is there a way to use mobius with ios in hi-res mode wired via a usb c - lightning adapter?

Yes you need a cck adapter and it will work perfectly.

they didnt for me but the arms on my glasses are fairly thin and I dont have that problem with any pads.

I'll try it out later. Theoretically the gap between the arm and my head, maybe 4mm, would be enough to break the seal on the outside, but it does get closer to my head as they go over my ears.

OK. tnx

OK. tnx

I should probably mention, I'd meant to post this a couple of days ago, but somehow didn't press the post reply button. The only thing I have in mind to test is with and without my glasses. I don't currently have any other pads to try.

The arm in front of my ears is 2mm, in the back at the end its wider and flares out a bit and is probably 4-6mm. The headphones that I have that need a seal dont have an issue though, Stax SR-207, MrSpeakers Alpha Prime, and the Mobius

... the head tracking is a little "weird" to use with just Stereo input. Mine seems to move the sound when I turn my head, so If I set centre, then move left or right and the sound will slowly move to where my head is at after a few seconds which is not where the screen is anymore, as if it's moving centre with my head movements. It just feels weird.

You can use the "3-D Auto"-mode instead of "3-D Manual".
"Auto" only adjusts the center within a few seconds after very big turns, > about 90°, then keeps it locked.
"Manual" seems to have some drift compensation within a range close to the center, it permanently adjusts the center position.
This can be watched in the AUDEZE HQ app too, which I suggest to do to understand how Mobius works.

How do you perceive the 3-D effect? Is the virtual sound source nailed to one position in the room if you turn your head (except for your mentioned problem)?
For me it over-does the movement, when I turn my head a bit to the left the virtual sound source seems to turn to the right and vice versa.

No. The only way is to use the CCK (camera adapter) and plug the Mobius using USB. This will work in HiRes

Tape it or use a felt pen to darken it.

Just got the new earpads, they def make a better seal than the old ones and are much cooler to wear. Only thing that I've noticed is that the L earpiece seems like it leaks more sound that with the old pads. Anyone else notice this? Maybe I just need to take the new pad off and put it back on to make sure it's seated properly.

The velour pads didn't sound good at all. it's a very large difference in sound quality that I'm suprised the user didn't notice... using the angled pleather pads, however, and ensuring a good seal is fantastic.

That's not good to hear and a shame. I was hoping they might be a nicer then stock alternative until the gel ones are in the UK.

I will give that a try later.. It seemed like it must be wrong somehow as it shouldn't move i would have thought. If i'm facing the way i have set the centre, then looking left and right work fine, as you say so long as i don't go past 90 degrees in either direction. I haven't noticed any change in the direction in the way that you mention, it stays in the direction i would expect until i move in a big angle.

Has anyone does a side by side comparison between The Mobius and the Sony WH1000XM3?

the gel ones aren't velour either... xD The Brainwavz Angled Pleather, however, work really well, and I like them better than the new gel pads. Concerning the velours its just that the mobius needs a seal. See the link in the post you quoted theres some pictures with the angled pleather pads and what I did to ensure a seal, because just sliding them on required pushing the cans against my head to make a seal, even with the pleather.
