'I just got a message from the Audeze team

Yes. For customers in the US, who directly ordered from us, we have started shipping. In the next week we will start shipping to our UK distributor who will send them to customers ordered through them'

https://www.reddit.com/r/Gaming_Hea.../audeze_penrose_a_lowlatency_wireless_planar/

Would seem UK (and probably overseas orders in general) are being dealt with after the direct orders (understandable give the firmware upgrade and testing process I guess).

Provided this date doesn't slip further, I'm thinking it will be at least the week commencing the 30th November before they start shipping from the UK retailers and likely early December before they are in our hands.

Ah cool, thanks for this!

Basically confirms December then for me, the late November dream is dead. Whenever Audeze has said 'within the next week' it's been more like 2 whole weeks from that point.

Penrose X fellows can expect their headsets in 2021 at this point

I've never seen this happen with a set of headphones. Good lord.

Headphones are substantially less complicated than a wireless headset.

I don't think I've ever even once seen any consumer electronics made by not-a-tech-giant meet a preorder date, or anywhere close to it. Haven't preorders been around long enough now for everyone to just kind of understand they're all empty promises?

I've pre-ordered plenty of electronics. Consoles are far more complicated than a headset with a mic attached. I got my XBX early.

Microsoft can spot an extra few million to expedite things in China. If someone who isn't worth 13 figures gets delayed (and they always will) they can't throw Microsoft money at it to make it go away.

This just means the ps version right? They haven’t had certification on the Xbox one yet.

I have a tracking number showing delivery by this Thursday -- unfortunately, I am out of town for at least a couple of weeks which is why I contacted them last week twice to ask them to change the shipping address to where I'm at now, but alas although they claimed to have this morning, I still see the tracking going back home to Texas so I'm hoping they will extend my return window in case anything's amiss as I won't be home until November 29 at the earliest.

Looking forward to them in any case -- I already sold my Mobius last week in anticipation.

EDIT: Woohoo, they updated it -- getting them in Colorado looks like this week.

Yea - I'd assumed this was just the PS version.

Really hope we see some reviews over the coming few days now.

What timing, my Steelseries Arctis 7 just up and died on me yesterday and I find these are just finally coming to fruition.

I wonder what the odds of functionality on Linux are?

We dont plan to make AudezeHQ for Linux, but basic functionality works.

 

[crzyricn]

They updated the Audeze HQ app adding support for the Penrose. Mine come in tomorrow instead of the expected Thursday. Hope everyone else gets theirs soon!

They're waiting on certification, not manufacturing.

I ordered my Penrose I’m pretty sure the first hour it was available. Still no shipping confirmation yet for me in NY. Sad face.

That's all I need! The other wireless headset options I was looking at also only offered basic functionality on Linux, so it's a no-brainer to get the planar sound I'm fond of as long as it works. Thanks for giving it a test, always feel shaky buying newly released stuff when it might only work for me when I'm on my Windows drive.

case by case...I did plenty of pre-orders as well and none got here on the first promised date. BTW, my PS5 pre-order has NO promise date at all. can be tomorrow or NYE. Other Case was a the new Mario for Switch, from the so loved Amazon, made a pre-order to get on the release date and got here 1 month after the release.

Let's just stop this discussion about promise dates and pointing how bad Audeze is and focus on what is really important at this point. It a general problem, that's why is pre-order.

This is Microsofts doing too they use third-party companies to do their certification hence the delay on Xbox version.
