I just sent my penrose back to Audeze. I was getting popping sounds so audeze sent me new usb dongle. That did not fix the issue so audeze wanted me to send them in to see if they are defective.

I noticed when I had the penrose connected to wifi and blutooth they would pop more frequently. On wifi only the popping/crackling sound would be a lot less. I don't understand how the range on these are so poor. Also I like the sound but the default sound without any EQ is way too harsh. The treble to my ears is earpiercing. I play a ton of shooters so guns going off is a painful sound with the penrose in FPS games with out changing the EQ. To my ears at least.

I found the highs a bit ear piercing as well when I had them. I was using the Dolby app on Xbox, I set it to the 'warm' EQ. That resolved the highs for me.

So it's not only me with this issue. I've settled with -10dB of EQ on the treble, when comparing them by ear to reference cans. That's a crazy amount of treble to EQ out and make them sound normal. Don't you think?

I use the warzone preset from audeze when I play FPS and it greatly tones down the piercing highs. I will try your preset when I get the headset back from audeze. I really want to find a good preset for Battlefield 2042. I am huge BF fan and that series has always had great audio. I hope the game takes advantage of the 3D audio tempest engine on PS5 also.

You should take a look at the Audeze Presets "Power Up your Music" for EQ, I'm a big fan of "Round and Muscular"

Firstly, 100% in agreement. This headset is bright!

I've heard differing things about the 4K frequency -- some reviewers mention a big dip at 4K, while others note a peak at 4K. I'm not quite sure what to think. Does anyone have any reliable measurements of a Penrose that shows what's happening at 4K?

Rtings.com has measurments of the penrose.

“Gently warm” in the music pack is also pretty decent for a variety of content. Not quite as deep as the regular warm preset.

That's a point in time from when around people were saying they could hear a certain signature.


That's the issue with electronic goods. They're also too easily changed

Any newfound advice on disconnections? I can barely stand using this headset lately, it has suddenly started reconnecting every couple minutes.

Bought in November 2020 and it's just shot.

Contact audeze they sent me a new USB dongle but I still ended up sending in the headset for service. Audeze really needs to address the conection issue of this headset .

I liked the 'Classical and Accoustic Space' preset the best(The default EQ was harsh in comparison), but ultimately the Penrose just couldn't match up to my DT770's(250ohm). Sticking with wired, until something better comes out in the future in the world of wireless 2.4ghz

Anyone got the Bluetooth device switching to work? I've got the Penrose and double-clicking the volume wheel doesn't switch to the previously connected Bluetooth host device.

 

[Fegefeuer]

Sent mine back too because of pops and crackles and disconnects still appearing after a new stick.

Let's see if the replacement fixes these issues.

Let us know, I'm assuming it's all home dependent and which devices they have that interfere. But if you're gets fixed I definitly have one to send in as well

 

[Tyler fr]

Well this is the last day for a refund on amz for my 2nd penrose.
It is better than the first , but crackles and disconnection are still a a thing.
I’m lost with this headset. I like it, but…

 

[Fegefeuer]

Got zero 2,4ghz devices nearby or active. I mean crackles and disconnects could also happen sitting next to the stick, just less frequent.

In the meanwhile I got myself a 3m XLR headphone extension and use the optical out of the G6 to my DAC/AMP and to the HEK. Quality wise quite superior of course but I still want to have an easy wireless solution with mic and not run cables around.
