Audeze Penrose Review | Audiophile Wireless Gaming Headset

The Audeze Penrose is the follow up to the Audeze Mobius gaming headset of 2018. The Penrose loses a lot of the gimmicks from the Mobius and adds highly requested 2.4ghz wireless connectivity, meaning you can game in it wirelessly unlike the Mobius' limiting Bluetooth connectivity. All of this combines to make it a great audiophile grade wireless gaming headset.

Huge thanks to Audeze for loaning me this for review!

Spot on review and I agree with the conclusion versus Mobius - in fact I literally sold my mobius as soon my pre-order Penrose arrived.

Any chance you’ll try out the dekoni suede pads for these? Have been incredibly curious about how those change sound.

[amirranjbar]

That hiss or noise is probably the side tone which you have to turn off

[leehamlet]

Excellent review! Got them and love them besides the odd woozy sound occasionally in the left cup/a buzz when on

[brachialplexus]

GREAT review. Would have subscribed but you don't seem to do a lot of head phone reviews and not very often?

[Pandemonium]

Has the noise floor issue has been fixed? Ive read a reddit review that is a month old and they indicated that the hiss is gone

I believe if you set the toggle on the 2.4ghz USB adapter to PC and then connect it to Apple’s USB camera adapter, you can get lossless audio out of an iPhone. Not entirely sure if it is indeed lossless though.

Found you via DMS who recommneded you. Your Microphone is fantastic, it's the clearest I've heard for reviews for a while. I do like the way you present the review as well. Subbed. BTW have you heard the A50? I know it's a 7.1 which you say you don't like, but I have to say, with a fair amount of audio gear, it's musical ability is pretty surprising and detail is good for gaming as well.

What wireless headsets do you find to have the best audio quality?

[shootermcgaven]

How's this compare to Arctis pro? Sound Peripherals like footsteps and sound for gaming.

[christiangarcia]

For console gaming in just terms of sound plugged in 3.5mm or wireless?

[GTXsnowball]

What would u recomend for ps5 with blu.t. 2.5Ghz ? price don't matter

[Adrian]

How is the sound in comparison to like a steel series pro wirless 7.1? As I’ve only ever used 7.1 headsets for FPS and online games

[the_wau_]

didn't notice any clipping or weird distortion artifacts throughout. sounds great!

i wonder, though; are you using some sort of acoustic treatment in your room?

[auxxfps]

The good imaging part sounds good for competitive fps, what are your thoughts on that use case.

[fubukeh]

Hi! Excelent video! Would you please tell me the best option for Wired gaming (Auxiliar p2 connection) arround $300?

[chunkylover]

Did you try any EQ profiles? You're probably not a fan of them, but just curious if anything stood out to you during a particular game or generally.

[garysandhu]

Does the penrose have a mix amp for game/chat volume?

[xGaLoSx]

would have liked a preview of that hiss.. how bad is it? I want to buy these but you killed it for me there.

[ABPreach]

Is the crackle of the diaphragm normal? Audeze says it is, but I don’t know.
