I hope they are better than the Mobius were
A50 has a hdmi adapter with a optical input for 40 dollars on Astro website. I got one for my Ps5, and I took it off I ran the Optical cable to the opt out on my oled works that way. Also I think a50 has a update for Xbox for the usb for sound
Very good review👍👍👍👍👍
Take my money for those Penrose beauties!!!!
Hi TD! So have the Penrose X taken over the steel series artic 7 white for your ps5? Do you still like your artic 7 white? Do you find the actic 7 white comfy and non fatiguing.
I see what you mean about that 27uk850w monitor not being certified hdr 400, i realised i had the 27ul850w monitor which is certified hdr 400 and about the only difference compared to 27uk850w. The penrose x look like a good option but that hundred 100 extra in australia, u think its really worth it?
Where HIFI AUDIO meets gaming headset. Great opening line!!!
On my A40s, I just had to do a firmware update to use just the usb and not the optical.
Gaming you want footstep and localizing. For shooters games
Have you ever tried the Beyerdynamic MMX 300? That is what I use now, and I've had them for a few years. I'm trying to decide if I should purchase the Penrose X.
My penrose x should come this or next week 🥰 hyyype 🙌
I use the Philips shp9500 using Sonic sound on the Xbox. Haven't decided on Atmos or DTS x. They aren't gaming headphones but they do a really good job
Update firmware will take care of audio for A50’s. The update will allow you just to connect the headset with usb.
Even the update to the astro a50 with USB plug-in sounds like shit, I had to get hdmi extractor
I updated my A50’s via the firmware and connected them to the micro usb. Works most of the time; however, from time to time have to go through resets on the series x to get them to connect. Kinda frustrating. Also, when you have them plugged in, you can’t use Dolby atmos on you’re home theater through Xbox’s software. There’s been some forums on this topic but pretty lame to spend $300 on the Astros then thousands on a home theater to have to manual up plug the base station when using atmos setup.
7min 03 Astro A50's work fine with the series X …try updating them through the astro software allowing you to use them with usb !!!!!
Watching a review about the Audeze Penrose x through the Penrose X.
I've had my Penrose X for awhile now and really like them. When I switch back to my Rig800lx the sound just seems kinda muffled. As far as eq settings go I prefer a pretty much flat setting. Music does sound pretty amazing!
I bought the Audeze Penrose for my PS5 on Amazon & I can’t wait to try out the sound
You can use the A50's on the series x, but you have to run the optical to your TV optical port or have to use an HDMI audio extractor. Also, Astro updated the firmware to use audio and video chat through the micro USB, but it disables the presets on the base station
How comfortable is the Penrose for smaller heads?
Just update the A50, done, I have them and they work with Xbox series X. Also I brought an bluetooth adapter, so I can watch movies on my ipad pro.
great review techno dad.
Thank you for taking the time to make this great review. I just purchased the Penrose X but I’m on the fence on whether I should return it and purchase the Sony XM4s as an alternative as I want a pair of headphones that can be portable for music on the go and also do well for gaming. I realize the XM4s would need to be wired through the AUX input on the controller but that’s not really a big deal since I can equip a great mic with it like the VMODA boom mic pro.
Curious to see what your thoughts would be in terms of sound quality differences between the two. Do you think there would be a big difference? I’m not an audiophile by any means so I value your input here.
What's the best headset under $130?
Tested few headsets and nothing impressed me till I got Audeze Mobius for my XSX…..overall I still prefer my 5.1 speaker setup but still kind of fun to use the Mobius especially late in the night
One of the best reviews I have watched!! Thanks for the great info and I'm planning on listening to your tracks. Just got the Penrose last week and love them. Also have the Drop PC38X which all a slight bit better for gaming.
When someone starts the review with "I'd like to thank __ for sending me the ___" the person is just selling you the product.
Great Review… ordered the Audeze today.. was torn between them and the Arctis Pro Wireless but so glad I have gone with these
most the reviews seem to be for console, im torn between this and the steelseries pro wirless for gaming.. as im use to surround sound 7 .1 on my current logitech g935 im not sure what would be better for online games as the penrose wont have 7.1 and the audeze morphius cant do 7.1 without being plugged in.
can you do a review for these vs steel-series pro wirless.
@technodad Hi man, So I just want to let you know, I have created an OLED community website. Its not yet live. On the site, Id like to post 1 of your videos from your channel. If this is ok please let me know. If not thats okay too. If you choose to say yes, Please let me know a video to feature, As I have also reached out to some other tv tech creators. I think your channel would be great for the project. Thanks.
you need review the Sony Pulse 3D headset..
I read they arent too different than the mobius except they dont have the 3d rendering.
I have the mobius, and yeah, the sq is nice but man the soundstage is typical for a closed back. I just use them for bluetooth for my phone with ldac.
Oh, if you havent dled the drivers for the a50 from astro, it might not work. Some reports have said the usb audio sucks compared to the optic though.
Which is better
Audeze Penrose X or Articis 7X
Appreciate any feedback and honesty as the Penrose X are expensive.
Currently have Steelseries 7X due to my A50 gen3s dropped in quality after the generation upgrade.
You can use them with USB after a firmware update, but they are not the same quality as before when using optical cable. I loved my Astro A50s, I would have recommended them to anyone but not now.
Not currently feeling the 7X matches what I had with A50s, although its early days and different doesn't necessarily mean worse.
New Sub to the channel, loved this review thank you.
Astros are not worth their money if the EQ and DD do not work on the Mixamp. Only if you get an HDMI audio extractor to pull an optical signal from the HDMI feed.
I own the Audeze Penrose.. playing COD and an AC30 rains down and the bass was absurd… these headphones are galaxies infront of anything else.. Music on these are excellent as well
The replacement pads for the mobius fit the penrose if you don't like the green (or blue for ps users) Great review. Also if you're on a budget the hyperx cloud obrbit and orbit s are made by audeze and are wired versions of the penrose and mobius. They can usually be found on sale.
