Poll: Audeze Mobius - Post-Fix White Noise/Hiss/Noise Floor - Do you hear it?
Just an update: I don't know if I have just become more and more tuned into the headphones' noise profile or if the noise level changes as they age, but by now, especially at home where it's quieter, but at work as well, I can now hear the noise pretty clearly, much more loudly than I remember...- Runo

Poll: Audeze Mobius - Post-Fix White Noise/Hiss/Noise Floor - Do you hear it?
Did you try it for yourself? If not, try to check out a pair and see (or rather hear) for yourself if it'd even be a problem for you. It's not a sharp, piercing hiss, so you might very well find it tolerable, and miss out on an otherwise awesome pair of cans if you don't.- Runo

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
I'd wait a little, this is something quite a few people have noticed, so Audeze might just fix it via a firmware update. Also, I don't think a new pair will do significantly better right now. As others have suggested, it might be because of the construction of the cups (buttons and dials, etc.)...- Runo

One other thing about the voice prompts I recently noticed was the the combination of "Power on"/"Power off" is not ideal—especially when not wearing the phones but having them sitting next to you, it's hard to distinguish the two. A better 'contrast' would be nice, like "Power up"/"Power down"...- Runo

I bought that one for exactly this purpose, and it certainly is a nice cable. Unfortunately, just like seemingly all the USB 3.x USB-C cables, it is quite stiff. Much stiffer than you'd think from its thickness. Think I better not bend this in a tighter than ~6" diameter/3" radius curve stiff...- Runo

Poll: Audeze Mobius - Post-Fix White Noise/Hiss/Noise Floor - Do you hear it?
Oh, no, I'm definitely not sending them in to Audeze for service! I don't really listen to them without anything playing all that often :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:, so it really doesn't bother me. It's like how you can clearly see the film grain or slight noise on a single frame of a movie...- Runo

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
The only other pair of pads I have available are a pair of discarded pads from my other phones from when I put new ones on those. I might try with them some time, but I don't think I'll spend as much as the brainwavz and similar cost just for testing out if they might work with the Mobius. For...- Runo

Poll: Audeze Mobius - Post-Fix White Noise/Hiss/Noise Floor - Do you hear it?
In my mid thirties. I haven't measured my hearing in a few years, but in my mid/late twenties I could still hear above 20kHz, and I've neither been to loud rock concerts since nor do I work in noisy environments, so it should still be pretty good. And like I said, I do hear it, it's just that...- Runo

I do a little, it does clamp more than other phones I have, and I'd say after a few hours, I do start to feel it. What I find much more problematic tho—for me personally!—is that it seals so well I have pressure on my ears everytime I accidentally bump the cups (especially the left one) or they...- Runo

Poll: Audeze Mobius - Post-Fix White Noise/Hiss/Noise Floor - Do you hear it?
Yes, I do hear a noise floor as long as nothing's playing. But no, it doesn't bother me; it's quite quiet, and has a pleasant frequency profile, so for me it vanishes as soon as there's anything else playing, especially if I don't actively focus on it. Maybe I can get mine to you sometime. I...- Runo

If you find one, please let me know! I've been searching for good quality, flexible USB-C->USB-A cables for a while now, preferably with silicone cabling or something like that. But no luck yet. What? Why? OTOH, I didn't use them a lot yet either, they insulate too well to understand my...- Runo

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
So, I guess there'll probably be tons more replies/reviews even now, or in the next few days, but I wanted to to add my first impressions as well, now that I listened to them for a couple hours: First of all, I don’t get how people call them bass-light. I listened e.g. to Dolby’s “Amaze”...- Runo

Audeze Mobius Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Same, mine says it will be delivered tomorrow. Let's see, I expected to have to pay import taxes and stuff, so I don't know if they're really going to simply deliver it—I'm gonna be at work at the time.- Runo
