@MacedonianHero What do you feel regarding listening to music with this RoomFeel / Headtracking thing? Would you say it sounds natural after your ears gets used to it or do you think it affects it negatively too much or?

When you get used it it (about 5 - 10 minutes), it comes off very natural to my ears and it then becomes a bit hard to go back to "traditional" headphones.

Nice! I always enjoyed surround sound / out of head experience also when listening to music but it depends on the implementation too of course as most ruins the sound quality too much. Can't wait to try it for myself too. I listen to a custom dolby headphone config I've tweaked for foobar (contains counter-EQing to the dolby headphone applied frequency response curve) every once in a while, some examples below.

That's interesting, and bodes well for the quality of specialization in Mobius. Would you say it sounds more like nearfield monitors, or a more like a traditional speaker setup (distance-wise).

See, I worry about doing just that. If you get acclimated to a technology, you may as you notice start to get "hooked" and listening to music without feels less engaging. That is the power of our brains novelty seeking focus. For me it is risky so I'm afraid to impact the normal, in-aided audio playback experience. Likely I will try this and I'm pretty intrigued by the Mobius. It sounds like Audeze have really put some serious R&D effort into it. Respect.

Oh my oh my. I should have checked my personal email this past week!

Good, it doesn't seem I can change my Team color. That makes it easy.

Same thing happens if you listen to good speakers, then try to switch over to headphones! After a little while.... You adjust. Nothing to worry about! It's fine if you prefer the speakers in general... Good headphones don't just all of a sudden suck.

Well tonight I sat down with Halo 5 on my Xbox One S and simply put, these are the most impressive gaming headsets I've ever heard! The head tracking is quite familiar now and it is very natural when playing a FPS.

How did you have them connected to the xbox? I plan on using them some with my xbox. Did you simply have them connected via the headphone jack on the wireless controller?

The only compatible audio out with the Xbox is the aux jack. So if you plan to use head tracking, you can only do it in stereo instead of virtual surround. If a pair of speakers would be good enough for you, this should be similar. Still with stellar planar fidelity.

Tried them on both the PS4 and Xbox One S...worked flawlessly with both! Correct...just plug them into the wireless controller and you're good to go.

Mind sharing what settings you used with Xbox? And also what settings you were using on the Mobius? Appreciate it
