Hi
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I was in love with my Hyper-X Cloud Orbit S, ergo the Mobius without BT but i had to RMA it due to a faulty microphone. Waiting for Kingston to send me back a new product, i bought the Penrose, to use mainly with a PC, and maybe with a PS5 and a XSX later (if i can buy the Xbox adapter in a near future)
I ve been using it since 2 weeks and here are my pros and cons so far :
Pros :
-outstanding sound, but i already knew that, very close to the Cloud Orbit S sound, same drivers and all...
-no more cable
-no pops or cracks or anything, looks like i am with the lucky ones on this subject.
Cons :
-wireless range is 1/2 meters, not more for me
-Windows volume has no effect on headphone volume
-microphone is garbage, Discord or Teamspeak, same muffled, low quality sound as reported by my mates
For the wireless range, i tried everything, turning wifi off, every single usb port on my computer case, with or without usb extender, with or without a hub... best result is with an extender on the back of my case. But in any case, if i move more than 3/4 meters, i lose the signal. How is it possible ? Faulty usb adapter ?
For the microphone, should i open a case with Audeze ? I tried every position, it does not change the muffled/low quality thing. I have to use another mic to have a decent sound so i unplugged the Penrose one for now.
I will soon have my HX Cloud Orbit S back and i am really wondering what to do with the Penrose. I love the wireless, the sound, and if it was not for the wireless range and the microphone i would keep it over the wired one. Now i am hesitating. Could next firmwares update makes my mic and the range better ?
