    Audeze Penrose X and Penrose

    Being able to rename the presets on each device, while not ideal, would be better than not being able to rename them at all. Apple users only get to use 1 device in the first place. At the moment, if I want to remember what I have assigned to preset 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, the only option is to put...

    Audeze Penrose X and Penrose

    Given the current situation where one function is easy to use and the second function is so poorly implemented, a conversation about prioritizing would seem important. Maybe all this time it's been the wrong conversation. We wouldn't be asking Audeze to swap the function if it worked well, or if...

    Audeze Penrose X and Penrose

    Thanks for the explanation about the firmware, and thanks for being here to hear me out. I've really tried to make the press-then-turn or the turn-while-pressing method work. I plug the headphones into my mac and watch the dials in AudezeHQ move as I practice turning the dial on the headphones...

    Audeze Penrose X and Penrose

    As stated by Audeze previously, the two Penrose models may not continue to have the same firmware, because Audeze may update them eventually to work better with the device they were marketed for. Way back when the headphones were first released, many users asked "why not just buy the X version...

    Call me weird, but I thought I was buying a headset for gaming on an Xbox. Maybe it was the lime green accents.

    YES, I agree the game/chat mix should be primary. It's basically broken at this point. I frequently need to change the game/chat mix in warzone. It's hard to do and always messes with the mic gain, which I never need to change.

    You can use any set of headphones with a Modmic Uni and a y-adapter plugged directly into the controller. I sometimes use the HiFiMan Sundara or the HD6XX. The Penrose will sound better than this setup, because the amp in the xbox controller isn't really up to making wired headphones sound...

    It does have a more spacious feel. Object placement is better. It’s easier to here where enemies are in warzone, even whether they’re above or below.

    I believe the dts:x has a 14 day trial. Playing Warzone, I use the generic headphones/spacious DTS:X setting along with the Audeze footstep preset

    100% agree. The headphones I was sold last summer included iOS compatibility, which included the ability to adjust EQ, sidetone, and chat mix via the Audeze HQ app. It was on their site and in their press release. The fact that this feature was cut because of cost after users had already paid...

    Audeze Penrose X and Penrose

    When I ordered the Penrose X last summer I already had the Audeze HQ app installed on my iPhone. I was excited to use the iOS app to control the features on the headphones while I was playing games on the xbox. Feel free to google all the news articles from last summer. This is from one of many...

    This is how remember it too.When I ordered the headphones last summer, the marketing said the audeze iOS app would work in the same ways the Android app now works, changing presets, toggling mic monitoring, updating firmware, etc. After the headphones showed up in December, I waited for the iOS...

    The headphones do not connect to the Audeze IOS app. Just because they have bluetooth and you can stream music to them doesn't make them iOS compatible. Audeze themselves have said the headphones are not iOS comapatable, but they never update their marketing materials.

    The app is iOS compatible. It works fine with other Audeze products like the cipher cable.
