So , Penrose is left behind?

It was left behind since it was release.

No. There's a new and better model. The Penrose is the Penrose. Long live the Maxwell

Yer so the customers with a broken Penrose still under warranty get left behind to deal with new Maxwell orders fantastic right!

I just want to get rid of rather odd "wireless And Bluetooth" sound during changing input.

If it's still under warranty they have to replace or refund you. That's what happened to me and I placed the order for Maxwell with the refund.

 

[korneenko]

Its ok for manufacture to make a new product. But can't say the same for leaving customers with little voice bugs in Penrose. I don't think i'm asking to much to fix "wireless AND bluetooth" annoying message, lol

 

[korneenko]

Also could AUDEZE share with us on what CODEC is Penrose based? Is 16 bit / 48kHz is best possible option for it even losing battery time?
Also USB audio wasn't planned at all?

I’m still getting disconnect/dropouts using the dongle even if it’s in the line of sight. Had hoped eventual firmware would fix this but no dice.

If I drop the dongle what would give me better quality audio? (1) just connecting the penrose to the PS5’s controller via 3.5mm or
(2)buying a Bluetooth dongle like the Creative BT-W4. I know the creative BT-W4 has aptx but from what I’ve read on this thread the penrose doesn’t support aptx or all these other fancy low latency Bluetooth standards

I'm still awaiting there reply,but the Maxwell does not have BT & game at the same time,it's not like the Penrose,so will go with the refund I think!

Have you tried using an USB extender? I been using one and it eliminates the dropouts during lengthy sessions at best and dramatically reduces the dropouts at worst.
(1 or 2 every few hours)

Yeah I have a USB extender, and still get the dropouts and annoying clicks/pops sounds every now and then

All orientations? (The aerial in the dongle makes an L in the flat plane).
If so, In that case Refund it then.

Can’t do refund, I’m an early adopter so have had this for a bit and past the warranty phase. Got a replacement dongle early on even from Audeze.

You think the orientation of the dongle makes a difference? It’s already in the line of sight, I’ll try angling it 90 degrees but that’s wild.

Otherwise what do people think of using the 3.5mm cable on the ps5 controller vs using a adptx Bluetooth adapter?

I have the Creative BT-W2 and BT-W3 adapters. Paired with a Fiio BTR3K headphone amp, I still get dropouts with those. Another BT solution I've tried is a long-range BT transmitter from Amazon, that has two external antennas. My chain is like this:

PS5 > Creative SXFI Amp > 3.5mm to BT Transmitter
BT receiver = Fiio BTR3K amp
Mic = Modmic Wireless

With that setup, I can walk 30-40ft away before it drops out completely, and I get much fewer pops and crackles than with the BT-W2 and BT-W3 adapters. This is with AptX-LL codec. I think the controller would work just as well.

You could also use a BT transmitter that accepts toslink, and run it from your display (if supported).
