Ok so I've had my Mobius since last Thursday, so roughly 5/6 days.
This is my first actual planar headphones and I have to say that the sound is absolutely amazing. I set the ambience at about 70 when I'm listening to music, about 60 for movies and 42 for when I'm playing games. I primarily use the USB connection since my pc doesn't have bluetooth and I haven't gotten my y cable splitter yet for the headphone/mic jack. 7.1 mode is what I have mine on since I love the headtracking and it's what primarily made me want to back this project thought I was a bit skeptical. (Especially after a certain kickstarter fiasco, which im sure a decent number of us came from).
I can actually hear the difference in the EQ presets. The music definitely has more bass to it in comparison to the default preset. I never use flat because honestly it just sounds kinda of dead to me, which makes sense haha. The ballistics is absolutely ridiculous: grenades, gun fire and the like felt very real. I have tested it out in COD Blackout for the open Beta, as well as PUBG, Fornite and Destiny 2. In comparison with my Corsair Void, it has a huge difference in how it sounds. I haven't had much time to test out the footsteps because I honestly think that the ballistics setting is much more useful when playing the games I have stated above. as for RPG I use it when playing MH on pc and my god I never knew how much sound I was missing. Granted it isn't fun when a monster roars and it kills your ears and elevates your frustration because it ruined your combo but it is without a doubt great.
Some things I noticed with the Audeze desktop app, i know it's in beta still (or at least I think it is), but I feel like I do not have much to do in it and i feel as if the battery portion for it is random. Just a few minutes ago before writing this it said 24% then all of a sudden it's back at 90%. There are even some instances where it doesn't move at all. For example yesterday it was stuck at 94% and I had turned off the charging. When I game I game for about 2-4 hours a day so I highly doubt the battery didn't move a single percent.
The next downside, which I believe is the biggest problem with is the microphone. I use discord and my friends say that I sounds very low and muddy. I have the settings set to what Audeze had specified such as sensitivity to -87 and noise suppression/ echo cancellation off but they all have me at 200% and can still not hear me clearly I even have my mic to 100% on the Mobius itself. I checked out my system settings and the mic is at 100% and the bar barely moves to 1 green bar in sound. I have recorded my voice with the default voice recorder in windows and it does sound low. I tested it on my phone as well as a suggestion from someone in this thread via bluetooth and it sounded perfect, significantly louder than when im connected via usb on my pc. I'm going to checkout APO EQ and Peace tomorrow to see if that changes anything. So i do believe it does have to do something specifically with windows.
For those who are going to ask, no I do not have a hiss problem. There's very very low noise when nothing is playing but it isn't noticeable unless you're really listening for it so if it was a concern for you then don't worry.
