This was, however, easily fixed by holding down the volume, mic monitoring, and source button for a few seconds. It still worked without any problems, but when holding down the power button, it didn’t respond. I did also suffer a problem where the headset wouldn’t turn off.

None of these complaints are deal-breakers by any means, but it’s worth pointing out because if your first instinct is to go wired, you won’t be getting the full range of what this headset is capable of.

Plus the fact this headset needs to be powered on, even when connected via the controller, there isn’t any real reason to use the AUX cable. Given Audeze itself recommends not using the AUX cable, it begs the question why it’s included. It’s most noticeable in the mic quality, which loses its clarity. Not only does the included cable feel cheap, which contrasts heavily with the feel over every other element in the package, it downgrades the experience. The second issue, while you can use the included AUX cable to hook the Penrose up to the controller, you shouldn’t. Something akin to the HyperX Cloud Revolver’s self-adjusting headset is where every headset maker’s head needs to be. I would like to see improvements made in this area in the next generation.

For one of Audeze’s first outings, it’ll do the job. It is wearable without any discomfort, though. It’s not the most pleasant headset I’ve worn, but it’s nowhere near the worst either. So, what are the catches? First, the Audeze Penrose is comfortable enough.

While I can’t say how accurate that claim is, I can report the mic is ridiculously clear, and reproduces a natural-sounding voice free of distortion. Blessed.Īs for the mic, again, you’re getting some cutting-edge tech that’s capable of filtering out up to 20dB of unwanted noise. In fact, this headset has been designed to be able to easily switch between connecting to the dongle that goes into the console and a mobile device with the press of the button. If you want to use this beast to listen to music, the option’s there and the sound quality is still superb.

The brilliance of Audeze’s drivers is the fact you don’t need to just use this headset for gaming. The Audeze Penrose really puts you at the center of the action, and the feeling of gunshot sounds whizzing past your head is how video games are meant to be played. Even if you don’t play, it’s worth loading up just to check out the game with 3D audio turned on. These drivers are some of the best when it comes to reproducing spacious sound with multiple layers. In terms of audio quality, Audeze’s planar magnetic drivers are in a league of their own. But can Audeze capture lightning in a bottle in the headset space? In short, yes, but there are some catches. I recently tried out the Audueze LCD-1 headphones and was blown away by the quality. While some companies treat this as a money-making fad, Audeze brings a serious amount of technical expertise into a space that needs fast-paced evolution. The simplest way to understand gaming headsets is with a simple rule: You get what you pay for. The Audeze Penrose Wireless Gaming Headset is pricey but boy oh boy is the extra cost worth it.Īudeze is the latest headphones company to get in on the gaming trend.
