I have 2 questions:
1. Is the EQ carried over to Bluetooth? If I used the headset in 2.4Ghz with custom EQ and then I switch to Bluetooth (not simultaneous, just BT), will it have the same EQ or use the default one? I know I can test it, but I this will be in couple of days and I am eager to understand that
2. Fingers crossed, I have no issues so far in terms of software. However my pair is on 0.5 firmware. I read of people having issues after 0.12 update, like hissing or white noise. The only thing I miss is on-the-fly EQ change. What if I get issues after the firmware update, what shall I do? This question kinda relates to the first one

Yes the eq is carried over.

Thicker pads. That’ll help the breaking issue.

I haven't followed this thread for nearly 2 years since I bought a Penrose headphone for my son, it's worked great up until today.


Seems this is a common issue?

I've reached out to Audeze on this, I'll see how they would like to handle it...

That was the same place mine broke. Hopefully they sort you out with a replacement. In Australia we are pretty protected regarding warranty (even if they say 1 year, we can generally push for 2+ years if it is a quality product).

Interesting.

Yours seems to be different cause to the more usual break we've seen

I've highlighted where they more usually break due to that design issue with the sharp angle in the moulding.

Tempted to try these https://wickedcushions.com/products...TS1SMgapLp42EVFMW5A74wFpMp5WJbjgaAvNrEALw_wcB

Will make the headset look nicer with the black plastic ring and also would like the different material on the face of the pads. Biggest question though is how the sound will be impacted?

Good hands-on review of the new Wicked Cushions pads:

Good review - thanks - shame the sound is affected quite a bit - was hoping not to have to complicate things with another Eq in the app

Thanks for sharing this. The Beyer gaming headphone I had bought for my other son has a very solid metal yoke connecting the ear cups to the headband, hopefully Audeze will do something similar with their next gaming models..

The Aus local reseller has agreed to RMA my son's Penrose, and replace with a B-stock one, so all good on that front. Will see how long this one lasts as it seems it will be the last one we can get I guess

Don’t know where Adorama ships but perhaps they have the last of the stock of the PS4/PS5/PC/Mac sku for $169.

Wow. This is good news indeed. Hopefully true and is a good improvement.

Interesting

Anyone notice there's two designs...? this one seems to address the flaw in the hard angle / crease at that joint which on some has tended to break

 

[Tuscany]

That is interesting. Any idea since when is that?
I bought mine 2 months ago, which obviously does not relate to when they were produced, but I have the old design.

I've had my Penrose a couple months now. Won't turn on today. Totally dead. Any way to get these back up and running. I tried holding mic volume wheel, volume wheel and multifunction button to force reboot but I still have no power. Any thoughts?
