So with the Nintendo Switch you need a USB-C Adapter and that will only work with the Penrose's standard bluetooth and NOT the 2.4Ghz technology?
Which ultimately means there's going to be a LOT more input lag?

Even when docked? That seems like a bizarre design decision.

Am I hearing right that Windows system volume AND app volume sliders don't work? That's absolutely ridiculous.

Someone from reddit thread just pointed it out.

• Headphone volume adjustment is done by spinning the Headphone Volume Control wheel on the left earcup. Software based volume controls such as those in Windows or Mac OS will have no effect when connected over the 2.4gHz wireless adapter, since the computer has no direct connection to the headphones and only sees the dongle.

Well... i think that is a deal breaker...

I dont play the switch portability, just docked. hopefully i'm wrong. It's so complicated and frustrating trying to find a good audiophile wireless set of cans that utilize 2.4Ghz for both movies and games, it seems.

i'm gonna fall back on the eArc audio Receiver solution with by wired DT770's for now with the Switch if the Penrose can't whip out low 16ms latency again, with the switch using that adapter

This also answered my other issue.

i used it on my switch with a USB adapter and the ps5 dongle works.

This seems weird to me because im 99.9% sure my hyperX set adjusts windows volume with the headset wheel.

Many 2.4ghz headsets (all of them that I know of) adjust system volume with the volume wheel on the headset, weird that this one doesn't.

Just got around to testing the microphone on this headset.

Pros:
Sounds pretty good
Cons:
The compression artifacts in the audio are pretty atypical of a wireless microphone and can sound pretty weird, not robotic, not phone-ey, just unusual.

It picks up breath like crazy, it actually sounds virtually the same as my modmic wireless when its on the directional setting. I purposefully take it off that mode because that kind of microphone is not really good for a headset boom mic that could possibly be breathed on. It somehow picks up my breath as a big boomy, artifacty bass explosion even if I put the mic under my chin where it shouldn't pick up much breath.

But is it using the 2.4Ghz technology to get 16ms(which hasn't even been tested or conforimed yet) or is regular standard laggy blueooth.

I don’t get what you mean? If it’s connected with the usb dongle it is connected via the wireless.

I mean, I could deal with it if the volume on the headset is it’s own thing and I can just leave that at 80% and then control volume with windows volume mixer, but if you’re telling me that windows volume mixer will do nothing to the levels in the headset I just can’t see how that will work. I generally balance discord and other apps in there virtually every gaming session.

Yeah that's how I'm guessing it works too. Headset has its own level and then you have windows levels on top of that. And they are saying Windows cannot directly modify the volume of the headset you need the slider, but you can always change the levels of sound being sent to your headset within windows.

So far I'm preferring my existing Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. I'm strictly using them for PC gaming. Razer are more comfortable and seem to have similar sound quality. I don't have audiophile ears though. Penrose mic does sound better. I still need to do more testing.

Can someone who already have them confirm this? Does changing volume of separate program in Windows Volume Mixer actually change volume of program? Or does it stay the same? Tnx
