Yes Play/Pause/Next/Previous will be accessible via buttons.

Yes. Please refer to Sankar's post here.

Thank you! Phenomenal, probably the coolest thing in the wireless headphone space right now and it's coming from a relatively tiny company.

If I end up buying this, it will be my first planar magnetic headphone. Has anyone compared the sound to the HE-400i yet? (That's my main planar frame of reference.)

With Oculus or Vive, you can turn off the Mobius 3D processing. You can connect to the PC using analog, USB or bluetooth.

You can listen wirelessly with processing off.

Thanks guys! This means I can have a completely wireless VR experience with no compromises as well. Most VR games already do 3D audio and so you can get away with 2.1 stereo over the Bluetooth no problem.

No, no, I mean people who aren't comfortable using the boom mic in public have tons of options for other microphones to connect, e.g. the lav mics which can be attached to your collar in an inconspicuous manner with the cable running below your shirt, but which will probably work better than any additional, built-in mic you could add.

the "idea" IS to use it OTG as a music HPs connected to mobile phone via BT and if occasional call comes you do not have to fiddle with any cables - build in mic would be ideal - micro mic with 3.5mm is OK but any cables or boom mic is just over the top
it is for occasional usage as a means to communicate overt the phone not as a main way of doing it.
one again just to be extra clear - no cables

The whole point of a built in back up mic, would be simply to talk on the phone on the fly.... smartphone speakerphone mic quality is all were taking about. It's not at all a deal breaker. But I can see the usefulness.

Universally, the folks at the other end of the call stated that I sounded like I was in a tunnel and muffled.

well it would be a bonus in my book... they would end conversation quickly and i would have more time to listen to music... I am more than OK with that

While I don't have the 400I, I have the original HE-400 rev. 2, and I MUCH prefer the tonal balance of the Mobius. I wouldn't even consider the HE400 now after listening to the Mobius. And that's coming from someone who is on the 3rd/4th pair of HE-400 headphones.

The ONLY thing that'd I want that the Mobius lacks is a pair of ear pads that have some velour/cloth material where it rests on your face. Like the Hifiman Focus pads, but without altering the sound. Literally the same pads the Mobius has now, just with a stitched on layer of cloth, on the very top. That's just personal gripe since I don't oersonally ever own a pair of headphones that aren't velouur or similar material.

Regarding mic, I really wish Audeze went with retractable boom mic on Mobius. I'll be using Mobius at work with 80% music and 20% skype calls usage. While it's better than my current setup, having boom mic in my face when I'm just listening to music is incredibly distracting, and while I could just plug/unplug microphone as needed, that's also annoying.

I really like how SteelSeries Arctis 7 handled the mic, that IMO is the perfect solution. Pull out mic when needed, retract it when you don't. I really wish Mobius was built like that and I'll be really pissed if Mobius V2 will have retractable mic.

I like that it's removable since it means I can easily replace it if it breaks... I've had too many gaming headsets ruined because the mic died on them.

 

[archagon]

I bet something like this (or smaller) would be perfect for that use case.

That looks perfect for my needs
just the warning is scary...

True, but constant plugging and unplugging of the microphone could break the microphone jack too. Ether way it's a toss up and that's the case I'd prefer built in retractable mic.

 

[RamSpencer]

It could eventually. I make a habit to do it carefully. I've never had a headphone fail yet. (knock on wood)

It did not, however, do a convincing job of frontal localization, which is incredibly hard to accomplish.

Did Auduze give any feedback to this point and whether it will be refined/improved in production units?
