Fair question. Tbh tho, it's not like one just decides to have a piece of software completed. For a new platform. That stuff is hard, and it's a small team with lots of open ends at their hands. It takes time, and one wants to get it right when people are about to flash the firmware on their...

If they don't have to to pay Microsoft licensing fees for every non-X sold, their margin may be larger? 🤔 Considering how emotionally people have been discussing the color scheme, that might be worth it? 🤷‍♂️

👆👍 I generally agree with this. In this specific case it seemed to me that was the whole point of the preorder discount: one gets the headset for a bit less in exchange for handing the money over early and to some extend bearing the risk of delays. Agreed, for some this "gamble" may not have...

Nice find! There's also a wireless sample in the playlist at Listen to Penrose Wireless Sample by Audeze on #SoundCloud

You are probably right. These certainly aren't meant to be musical BT headphones first. But I can't completely shake the feeling that they had the potential to be that as well ;) I don't know about the XM4s, but I had a pair of XM3s, and those _certainly_ couldn't do double duty as a headset for...

I'm in the same boat. I want a good sounding mic for those hour long conference calls, I want it to be wireless so I can sneak away from the screen to grab a fresh coffee from time to time, I need it to be comfortable enough to be worn for multiple hours (no buds sticking in my ears) and I...

Heh, I don't think I got the time-to-market argument until I heard of the Logitech Pro X Wireless 🙊😽

So, are those the reason the Penrose X officially isn't supported on/recommended for MacOS? I'm wondering if either one of the two might work out of the box on Linux :smile_cat:

D'oh, I actually assumed decoding would be done in software :sweat_smile::face_palm: Thanks for setting that straight. I agree with the 2.4GHz being more suitable than BT argument when connected to a PC/console. However, I find myself desperately wanting a wireless headset that can double as a...

@KMann Thx for all the insights! I'm a bit surprised at the omission of any high-bitrate BT codecs. I'd expect them to go great with the fancy planar drivers when playing music over my phone :) I would assume it's a licensing issue, since the technical capability has been demonstrated in the...
