How do you remove the pads on these? I know the plastic ring has to come off with them.

I don't want to just yank on them and break something if it's a twist or something, and there are no instructions or videos online.

You should see little" tabs" on the plastic rings. Get your nails under there and pry out. If you get a few fingers worth spread out a little more from the tabs they pop right off

Dekoni had suede ones. Looks like anything that will fit the mobius will fit the penrose. Plus Dekoni lists the inside and outside dimensions so could take that to other 3rd party and see if they have an oval that will fit

Thanks very helpful. Have you ever used the Suede type? I have larger ears/head, and dislike the leatherette feel. I guess when they arrive tomorrow I will have a better understanding of what modifications I must make. I appreciate the help!

Just picked these up as a potential replacement of my Mobius headphones - mostly looking for the wireless feature.
Playing around a bit but so far I'm mostly confused. Uninstalled Audeze HQ since it only showed the Mobius, downloaded latest version and installed. Now it shows Penrose menus and I also discovered the Mobius stuff through the Profile tab. So far so good.
Now to the confusing stuff:

1) The headphones do not respond to changing volume in Windows at all, they only respond to lowering volume in e.g. Youtube or the volume wheel on the left earcup. Basically if I mute the sound in Windows, I still have the same volume in the headphones. In the Sound settings, "Speakers (Audeze Penrose)" is selected.
2) The headphones do not respond to any changes in the Penrose mix amp unless connected through USB, but I suppose that may be how it's meant to be. That said, with the USB connected and when I move any of the equializer sliders up, the overall volume decreases??? What's that about? Lowering the sliders seems to actually lower the actual frequency.

225 sides of forum is a bit too much, so I apologize if all of this has already been discussed.
For info the first thing I did was upgrade the firmware to the latest version, 0.1.5.

Also, should one utilize the "Spatial sound" setting in Windows? If yes, any recommended settings for gaming use mostly? Or stay clear of it altogether?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

  1. Expected behavior at this time. Audeze stated they were looking to add this feature and have requested it for their wireless SDK dev.
  2. Also expected behavior. Currently, you can only pass on changes and updates to the Penrose via direct USB connection. This is also a feature they have since requested for their wireless SDK dev. Same with the volume decreasing when adjusting EQ bands.
  3. That is up to you. MLE uses Wave NX and seems to enjoy it. Dolby Atmos for Headphones seem to work alright for games that support it. I personally prefer keeping that stuff turned off and using stereo.

Wow really? Guess I should have read up before ordering...
Sounds to me like a non-finished product. May return them straight away and deal with the USB cable on the Mobius then.

DTS X for headphones & Dolby atmos for headphones are both on sale right now and work across Xbox and PC, Fyi. I personally prefer the DTS option.

Hi Mark !

I'd like to know if you're using any spatialization software (Dolby, Waves NX, Sonic, ...) on your PC in order such a good result ?

Thank you for your feedback! :thumbsup:

Hi David,
No, I'm not using any spacialisation software. I mostly play Counterstrike: Global Offensive and have the in-game audio set to Stereo Headphones.

One thing I forgot to mention was comfort.
I don't find the clamp to be too tight. It has actually loosened off quite a bit over the course of the week.
The headband is a different story. These have the same flaw as my Focal Listen Pro headphones in that the (thin) padding sits in between the plastic, so on extended sessions you end up with the plastic painfully resting on your head.
It's such a bonkers design decision when you have decades worth of headphones which deliberately don't do that!
