fedex dropped off my penrose earlier and my first impressions while they charge is that the build quality is fairly solid. they don’t feel cheap at all and while the clamping force is somewhat tight as others have mentioned, they feel comfortable on my head even with glasses. looking forward to...

that’s a shame, i originally came across the penrose when looking into solutions for using discord while playing on a ps5. my headset is supposed to arrive today and i’m hoping it ends up working well enough for me. and to give another shipping data point for others, i pre-ordered the regular...

asking again as this thread has been moving quick; for those of you who’ve already received your penrose, have you noticed any degradation in the audio quality from the 2.4ghz wireless source when you mix in a secondary bluetooth source? thanks.

i pre-ordered mid october and received my shipping email a few minutes ago (tracking isn’t live yet though).

this is what i am curious about. i preordered early october so i expected to possibly not be in the first batch of units shipped, but based on their emails earlier this week i did expect to at least see some people receive a shipping notice. i am hoping at the very least they send an update...

sure seems that way. i was expecting another update email from audeze yesterday seeing as they’ve been sending one out on friday evening the past few weeks and was a bit surprised to not get one, especially as it’s now around the time they said they would be shipping. i’m still hoping they’ll...

Hey everyone, i've finally decided to get some real headphones to replace those crappy ones that come with an ipod The main use of the headphones will be with my iPhone, so i wont be able to use any amps or anything else, but i will occasionally use it with my computer. I listen to a whole...
