I've had the LCD-R packed up for about a year or so now...just unpacked it and plugged it in for a change of pace...I forgot how good these are...even out of the packaged amp. (mine haven't touched any other amps). I was thinking about selling...but listening to a few songs...decided to keep...

Oooof Good for them. Sony is a pretty ruthless company based on everything we learned in the ABK trial. I won’t be supporting them due to the way they handle competition. GGs and good luck.

When did this come out? How do I know what one I have?

There is a plus version?

It’s an amazing amp. Took over a year to get it, I’ll never sell it. I hope they find a distributor that is willing to keep it in stock and make it available to the community. People deserve to hear this thing.

You prefer the Arya Stealth to the V2?

Thanks for the info. I gave that feedback to your team when I returned the Penrose. I hope that it got adjusted because it impacts how loud you talk Whitt the headphones on. I’ll move the rest of my convo to the new thread 👍

I think the views on mic quality depend on what headset you’re coming from. Most people don’t pay attention to what they sound like. If someone has been talking to friends on a crappy mic for years and switches to a slightly better crappy mic…it’s all relative. I also think the Penrose mic...

It doesn’t have to be downgraded via wireless…at least on Xbox. They could have used the Xbox wireless protocol that for some reason doesn’t suffer from poor wireless mic quality. Also…none of my other mid-tier wireless gaming headset have such compressed sounding mic audio. For the games I...

Doesn’t seem to be keeping up with the competition as far as I can tell. Sure there is more battery life but Steel Series TOTL comes with two batteries so there is never downtime. Just lots of features happening with that headset. No way of knowing if the mic is any better but it doesn’t look...

Pay wall :(

Any reviewers get these in-hand yet?

Yeah…that didn’t do the trick. Maybe it’s my computer. It’s an older Surface Pro 4.

I’m sure you could get another one if you wanted.
