Hey... So I just got mine. Question, is there a way to mute the mic... Not muted for others, but for the headphones? It is sending audio to the headphones and the manual doesn't mention anything about this. And no, in windows settings it isn't set up to listen.
Yes. There is a mute button on the side. You can use it to mute the microphone. The Side-tone is also off at low microphone gain settings.

Yes you can reduce the sidetone and effectively mute it. Use the microphone volume control. At about 50% mic volume sidetone is effectively muted. You can also mute the mic by using the mic mute switch or remove the boom mic.

Good to know!

Can others hear you clearly at 50% mic volume? I assume you can compensate by upping the transmit volume in your VOIP app/game.

Edit; I was wrong. volume is only barely audible when the mic is turned down enough to hide sidetone holy crap. just spent 2 hours messing around on discord just to get these things to work and my wife able to hear me. I grossly misjudged this haha @Audeze and @KMann these things need a "sidetone disable" function!

@Audeze would backer #5060 to the US have shipped yet? No tracking yet.

I don't think it's based on how early you backed. I'm 3xxx and someone else is 8xx and neither of us have received tracking or shipment notices either.

All US and other country shipments (except S. Korea and a few Military addresses in the USA) have been sent to the 3PL. The customs processing is quite complex and it goes from the factory to Hongkong and then it gets shipped. Everyone will receive the tracking number when the first set of customs is cleared and the units are submitted to the carrier. Depending upon the country, this is either DHL or partially DHL, where DHL uses a local last mile delivery. The actual shipping and transit time is quite short 3 to 5 days. But the multiple customs clearance process takes time and we do not have very accurate tracking on these. Our estimate is, most people should have tracking number early next week.

Anyone connect to a macbook and have it lock up the mac after a while playing music? Could be flaky 3D driver support on the Mac :)
Was just playing Spotify and the auto-3D mode sounds surprisingly good for making spotify sound more spacious (yes, I know, it's fake). Has significantly more base than Sennheiser 590's that are known to be bass light; bass doesn't go as low as I expected from other's reports. Vocals are more recessed than Shure 846 IEMs but I think the Shure vocals sound better. Turning your head and having it seem like speakers on a headphone is weird to me with music...still have to try it w/ gaming, etc.

Warning for folks connecting it up to the Mac for the first time...no idea why but the Mac decides to set volume to max initially...that hurt :frowning2:
I thought Mobius had it's own built in volume/amp, but it just controls the Mac's volume setting. Be sure to crank the volume down after telling the Mac to use the Mobius instead of the internal speakers.
I'll have to try it w/ my Windows machine in a bit.

Clamping force is tighter than I'd like (more than the Sennheiser 590 but not as crazy as the Monoprice 1060C). Weight is not bad (unlike the ridiculously heavy 1060C's that I returned)...heavier than the Sennheisers but not by much. Not as much treble as the 1060Cs but vocals definitely sound better (and more balanced) than the Sennheiser. Does make my ears warm because I prefer velour earpads though I can see why you need the tighter seal for bass.

No hiss that I can detect yet...will report back later if I do.

and for folks wondering about tracking #s. I got *zero* notices in my email and checked the spam folder. I didn't complain though so maybe that's why I got mine so quickly :wink:
Anyways, they are arriving...just be a bit patient. I'm in MA in the US if that matters (don't think it does).

p.s., carrying case is nice too. Thought it'd be a waste of space so I'm pleasantly surprised.
