premium. Decision time... Mainly used for warzone on the ps5 and also needs to Bluetooth to my mobile during long gaming sessions.
Thx for the vid! I’ve received the Audese Penrose X and I’m very excited, the Headset is really awesome. Except one thing… I notice a underlying hissing noise. Is that normal? Can you confirm that you had the same issue? I got the feedback from Audeze support that it its "worked as designed" in long answer. During a game the hissing noise is not notable. I'm searching for a long time for a headset that work on XSX and PS5 (Arctis 7x has a very bad sound quality) and the penrose are really nice, but the hissing noise is a nogo for a 300$/€ headset. I got it for 255€ but anyway much money for a "high end" headset. But I have no alternative Headset when I want one Headset for both consoles. Greetings from Vienna
On PC there's a mic setting that you turn off in the Audeze app and then the noise stops. I forgot what setting it was, but it has to do with the mic ;)
Im looking for a wireless headset for the ps5 and my mobile to answer calls on one device. You mentioned the JBL 800 but I looked at further reviews and the battery life does sound great with the RGB lighting. Now im here looking at this headset.
I did man but it doesn't show as connected. So I can't change the EQ unless I plug in with USBC. When I unplug and use the dongle nothing is clickable in the app
Iam on Series X via Dongle, and you can EQ them on the fly, just connect them to my laptop while playing a game. Ive had no issues whatsoever with the Penrose X, Best ive Heard and used over the last 2 years. Paid £250, personally think they are a bit of a bargain at that price. Especially when you see the portals are £500 and the penrose beat them!!
For wired if you want the top tier in terms of footsteps and sound quality go for the jbl quantum one or the cloud orbit s....(you can choose the audeze mobius but I'd personally save the extra $100).......for a wireless option that's just as good I'd go for this penrose or the astro a50 gen 4
I use this on my PC. Playing Apex, it seems like I can hear footsteps and shots from further away than my teammates. Positional audio is pretty good. Coming from the Sennheiser GSP600 wired, I would prefer the Penrose over the GSP600 for gaming quality. But, isolation and mic quality are better for the GSP600.
@@DetroitFury Thank you very much for replying so quickly! I’ll probably do that if I can find both in stock :)) By the way I like how you engage a lot with your viewers, keep it up👍👍😄😄
@@unearth87 I ended up going for The Virtuoso XTs. For gaming they are awesome, and I am very very happy with them but, regarding music, keep in mind what you like to listen too. I find that they have a super nice and crisp neutral sound, but if you mainly enjoy bass heavy music then I'd go for some other headset (not sure which). If you want a very good all rounder with the extra ability to have two sound sources and the ability to control both sources' volumes, which I find myself using every day, I'd go for the XTs. Plus you get the Dolby access surround sound just by connecting them to the PC which is pretty nice in my opinion.
how does the music performance and audio quality of this headset compare to other wireless headsets like the arctis pro, arctis 9, virtuoso and g pro X?
Are there any real differences between the penrose and penrose x other than the fact that the x works with xbox? Because the X has a PC mode so it still works with PC and doesn't lose any features that the regular penrose has, right?
Both are the same aside from the X having Xbox compatibility.....I use mine on my ps5 and pc all the time with my jbl quantum 800.....those are my top 2
What size fitted do you wear? I’m at least an 8 1/2 so I’m having a hard time finding something that fits me well. My arctic pro wireless are way too tight :/
Get the original turtle beach elite pros and the dolby atmos app on Xbox and your golden. (Not the series 2 elite pros get the series 1) you don't need 100mm drivers, 60mm sounds great, you also don't need ANC as the earmuffs seal around your ears will keep every noise around you completely muffled out if your playing music or a game.
so i am looking for a new headset and i am thinking about getting the mobius but idk if they would be better then my Steel Series Arctis Pro Wireless headset. Could someone help me out with this decision. Also loved the video on this headset.
So let’s say I want to get a headset for ps5 but I wouldn’t want to go wireless, i want something that doesn’t lose audio latency. Which versions of headphones would I get with audeze
@@DetroitFury penrose arrived yesterday. I live in India so i had to have someone bring this for me from the usa (not available in india) to avoid customs charge. But I must say super clean tuning. JBL 800 (might have more punch and slam for a dynamic?) costs the same as penrose in India. So at the same price I chose the 100mm.
As far as the Artis Pro headset...The argument that youd have to swap a battery out in the middle of a game is ludicrous... First of all...other headsets have no battery swap option...batt dies and you go wired or swap headsets. Next, how about putting in a fresh battery into the headset before you start gaming? You leave out that the pro has two so you can always charge one while using the other. The two batteries allow you to game wirelessly for way more continuous hours than is healthy for a human...but the option is there. No other headphone has swappable batteries...id like to see more of that. Lastly, if you drag your knuckles around you will most likely forget to charge even your 30+ hour headset...and you will be stuck wired.
That's a tough one man, I wouldn't say better I'd say similar since it doesn't have actual surround sound.....I'd say the mobius and arctis pro are better in terms of sound quality than the a50 but the look and build of the a50 is better and I like it more😅
I’ve had the A50s for 3 years. Added leather ear cups and so comfortable and sound even better with them.. it just sucks with PS5 since adapted for A50 is only 2.0 so you can’t get the 120hz.. and I’m about to buy new 2.1 monitor soon so gonna have to upgrade. Thinking about these unless something comes along that’s better
Tough.....prob Penrose if u want wireless but Mobius is much better with it's microphone......if u have a PC/ps5 setup that's the route I would take......or take a look at the jbl quantum 800
These are cleaner and more well rounded than any headphone I've used. Especially with shooters. These headphones do not get crammed with sound. I've been using them for battlefield 5 with the 3d headphones option toggled, and with air strikes and gunfire at the same time, vehicles, and footsteps, everything still has individual sounds vs the a50/cloud flight s getting mushed together and distorted. I could hear the grass on my boots running around in battlefield. It was weird how much depth these offer and the amount of precision the sound has. Gunfire has layers too. Plus these are great because they DONT have surround sound. The surround sound built in on any headphone is an absolute gimmick. Let the game do ALL audio processing
I agree 1000%....just covered the best ones for footsteps in the video I just dropped😎 You'll love it go check it out. ruclips.net/video/PyTb4Gy6CaA/видео.html
@@DetroitFury So surround sound doesn't really matter on a headset? The Audeze Penrose will sound better on my PC/Xbox then a headset with surround sound? Not super knowledgeable, just always thought surround sound was very important.
@@guerillanextdoor I used to want surround sound in all my games but have since come around. Game designers typically tune everything for stereo so I found SS to feel too artificial when I started to pay more attention to detail. Having used the Penrose, it was simply amazing in terms of audio quality compared to $100 gaming headsets with traditional 40-50mm dynamic drivers. I was maining the Cloud 2 for years beforehand (considered arguably one of the best in that budget) and was quite happy with it other than wondering if wireless would be more convenient. So, I ended up getting the Penrose. I'm not an audiophile so I'm not too familiar with the terminology, but I feel like I appreciate good audio quality more than your average person. The Penrose sounded so crystal clear that it made the Cloud 2's distortion quite evident, something I hadn't noticed before. Gunfire in games for the first time sounded incredibly immersive (more so than SS on previous headsets ever did) as did music thanks to the noticeable separation of instruments. I did eventually return the Penrose because I didn't think the audio quality upgrade was really an advantage for gaming, I didn't like having to charge every 3 or 4 days (all wireless headsets should come with a charging dock), wireless convenience wasn't needed as much as I thought, and I couldn't really stomach the $300 price tag. Afterwards though, I did regret returning it and thought about buying them again if they ever went on sale. Wondering if there were any cheaper planar magnetic headphones, I just found out about the Hyperx Orbit S. Looks like they may just be a wired version of the Mobius. $230 on sale seemed like a good deal so I guess I'll see how they are in comparison.
Are these a lot better than the Corsair Virtuoso? I can't decide what headset to grab. I picked up the Virtuoso and took them back after a day because they sounded almost tinny and grabbed the blackshark v2 pro's but they had the same tinny sound. I figured out I had a screwed up setting in PC so I'm thinking about going back and grabbing the Virtuoso again. The Penrose also caught my eye.
These are much better....the only thing that's better is the microphone on the virtuoso vs the penrose.....but the penrose has 100mm planar magnetic drivers...the sound is next level in comparison
@ragnnohab _ dude, they are closed backed planar, that membrane in those things is only a few nonometers thick. That's why the imaging is so good in planar.
First of all great review as always bro ! 😎 My question is does the audeze Penrose Equalizer also work for the ps5 or only for pc ? I mean do the saved settings which I did on the app also work on the ps5 ? :)
Thank you! I believe it's stored on the usb if not the headset....because u can literally adjust the eq from the app on your iphone or Android device so it should
Have you tried taking your hat off when doing your review for noise cancellation? I mean probably 80% of gamers do not use a hat while gaming. So maybe that could be the noise cancellation problem you hat lifting the ear pad up just a little. It’s not laying flat around your ear.
@@DetroitFury no it’s not. I wear hats while gaming as you can see in my picture and even I know without the hat I can barely hear anyone talking to me compared to someone talking to me or making any Thor of noise while I’m wearing my hat. Doesn’t allow the headphone pad to press down where the hat ends on the side of the face. Just a thought… fat from the same.
@@DetroitFury watch your video again and zoom in on the sides of your head with the headphones on.. you’ll see the obvious drop where the hat ends. That little area allows sounds in very clear if you have a good hearing compared to the headphones being snug against your head without the headset on.
If I am looking for a very strong gaming headset with bluetooth connectivity to be able to answer phone calls with while not being able to hear every breath, click, and typing I do that is preferably wireless what do you suggest? If wired is absolutely superior in this want for me then I am open to it. Any help here is appreciated!
Go for this or the mobius.....the mobius is wired this one's wireless....however the sound quality is a tad bit better on the mobius.....both have Bluetooth for you😎
@@DetroitFury Did you have any issues during phone calls with either headset in regards to being able to hear yourself breathe, type, click, etc....as I bought the Arctis Pro Wireless and I am having immense issues with that headset in terms of loud white noise, and absolutely awful call results where I hear everything I do while on the call which is horrible for the kind of work I do. I am still in my return window so trusting the pros here to lead me in the correct direction based on what I am looking for.
@@DetroitFury So on the review of the Mobius you said there were other headsets you would buy instead, does that apply to my situation in terms of knowing I want one that has bluetooth to answer calls with and if so what would you recommend instead that has great audio wired (because I feel wireless has too many issues after review hunting) and has the bluetooth capability as mentioned?
I highly recommend you to stay away from these headphones ! Audeze Mobius/Penrose Hyper x Orbits which is basically the same, while their sound is phenomenal with the planar drivers they get bricked easily and no way to reset it to factory settings or some sort of onboard recovery for it if the battery dies completely everything onboard gets wiped and your headset stops working if you do a firmware update and something happens during the update you will brick it ! I hope Audeze sees this because i 100% stand behind their headsets amazing sound but then you have little things like this that are a dealbreaker for me personally i was lucky enough that the store i bought it from after 7months of use to refund my money but you might not be if you live in a country with less regulations
Have the hyper x cloud orbit s. Kingston is an amazing company. They helped me replace my headset unit twice. Once was the driver left side stopped working and the other time was when the plastic on the right side broke on the head band where it connects to the cup. All they asked was proof of purchase and they sent me new ones right away no issues. I also own a set of Logitech Pro X Wireless. Compared to dynamic to planar drivers. I enjoy the 100 mm drivers on the hyper x because of there nice bass sound profile. Great video.
I highly advise people to AVOID these, the Mobius or HyperX's Cloud Orbit. They have a lot of design issues and/or bad plastic and will eventually break at a plethora of places due to stresses (even if you don't abuse them). It can be the headband glue separating the part, the U shaped bits holding the cups getting a crack and then breaking, and even the cups completely falling out due to the hinge that rotates them breaking and you see them dangling only by the cable. Of course you could be lucky and never have this happen to you but let me tell you... there are a lot of reports (on top of it happening to me personally but that's not as relevant as mass reports). Yes it's very cool that they have an integrated AMP, and mic, and a lot of options & 3D gimmicks if you buy the more expensive models, but it simply isn't worth it when so many break within 6 months to a year. Plenty of other options in the market, chose something with a metal build or at the bare minimum a metal adjustment system.
Wait, hold up! You are saying that the Arctis Pro Wireless has a better sound quality than the Penrose? Used the Arctis pro and they don't even sound better than the Sony XM4's!
You say that steelseries sound better.(am no sure)🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Your opinion is based on what rtings (maybe) said in terms of audio, in that term I do not agree and more when Audeze is a company specialized in quality audio.
The mobius is better than the penrose for sound quality, the arctis pro wireless sounds 🔥🔥 I've reviewed them all....I'll be using the penrose daily though it's my new favorite

Great review
I have a Ps5 and use Quadcast (usb) as my main microphone.
I need a new headset to play FPS games like Warzone.
Listen footsteps is something very important to me.
Because of usb microphone, I can only listen if I plug in the headset to the 3,5mm behind the microphone.
What headset would you choose?
I’m thinking about Penrose or A50 4th gen.
Penrose or jbl quantum 800 for wireless😎
Thank you!
Great review as always. How was the performance when using these with the PS5? Also, does the game/chat mix work on the PS5? I am so confused as to what to get. I just returned the Arctis Pro Wireless. It did not perform well on the PS5 and seems outdated for the price. Simultaneous Bluetooth is important for me since i use Discord on my phone for party chat while gaming on the PS5. I think i would most likely pick up the Arctis 9 but i am hesitant since it still uses Micro-usb and i loose the game/chat wheel on the headset. Seems to me the entire Arctis line is long overdue for a serious update. Let me know what you think.
Agreed! They do need an update that's for sure, I'm loving this the audio is good but like I mentioned no surround sound it uses the consoles audio instead, these will be my daily headset for now as they are the most convenient and the best for what I'm doing....that says slot seeing how I've reviewed pretty much every headset on this channel😂.....chat mix is still controlled in the ps5 quick start menu for now🙄
As far as bluetooth options I'd personally go with this headset or the arctis 9......this would be my first choice for now in terms of a bluetooth gaming headset
It uses the tempest audio for 3D audio. It’s not bad. Dolby may be better, but I was impressed enough to keep them. I still have my A50s. I hear more detail then on my Astros and Penrose has a few EQ settings you can download. I’m currently preferring the sound of the Penrose over my A50s. I took the Arctis Pros wireless back because it came out in 2017 and I feel it needs a refesah
Hey, great video, I can't decide what headset to get 😩😩 racking my brains.... each headset seems to have different pros & cons, I'm looking for the best competitive headset to play warzone and I can't decide between steelseries Pro, astro a50 or the penrose, I'm not really bothered about features I just want the best audio....

@@DetroitFury so jbl and mobious is better than the penrose?
Great review! Just so bummed out that it doesnt have ANC. Checked them out briefly at a store with BT, they sounded very good, and i agree they did clamp a bit hard on the head. Been contemplating on getting sony xm4, but that one cant connect to ps5 as far as i know
Correct.....I'd still go with these tho man, they're my new daily😎
Awesome channel! So I'm still stuck on what headset I should go with. I don't mind my headset being wired but I'm also open to the wireless/wired headsets as well. I bought the corsair virtuoso which has outstanding build quality but the clamping force for my oval-shaped head just gives me headaches within 10 minutes.

Hey, in your testing, have you come across any headsets that allow for left-right balance? I'm 70% deaf in one ear, and would like to find a headset that can be balanced for that. Thanks!
I have not I’m sure there is though ☺️
Im pretty sure there should be software for that
The Mobius mic sounds great, definitely comparable to the Virtuoso, but being that I own the Virtuoso SE, I'll be getting the Mobius this week, I'm hopeful that it will outperform the Virtuoso for VALORANT and CSGO as well as music. The bass on the Virtuoso's is pretty lacking, though I will admit I often get told how great the mic sounds.
The mobius sound quality is next level….especially with the software…you’ll love it!

Hey man, the hyper x orbits are on sale and I was wondering how they are with the ps5 and if you've tested them?
They’re decent but not as good as they are on pc with software
Thinking about picking these up, but as far as mics go, can I buy a better boom mic, or is the mic quality largely dependent on the internals of the headset itself?
Sure you can! I've reviewed them all for ya 😎
Would you chose the Arctis Pro Wireless over the Penrose? For me, comfort and ease of use are most important. Im a bit worried about how much of a disadvantage the battery situation is on the Arctis Pro Wireless.
No I use my jbl quantum 800 and this headset daily now.....gave my arctis pro wireless away to a friend😎👍
@@DetroitFury Thank you for the response. I've been looking at user reviews for different wireless headsets, but it seems to be so random. Half the user-reviews claims it's the best headset in the world, and the other half claims it's just shit and waste of money. Seems to be the case for all of the wireless headsets at that price range. So confusing.
I’ve had the Penrose x and returned it.. it’s like a vice on your head it clamps hard.. I have small head and it hurt after few minutes. I’ve had the Astro A50s they sound great but feel heavy on, also customer service is awful.
I am using the Steel series Arctis 9x it’s so light no clamping you won’t notice you have it on. Game and mic audio is top quality. I’d seriously consider these if I was you.
@@Billiewitches I've still not been able to decide what to buy. Im mostly leaning toward the Arctis Pro Wireless, but there are a few things Im worried about. A lot of people say they break very easy, changing batteries insted of just pluging it in when it's not in use, and the fact that it's on sale from time to time for half the price. Makes me feel like the full price is way to high.
@@SimonFredrikLaugsand I’ve not got the pro wireless as it’s only for PlayStation, so can’t comment, as I’m on Xbox I use 9x it doesn’t need a battery change just plug it in to charge it. check out the website I think there might be a cheaper wireless version for PS4/5. I’ve had not issues with mine breaking, not sure what breaks people are talking about.
Hey man, trying to work through all your videos, but there are soo many headset reviews :) Just wondering what you would recommend best for sound isolation. My other half sits quite close to me but can hear every word of what I'm listening to through these Corsair void headphones, so I'm looking for a replacement that means I can game while she's working!

@@DetroitFury do the Mobius connect wirelessly to the ps5 or do the Penrose only do that?
does penrose blow arctis 7p+ out of water when comparing 3d audio and sound quality? (mainly for story games/single player immersion) thank you for review :)
Yes
Do you just use the default preset for these games or do you have specific presets
The JBL has a weird audio issue on the console and I don't gave a pc to bypass that issue means the JBL is out.
It's been The Artics wireless and this. I don't care about the price too much. I'll happily pay the premium. Decision time...
Mainly used for warzone on the ps5 and also needs to Bluetooth to my mobile during long gaming sessions.
I use mine for ps5 and it’s the best I’ve used on console….for me it’s better than the Penrose
Arctis wireless is out for me…..
Thx for the vid! I’ve received the Audese Penrose X and I’m very excited, the Headset is really awesome.
Except one thing… I notice a underlying hissing noise. Is that normal? Can you confirm that you had the same issue?
I got the feedback from Audeze support that it its "worked as designed" in long answer.
During a game the hissing noise is not notable.
I'm searching for a long time for a headset that work on XSX and PS5 (Arctis 7x has a very bad sound quality) and the penrose are really nice, but the hissing noise is a nogo for a 300$/€ headset.
I got it for 255€ but anyway much money for a "high end" headset. But I have no alternative Headset when I want one Headset for both consoles.
Greetings from Vienna
Thanks for watching!!! The hissing I havent experienced....I did experience a slight crackle here and there ....which is normal however
On PC there's a mic setting that you turn off in the Audeze app and then the noise stops. I forgot what setting it was, but it has to do with the mic ;)
@@DonBuonasera its much better after the last fw update :)

Should I connect to my PC via Bluetooth or the dongle? Seems like using the dingle prevents me from using the HQ.
The dongle….download the desktop app
I did man but it doesn't show as connected. So I can't change the EQ unless I plug in with USBC. When I unplug and use the dongle nothing is clickable in the app
Really appreciate your help. Just found your content and it is great.
Iam on Series X via Dongle, and you can EQ them on the fly, just connect them to my laptop while playing a game.
Ive had no issues whatsoever with the Penrose X, Best ive Heard and used over the last 2 years.
Paid £250, personally think they are a bit of a bargain at that price. Especially when you see the portals are £500 and the penrose beat them!!
So for games like apex what headset would you recommend for the ps5?
For wired if you want the top tier in terms of footsteps and sound quality go for the jbl quantum one or the cloud orbit s....(you can choose the audeze mobius but I'd personally save the extra $100).......for a wireless option that's just as good I'd go for this penrose or the astro a50 gen 4
There are far better wired options
I use this on my PC. Playing Apex, it seems like I can hear footsteps and shots from further away than my teammates. Positional audio is pretty good. Coming from the Sennheiser GSP600 wired, I would prefer the Penrose over the GSP600 for gaming quality. But, isolation and mic quality are better for the GSP600.
choose one audeze penrose or epos h3 pro hybrid?
Penrose

@@J.I.R.A which did you end up going with? These are the 2 I'm considering
@@unearth87 I ended up going for The Virtuoso XTs. For gaming they are awesome, and I am very very happy with them but, regarding music, keep in mind what you like to listen too. I find that they have a super nice and crisp neutral sound, but if you mainly enjoy bass heavy music then I'd go for some other headset (not sure which). If you want a very good all rounder with the extra ability to have two sound sources and the ability to control both sources' volumes, which I find myself using every day, I'd go for the XTs. Plus you get the Dolby access surround sound just by connecting them to the PC which is pretty nice in my opinion.
how does the music performance and audio quality of this headset compare to other wireless headsets like the arctis pro, arctis 9, virtuoso and g pro X?
Aside from okay treble it's great!!
@@DetroitFury so it's better than those headsets I mentioned above in regards to audio quality and music?
Are there any real differences between the penrose and penrose x other than the fact that the x works with xbox? Because the X has a PC mode so it still works with PC and doesn't lose any features that the regular penrose has, right?
Both are the same aside from the X having Xbox compatibility.....I use mine on my ps5 and pc all the time with my jbl quantum 800.....those are my top 2
How did you get the iOS app to do anything with the headset. As far as I know it doesn’t support it on iOS based on the lack of a chipset from Apple
It wouldn't be in the ios store if that was the case....I haven't used it since this video tbh.....maybe a new update screwed something up
I only really use the headset when gaming next to my pc so I haven't had the need since I tested it
It's supposed to work on your iPad as well but I never tried it that way🧑💻
Im sitting between this or Astro A50?

What? XD
Get the original turtle beach elite pros and the dolby atmos app on Xbox and your golden. (Not the series 2 elite pros get the series 1) you don't need 100mm drivers, 60mm sounds great, you also don't need ANC as the earmuffs seal around your ears will keep every noise around you completely muffled out if your playing music or a game.

Pretty much😂
use atmos/dtx for pc/xbox or tempest on ps5. Nothing for ps4 though.
Ur videos are on point fam...my mind is made up.
Thanks brotha😎👍
As far as the Artis Pro headset...The argument that youd have to swap a battery out in the middle of a game is ludicrous...
First of all...other headsets have no battery swap option...batt dies and you go wired or swap headsets.
Next, how about putting in a fresh battery into the headset before you start gaming? You leave out that the pro has two so you can always charge one while using the other.
The two batteries allow you to game wirelessly for way more continuous hours than is healthy for a human...but the option is there. No other headphone has swappable batteries...id like to see more of that.
Lastly, if you drag your knuckles around you will most likely forget to charge even your 30+ hour headset...and you will be stuck wired.
😎👍
Is it better than the astro a50 in terms of audio Quality ?
That's a tough one man, I wouldn't say better I'd say similar since it doesn't have actual surround sound.....I'd say the mobius and arctis pro are better in terms of sound quality than the a50 but the look and build of the a50 is better and I like it more😅
Which is the best gaming heaset in terms of audio quality to buy ?
The Astro A50 is not even close to the Penrose in sq
A50s are base heavy. Penrose is crips and detailed. A50s are now sound muddy to me.
The Penrose is the best sounding game headset and it’s not even close and I had them all zero distortion and extremely loud
Keep going bro
This better than the hyperx cloud orbit s right ?
Thanks Brotha! For me it is yes.....you have a ton of options like I covered in the video at this price range but I'm using this one daily now😎
Just bought the a50s for my ps5 lol now I'm thinking about returning them after watching this review
Do it!!
I’ve had the A50s for 3 years. Added leather ear cups and so comfortable and sound even better with them.. it just sucks with PS5 since adapted for A50 is only 2.0 so you can’t get the 120hz.. and I’m about to buy new 2.1 monitor soon so gonna have to upgrade. Thinking about these unless something comes along that’s better

No
Not in my opinion .....but it depends all on personal preference
Do HyperX cloud orbit have noise canceling?
No...check out the jbl quantum 800 I just reviewed 😎
These are cleaner and more well rounded than any headphone I've used. Especially with shooters. These headphones do not get crammed with sound. I've been using them for battlefield 5 with the 3d headphones option toggled, and with air strikes and gunfire at the same time, vehicles, and footsteps, everything still has individual sounds vs the a50/cloud flight s getting mushed together and distorted. I could hear the grass on my boots running around in battlefield. It was weird how much depth these offer and the amount of precision the sound has. Gunfire has layers too. Plus these are great because they DONT have surround sound. The surround sound built in on any headphone is an absolute gimmick. Let the game do ALL audio processing
I agree 1000%....just covered the best ones for footsteps in the video I just dropped😎
You'll love it go check it out. ruclips.net/video/PyTb4Gy6CaA/видео.html
@@DetroitFury I gave it a watch. The penrose's are definitely on another level in terms of sound quality! Thanks for the link!
@@DetroitFury So surround sound doesn't really matter on a headset? The Audeze Penrose will sound better on my PC/Xbox then a headset with surround sound? Not super knowledgeable, just always thought surround sound was very important.
@@guerillanextdoor I used to want surround sound in all my games but have since come around. Game designers typically tune everything for stereo so I found SS to feel too artificial when I started to pay more attention to detail.
Having used the Penrose, it was simply amazing in terms of audio quality compared to $100 gaming headsets with traditional 40-50mm dynamic drivers. I was maining the Cloud 2 for years beforehand (considered arguably one of the best in that budget) and was quite happy with it other than wondering if wireless would be more convenient. So, I ended up getting the Penrose.
I'm not an audiophile so I'm not too familiar with the terminology, but I feel like I appreciate good audio quality more than your average person. The Penrose sounded so crystal clear that it made the Cloud 2's distortion quite evident, something I hadn't noticed before. Gunfire in games for the first time sounded incredibly immersive (more so than SS on previous headsets ever did) as did music thanks to the noticeable separation of instruments.
I did eventually return the Penrose because I didn't think the audio quality upgrade was really an advantage for gaming, I didn't like having to charge every 3 or 4 days (all wireless headsets should come with a charging dock), wireless convenience wasn't needed as much as I thought, and I couldn't really stomach the $300 price tag. Afterwards though, I did regret returning it and thought about buying them again if they ever went on sale.
Wondering if there were any cheaper planar magnetic headphones, I just found out about the Hyperx Orbit S. Looks like they may just be a wired version of the Mobius. $230 on sale seemed like a good deal so I guess I'll see how they are in comparison.
Are these a lot better than the Corsair Virtuoso? I can't decide what headset to grab. I picked up the Virtuoso and took them back after a day because they sounded almost tinny and grabbed the blackshark v2 pro's but they had the same tinny sound. I figured out I had a screwed up setting in PC so I'm thinking about going back and grabbing the Virtuoso again. The Penrose also caught my eye.
These are much better....the only thing that's better is the microphone on the virtuoso vs the penrose.....but the penrose has 100mm planar magnetic drivers...the sound is next level in comparison
I am returning mine due to the crackling.

Have you tried taking your hat off when doing your review for noise cancellation? I mean probably 80% of gamers do not use a hat while gaming. So maybe that could be the noise cancellation problem you hat lifting the ear pad up just a little. It’s not laying flat around your ear.
its the same.....my head is round and the headset sits very snug
@@DetroitFury no it’s not. I wear hats while gaming as you can see in my picture and even I know without the hat I can barely hear anyone talking to me compared to someone talking to me or making any Thor of noise while I’m wearing my hat. Doesn’t allow the headphone pad to press down where the hat ends on the side of the face. Just a thought… fat from the same.
@@DetroitFury watch your video again and zoom in on the sides of your head with the headphones on.. you’ll see the obvious drop where the hat ends. That little area allows sounds in very clear if you have a good hearing compared to the headphones being snug against your head without the headset on.
in the ending segment of the video can I know why did you think that the apw is a better overall headset than the penrose?
Battery life and functionality with everything.....I'd still take the penrose
If I am looking for a very strong gaming headset with bluetooth connectivity to be able to answer phone calls with while not being able to hear every breath, click, and typing I do that is preferably wireless what do you suggest? If wired is absolutely superior in this want for me then I am open to it. Any help here is appreciated!
Go for this or the mobius.....the mobius is wired this one's wireless....however the sound quality is a tad bit better on the mobius.....both have Bluetooth for you😎
@@DetroitFury Did you have any issues during phone calls with either headset in regards to being able to hear yourself breathe, type, click, etc....as I bought the Arctis Pro Wireless and I am having immense issues with that headset in terms of loud white noise, and absolutely awful call results where I hear everything I do while on the call which is horrible for the kind of work I do.
I am still in my return window so trusting the pros here to lead me in the correct direction based on what I am looking for.
@@DetroitFury So on the review of the Mobius you said there were other headsets you would buy instead, does that apply to my situation in terms of knowing I want one that has bluetooth to answer calls with and if so what would you recommend instead that has great audio wired (because I feel wireless has too many issues after review hunting) and has the bluetooth capability as mentioned?
Reviews said the mic was bad but that mic sounds fine .
It's decent for sure 😎
It got an update after release.
I highly recommend you to stay away from these headphones !
Audeze Mobius/Penrose Hyper x Orbits which is basically the same, while their sound is phenomenal with the planar drivers
they get bricked easily and no way to reset it to factory settings or some sort of onboard recovery for it
if the battery dies completely everything onboard gets wiped and your headset stops working if you do a firmware update and something happens during the update you will brick it !
I hope Audeze sees this because i 100% stand behind their headsets amazing sound but then you have little things like this that are a dealbreaker for me personally
i was lucky enough that the store i bought it from after 7months of use to refund my money but you might not be if you live in a country with less regulations
🤕😅
Have the hyper x cloud orbit s. Kingston is an amazing company. They helped me replace my headset unit twice. Once was the driver left side stopped working and the other time was when the plastic on the right side broke on the head band where it connects to the cup. All they asked was proof of purchase and they sent me new ones right away no issues. I also own a set of Logitech Pro X Wireless. Compared to dynamic to planar drivers. I enjoy the 100 mm drivers on the hyper x because of there nice bass sound profile. Great video.
Great review but I feel like it's shouldn't be worth the prices it is at. Lol

It not having noise cancellation puts me off tbh...
i feel ya
That’s a very cool headset.
Yessirrr
dobre su samo guraj brate moj
Fala ti legendooooo 💪😎
I highly advise people to AVOID these, the Mobius or HyperX's Cloud Orbit.
They have a lot of design issues and/or bad plastic and will eventually break at a plethora of places due to stresses (even if you don't abuse them). It can be the headband glue separating the part, the U shaped bits holding the cups getting a crack and then breaking, and even the cups completely falling out due to the hinge that rotates them breaking and you see them dangling only by the cable. Of course you could be lucky and never have this happen to you but let me tell you... there are a lot of reports (on top of it happening to me personally but that's not as relevant as mass reports). Yes it's very cool that they have an integrated AMP, and mic, and a lot of options & 3D gimmicks if you buy the more expensive models, but it simply isn't worth it when so many break within 6 months to a year. Plenty of other options in the market, chose something with a metal build or at the bare minimum a metal adjustment system.
😅
You wont hear everything around you. Didn't hear someone enter my room for example. Lots of sounds and some types of sound do make it through

Wait, hold up! You are saying that the Arctis Pro Wireless has a better sound quality than the Penrose? Used the Arctis pro and they don't even sound better than the Sony XM4's!
No way!! The Penrose are better ….sorry if you misunderstood me or I said it differently 😎
Hate the blue accents on the headset
I swapped mine with my mobius earcups🤣
Nice
you can buy replacement cups from Audeze.
Great review! But not the STEP BRO! lol
🤣🤣💯
Why didn't you help ur step sis? 😔
🤣🤣
You say that steelseries sound better.(am no sure)🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Your opinion is based on what rtings (maybe) said in terms of audio, in that term I do not agree and more when Audeze is a company specialized in quality audio.
The mobius is better than the penrose for sound quality, the arctis pro wireless sounds 🔥🔥 I've reviewed them all....I'll be using the penrose daily though it's my new favorite
This is Based on my testing no one else's ratings 😅
Penrose Sound is better than the Arctis.
Świetny materiał ;)
😎💪
Mobius has the best mic
Yesss
Audeze's worst set of cans beats gaming's best sets. No surprise here.
😎💪
Cool
😝
Try slowing the talking down!!
If they sent you a headset for free to do a review it’s not the same as an unbiased review. This is basically a paid ad.
That’s BS. If you’ve actually watched my reviews you’d know they were always honest and for gamers.
Junk
You probably don’t even own any.
@@JurassicF4rt you’re right I don’t.
I had to return them after 6 days when the ear cup broke off as they were on my head.
