The part was also written up earlier in the thread. I was simply copying the idea.

3D printed usually means they designed it (using software like AutoCAD or similar) and then printed it using a 3D printer. If someone is hosting the design file online, you can usually download it and have places like UPS Store or other 3rd party locations to print it out for you.
We shipped Penrose PS units to our Polish distributor in early December (12/4). The Xbox shipments went in the first week of January. We have more scheduled to ship later this week, but these are for more recent orders. We have asked our distributor to reach out to the shop and get more details.

Anyone know how similar in build the Penrose are to the mobius? Did they reinforce the headband where it splits for the earcups? I've seen some posts the mobius like to crack there or the earcups break off like the arctis ones do.
Thank you! Please provide a follow-up once you get some info from the distributor.
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 ?

- What kind of WiFi setup do you have?
- Is the silver part oriented towards your mouth or away on the mic?
i only have a router and i turned it off while testing. I even turned off my microwaves
About the microphone i tried every position possible, no change.

have you turned off Discord’s echo cancellation setting? Several people have reported the Penrose microphone sounding better with that turned off.i only have a router and i turned it off while testing. I even turned off my microwaves

Yes. Teamspeak sound is also very bad, and i have played with all the options unfortunately.
There's definitely a problem with this microphone depending on the software used... waiting for an update...
My mic is crackling in wireless, aux and bluetooth... I’m assuming that the mic is faulty and firmware wont fix the issue : (
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement USB stick from? Mine has been snapped so completely unusable.
Email support@audeze.com and we should be able to help you with it
