Which earpads would you suggest for Penrose? I'm in Europe, so no USA stores.
Will they affect sound negatively?

Wicked Cushions can be attached to Penrose with a little ingenuity. I did not know.

@Audeze When do you think we will get an update to fix the app reporting the wrong remaining battery, you have to disconnect and reconnect to get the right value before it trails off again.

Because it adds $17 shipping + customs, and we do have places like Amazon.de with free shipping and no customs.

Wicked Cushions is in Amazon.de, but for some reason they don't ship to Finland. This is very rare to see, and I don't know why. If seller was Amazon they would.

It was intended to address this in a future update (but I have no info on this at the moment, as the software team is located overseas, and are currently dealing with real world issues which is delaying such things). In the meantime you should be able to get a correct readout of your Penrose battery level by disabling charging.

To disable charging, please hold down the Headphone Volume Wheel until a voice cue confirms "Charging Off." HQ will then read battery level and re-enable charging.

To manually enable charging again, simply restart the headphone.

FYI: HQ reads battery level when first connected, and then every five minutes thereafter. Each time it reads battery level, it will re-enable charging.

Does anyone use their Penrose with a Android mobile phone? I've found that since my phone has updated to Android 12 I don't get any audio over BT anymore. I can still hear the ring tone when a call is coming in but once I answer I can't hear the other person. Also I can't hear music from any apps anymore.

Tried re-pairing and clearing the Google playstore data but just can't get them to work anymore.

I really wish that for their next headset Audeze would partner with someone like Steelseries. While they are making great-sounding headphones developing modern headset require a lot of other expertise, from firmware/software to wireless connectivity to UI/UX.

I bought those to replace my Penrose - will miss the audio quality (although the SS are far, far better then expected), but for comfort, battery and range (which are all important in my daily usage) the SS are leagues ahead.

I was thinking of the same, my issue with the Audeze is purely comfort (Ive changed the pads, loosen the clamp, and added pads to the headband) and they are not usable for me for more than 2hrs.

In where I live purchase are final and we do not have any returns policy unless it is defective.

Maybe a dumb question. Does the screen on the base stay on or does it turn off when the headset is off?

Appears to stay on as long as it has power from the connected device/PC etc (unless I've missed a setting somewhere!)

wired or wireless? have you used it? ps5? what about the sound? any high pitch like penrose? volume wheel should be amazing not like penrose
The Techne is going to upload the wireless version video today and next video vs penrose i think

Wireless, used on laptop, PS5 and Xbox. No high pitch sound, but obviously some background noise when Transparency Mode on, pretty much silent without it on. Volume stages much smaller so adjustments easier - can also use the volume control on the base station for subtle changes when it's close enough.

Don't want to derail this thread too much but overall - they tick so many boxes. Audio quality (especially for music) would still go to the Penrose though but the SS are far better than I thought and I actually find directional cues better on them.
