can someone confirm that Mobius always defaults to 100% volume when powered on?
Only when you first plug it into a Windows PC or MacOS machine AFAIK.

Anyway, when hooking these up to a phone/tablet with Micro B USB, is it required to use an OTG cable, or can you use a regular USB-C to Micro B or even a regular USB-A to Micro B adapter? I'm not completely familiar with the differences between OTG and non-OTG cables, but is the primary difference that a non-OTG cable can't power/charge the connected device?
Thank God, was afraid i have to tone it down constantly.Only when you first plug it into a Windows PC or MacOS machine AFAIK.
Kinda dissapointed that a "dumb" headphone will still be better than Mobius
For Android devices, I think of OTG as letting the device "host" a USB device. I don't believe you can just plug the Mobius because the Android device usually connects to another host (your laptop/desktop).

Would love to see the head tracking feature implemented as an external device to use with other cans. Imagine that tech on an HD 800!
Very quick question for those of you who backed the campaign. Now that you have them in hand and have had a chance to use them would you have paid $400 for them ? Do you think that they fit the top spot in the $400 range ?
So many mixed opinions here and I see a lot more fault being addressed than praise. I am an Audeze fan so perhaps I will like them either way but I ordered mine from Audeze in June for $399 and since they won’t be shipping mine any time soon I can cancel my order and just walk away.

So do any of you truly enjoy Mobius or you feel it's underwhelming/overpriced/not what you expected?
Current impressions feel very mixed. I'm starting to feel that it's not the best way to enter the planar realm. Yet I still hope I will be pleasantly surprised by them.
non-OTG cable with the Mobius, my Android phone would think the Mobius is it's host
I only have a few hours of listening but so far I absolutely love my Mobius. I'm more of a music listener than a gamer. The detail presented be the Mobius is amazing. I'm hearing things that I have only heard on the my HD-800, T1 or Layla. Here are a few initial takeaways from my listening so far:
- No hiss
- Volume capacity seems to be fine. The Mobius can quite easily drive into the painful zone. In USB mode you can adjust the volume on the Mobius and on the PC
- I haven't experienced the harshness or large treble forward some have reported. But the treble is a bit forward
- I noticed that the base is not as deep or as visceral as on my HD-800 or T1. Tested using Nero - United We Stand to which most HPs either miss the bass drums & timpani entirely or they turn them into mush. The Mobius presents them but politely so
- 3D mode has a more "in your face" presentation with 3D off being a more traditional presentation with a larger sound stage. 3D mode sort off molds the music around your head which when listening to classical is simply weird
- The better the recording (newer, better engineered, higher quality) the more the Mobius shines. This is true for most HPs but some can be a bit more forgiving. My Layla IEMs are the same way. You give them mediocre '70s rock recordings and they just butcher them
- For music listening I turn 3D off
- I have run them using BT LDAC off my Sony ZX2 and they sounded great
