Model: 205-XB-1122-01
(Reviewed on Xbox Series X) I preface this by saying that I love quality audio; I’ve owned fancy THX-certified speaker systems for PC gaming and a variety of headsets, including brands such as Astro, Turtle Beach, and Sennheiser. I have never owned true “audiophile grade” headphones before. Therefore, the sound from these blows me away. Even coming from my Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME headset I’ve been using for almost a decade, there’s little comparison to the richness and detail of the sound I’m getting from the Penrose X, particularly with Dolby Atmos enabled (for the small fee through the Xbox digital storefront). Performance: With Atmos enabled (or the 3D positional audio format of your choice), you should not struggle to locate distinct sounds all around you. I tested this in Gears 5, Doom Eternal, and Battlefield V. Audio is detailed and explosions/gunfire boom with an impressive amount of bass for a pair of headphones. Mid and high range don’t get swamped and I can’t handle turning the volume up all the way...plenty of power, here. I also tested them out with the Bluetooth connection to my iPhone X to listen to music; again, I was amazed by the sound quality. I heard layers of songs I’d never heard before, songs I’ve listened to hundreds of times. Playing music games (Aaero, Fuser, Invector) was also a special treat. I have not watched any movie content yet, but given what I’ve heard so far, I have high expectations regarding sound fidelity. Connection: Others have complained of disconnecting issues or popping, buzzing, or audio cutting out. I’ve had none of these issues except when trying to record and instantly upload video using the Xbox controller’s “share” button. The additional processing may mess with the audio, but it’s momentary (less than 3 seconds) and manifests as a brief stuttering...nothing terrible. The wireless connection to the Xbox through the included USB dongle seems solid. I sit 10-15 feet away from my Xbox and haven’t had issues so far. If you prefer, you can connect to a controller through the included aux cord, but I’ve preferred going totally wireless. Build: Feels solid and weighty. I’m not a huge fan of the specific shade of green they chose as the accent on Penrose X, but I don’t have to worry about that while they’re on my head. They look plenty slick, otherwise. Feels appropriately “next-gen.” Comfort-wise, they were fine. Some of have complained about too much “clamping force,” but I haven’t experienced this myself. I’m a pretty large guy and the headband feels fine to me; the ear cups are squishy but seal nicely, keeping that sweet, sweet audio where I want it: pumping directly into my ear holes, not bleeding into my gaming environment. The App: it’s serviceable. I put it on my PC and connected the headset through USB to see if there was a firmware update; my headset appeared to already be updated, unless it did it automatically for me when I plugged in. I didn’t detect a new version of the firmware, but I’ll check every now and then just in case. You can download EQ settings from the Audeze website for a variety of purposes (an FPS-oriented profile, for instance) or mess with the EQ sliders yourself, but I’ve left the EQ at the default “flat” level and it’s been plenty good for my ears. Value: If you have $300 burning a hole in your pocket, desire a gaming splurge, and also value sound quality in your entertainment, these come highly recommended! I’ve never gone wireless for audio, but so far, I’m sold. ... show more

  • Audeze signature HQ sound with it's signature Quality Assurance. Audeze signature HQ sound with it's signature Quality Assurance.
Model: 205-PS-1121-01
The Penrose in 2024 is still worth providing current day feedback considering it's a real alternative & now cheaper option these days to it's more refined $300+ Maxwell. The authorized sellers are also great with their own customer service in case of any issues pertaining to it's age, warranty, or shipping issues. What should be an easy 5 star audio option, turns into a complete anxiety induced decision you'll have to live with outside of just pure audio fidelity. I want to detail it as I feel I need to... vent a bit after using them & finally purchasing them after years. The Audeze 100mm planar magnetic driver sound tuning here is the absolute best sound quality you will get at this price range of $130-$200 new or used in 2024 & probably beyond for awhile. If that's all you want & nothing more, this headset is it. Stop looking. This is the true hint/taste/demonstration of audiophile sound. Just a taste. Audeze HQ PC app [Mobile app too: Android for Penrose/iPhone for Maxwell only] to EQ is a must to unlock it's real potential. Out of the box, it's dark neutral sound tuning is just waiting to be EQ'd to something greater. More clear, focused, & refined sounding while still handling the rumbling bass with utter excellence. Best of all, you can carry 5 EQ presets with you through the 2.4ghz wireless receiver, bluetooth, or wired AUX connection thanks to it being an active headset w/ automatic gain control for EQ [clipping & driver damage prevention] & an internal DAC setup. Read more on Audeze's website on the tech details behind that all if that confuses you. The only real objective benefit or preference to purchasing the Penrose over the newer Maxwell's that carries the same (more refined) sound & powerful driver technology [albeit 10mm smaller size] is simultaneous wireless/bluetooth. A bit buggy with volume balance, but its a nice option to simply have for gaming + wanting something else in the background from your phone. If you care about that, the Penrose is your only wireless choice of the Audeze gaming headset lineup. Now the hard part & why I waited years for this to go down in price. It's time to get snarky, & sarcastically accurate about this. It's true, all the reviews are true. Beyond it's impressive sound capability through wireless or AUX, this headset absolutely positively sucks. Period. This would be a 2 star corner store headset you'd buy on a clearance rack if not for the Audeze branded soundscapes. No other way to put it. The plastic headband? it will break. If this makes it a full year for me? I'll go buy a lottery ticket. I hold this headset in my hands like a newborn baby. I gently put it down in my shelf after every rep. it holds up. That alone won't prevent it from breaking, it's designed to be as cheap as humanely possible to keep the price down so you can hear the CRYSTAL CLEAR PLANAR MAGNETIC DRIVER SOUND. That warranty as well? Psh. A potential joke depending on what breaks or faults for you. The details are on Audeze's website. It's a pure gamble purchasing this to own [sorry, I mean rent out for awhile] the excellent audio quality. Why you ask? Great question. First, the headband. It's all hollow cheap plastic. Every inch of it. Earcups are held together by... a few small screws forced into that hollow plastic. Every time I pick this set up, I feel like it will crumble in my hands the moment I stretch or put any pressure on the bands to put on my head. The bigger your noggin, the worse it feels. Every micro-adjustment of the band to fit on my head is a horror experience. Have fun with the clamping force on the sides of your face too. These memory foam cups bear hug you so its nice & sealed. This set is highly sensitive to poor fit & channel imbalance due to it, so the clamp force was the solution for that. Second, the driver technology. They sound great? That's cool, but here's why they're still not a default choice for audio vs. dynamic drivers. Planar magnetic drivers simply need air & to breathe when producing sound. Its why 99.9% of these type of headphones are open back. This is a closed back headset with that technology just isolated in here. The breathability inside is minimal, my ears are truly warm using them. Audeze knew of this as well, which is why there are mini holes on one earcup, & air actually being forced out of the AUX & microphone inputs a bit. Very cleaver design [I think? Not sure if that was their intention], but it's simply an accident waiting to happen. & depending on that accident, it might/might not be covered under warranty. Secondly, the drivers themselves. They're HIGHLY delicate, any little wrong turn on the head, a volume level too high, & its cooked. Your set is done. The crinkling sounds begin for you. 'Whooosh' at every turn of bad air flow. But, hey, good luck! They sound great though! Third, the microphone & battery life. The "broadcast" sounding mic? Uh, what? It's just bad. It's simply good enough for game chat/discord & a tradeoff to the only perk of this headset: the audio fidelity. The battery life? They figured that out with the Maxwell thankfully, but Penrose needs to be charged often & it takes hours. Between 10-12 hrs. at most here. Fourth, the Audeze factory warranty. You have to look this up on their website, but the regulations here to cover themselves as a company producing these headsets simply baffle me. Its a question of, why truly bother risking such a poor design of a gaming peripheral to be competitive in this space when so much can go wrong & you'll simply refuse to repair depending on the fault? Their higher end headphones can also have QA problems, but with much better construction of just about everything. It feels completely elitist to me that they simply believe in themselves enough that people in this space will just buy their set for a high price due to sound quality alone when this same space offers so much more than that for wireless headsets. Not everyone cares about just sound & sound alone here. If they did, they'd just... buy the higher end headphones they offer already. Fifth, the 'features'. Most wireless headsets I've owned have their weird faults with EQ apps, controls, etc. This is no different. There is some good, some bad. The wireless range of the low latency dongle? The worst I've ever experienced. You MUST be close to this dongle if you want to use the headset. The Audeze HQ app? Mostly stable for EQ changing, but won't ever accurately depict real battery life. Bluetooth will glitch out the 2.4ghz wireless volume levels, & the HQ app is supposed to help balance that out, but bugs out. Sixth, using this wirelessly on it's intended platforms can have natural complications outside of Audeze's control. For PC, this headset sounds great through wireless. Full sound quality & all. On PS5, & like all wireless headsets I've used, there is clear audio compression happening. This isn't a fault of the Penrose I'm sure, but mostly a warning. This console just doesn't take well to audio peripherals & its a shame of low little reporting there is of it. The drivers will try to mask it, & does it extremely well, but it's there. That wraps up a long summary of the Audeze Penrose & its legacy to me in audio choices. The Maxwell's are the newer more expensive option, that cleans up a number of QA issues of the Penrose. However, that headset is also not fully truthworthy in its closed back design either. Those reviews are probably also painfully accurate in reference to material, features, & driver inconsistency. Audeze, your audio fidelity is mostly top notch. But your lack of QA is bluntly ignorant, & the high end market is your true niche. Please embrace it. Apart of me can respect a higher end company trying to do something in this price bracket. But they're showing in real time the complications of doing so. I'd imagine the Maxwell is their last real attempt considering the tech support for it is very ramped up with firmware updates/app revisions compared to what the Penrose ever had, & apart of me honestly hopes it is. This audio fidelity should not be a $300 lottery ticket that I hope works out for awhile. It should be a comforting smooth & celebratory decision every single time. ... show more

  • Actually worth it.
Model: 205-XB-1122-01
These are phenomenal. Usually I am very skeptical on anything headphone related when the word gaming is around it. Gaming headsets usually give up a lot of audiophile pros while giving into ease of use, low quality builds, or bad mics. These aren't just gaming headphones. These have the best sound I've found in over the ear headphones. Period. The planar magnetic drivers deliver sounds so crisp and locatable I was taken away. It's INSANELY loud because of the giant drivers too. Footsteps are easy to locate in ear, every sound has its own track so nothing is overlapping and blowing out your earphone. Not to mention the best music listening experience you could put on your head. The lows take on life of their own and don't become too shaky like other bassy headphones but are still so loud with the bass I still have a hard time understanding it. The mids all stay separated, and the highs allow all the crisp symbol sounds to be heard from one another even if it's at the same time. You can hear every instrument by itself and almost point to it. These are just as good sounding as some of those 800$+ wired headphones for audiophiles. Oh yeah it's wireless. Perfectly. Out of box, it connected to both my PC and Xbox series X with the switchable USB dongle. Range tested like 15ish feet going outside through two walls so not bad at all. Worked all inside my house. When I did first turn it on it had mic monitoring auto enabled, but once I used the cord to connect the headset to my PC and got the software audeze provides from their website. It had a firmware update and it corrected the mic monitoring, and was able to turn it on and off normally. The mic sounds great. It's no desk mic of course but for what this mic is, it blows my mind. Reminds me of a blue snowball or low quality yeti sitting there on your headset. It has great sound filtering and even when we tried putting three fans around the mic no one heard it in Xbox party chat, or discord. The comfort is pretty good. But. I have a larger head so it's not particularly easy for my to find headsets that fit well. These have enough give and adjustment that I can wear them for about and hour and then I realize the stress from them, but it could also be from how exceptionally loud these are. I did try a long gaming session of about 5 hours and again I noticed an hour in but after that if I kept wearing it I found the headset took shape to my head and stopped pressing so hard. Awesome headphones. The sound is worth the price. Hard to find a combo of all these features at this price point. Including the planar magnetic drivers. Didn't test bluetooth ... show more

  • Great but with some minor flaws.
Model: 205-XB-1122-01
So I've used this product for several months now and I've come to both love and dislike some aspects of this headset. Likes: I'll start off with the sound quality, obviously and easily the best part of the headset, almost unmatched. Also I'm very happy with the build quality and over all design of the headset. They feel like they will last a good long time if you take too care of them. Take away from this is that you don't feel like you purchased a cheap expensive product, it feels like it had real thought and quality put into it. Dislikes: I'll start off with my biggest issue with the headset, the mic. The mic is of decent quality however other headsets currently do have better mics for gaming and better noise canceling. Also depending on how you want to use the headset (wired or wireless) the mic will sound entirely different. Through some testing in game chats, most people agreed the wireless mic quality actually sounded better than the wired mic which was a bummer because I actually wanted to keep these wired but it's not that big of a deal. Secondly, the headset has a Bluetooth and wireless option so theoretically you could listen to music off your phone while also connected to your Xbox or pc. I don't ever use this function like I did my last headset because for some reason the volume control on the phone also controls the volume on the Xbox or PC instead of allowing me to balance the 2 audios separately. Normally, my phones music is way louder than my Xbox and I can't raise or lower the music without it also raising or lowering the Xbox game I'm playing, and also since the headset is connected wirelessly, no you cannot change the volume settings through the Xbox, only through the scroll wheel on the headset or using your phone. My previous headset, a steel series, connects to the Xbox wirelessly without a USB and also connects to my phone by Bluetooth and when I change the volume on my phone, it doesn't change my Xbox volume at the same time. They are completely separate. Also wanted to say that some days they like to disconnect a lot from my Xbox and other days I have no issues with it. The days it happens it's extremely annoying because it stays crackly until I hear "connected" in my ear over and over. Thirdly I wanted to bring attention to the comfort and the battery real quick. The comfort is okay at best. I can wear it for about an hour with glasses on until I start feeling to much pressure and heat from the headset. It hugs tight and the fabric it's made of doesn't allow for easy air flow. Now the battery is just a minor complaint but it last about 8-10 hours for me before needing another charge however for some reason charging it (with a fast charger) takes about 10 hours to fully charge back up. Not sure if that's just my headset or if other people are also experiencing that. I can put them on the chatger before I go to bed but when I wake up they still aren't fully charged. Overall: If you buy these just for a good quality headset and you're mainly looking for the best sound with a decent mic this headset is for you. However, if you're looking at this headset and want it for some of the extra features like the Bluetooth and wireless connectivity then I'd say look somewhere else first and try them. I think in the future this company can make some amazing gaming headsets, they just have some kinks to work out still to really get competitive in the market for gaming headsets. ... show more

  • DO NOT BUY! Lots of popping/cracking/buzzing sound issues and disconnecting/reconnecting issues.
Model: 205-XB-1122-01
As many others have stated about these here, and online, there is a lot of issues with this headset, even with the latest "update". Im on FW 0.1.5 and still have all of the problems. If I were you, I wouldn't waste your $300 dollars on this non-working and problem-ridden set of headphones. Buy something else. I constantly have disconnecting and reconnecting issues. Sometimes 10-15 times in a row and lasts about 60-90 seconds at a time. Ive tried all of my USB ports with the same issue. Super frustrating to hear the "connecting" voice over and over and over and over with no other sound when you rely on communication and sound to effectively play your games. I also have the buzzing, popping, cracking noise that is a big complaint too. Sounds kinda cuts in and out and gets garbled when this happens either with or without the buzzing, popping or cracking. The crappy microphone issue was supposed to be addressed/fixed in the latest update. People tell me my microphone sounds like crap and its cloudy and distorted. The positive - These headphones sound awesome when these issues aren't present, but thats pretty rare. Footsteps for warzone are very accurate and pinpointable. Directional sound is amazing on these, which is exactly what I was looking for in a wireless headset. If these issues were fixed, these headphones would be 10/10 all day. In the end, my advice is to stay far far away from these headphones and get something you know will work. I will update my review if an update comes out that resolves these issues. ... show more

  • Amazing but horrible at the same time Amazing but horrible at the same time
Model: 205-XB-1122-01
Penrose X were a disappointment. Sound was amazing, but design and quality (made of plastic) were horrible. They have 2 dials on the left ear cup. One for headset volume. And the other for mic volume and if u click the wheel in it gives u maybe a 2 second window to adjust game/chat volume which u have to keep clicking over and over at the end of ur match to balance out the game noise to hear ur friends. By the time u get it dialed in boom ur back in the next match have to adjust again lol It’s irritating man. I found my myself opening up the chat settings for Xbox multiple times a day to figure out what I was doing. And no u cannot change the headset volume settings through the console. Everything has to be done on the headset. I just sent mine back after 2 weeks of use. Sound was amazing. Mic was too long and flimsy but sounds amazing. Everything else about it is poor. Left ear cup sound like it has foil in it and won’t stop making a crumbling noise. The suction of the earcups is pretty tight to the point where my left ear drum was being sucked on and pulled out of my ear. U guys know that feeling? If not put the palm of ur hand over ur ear and press hard then let off. It’s that feeling. The headset is made of plastic. Doesn’t have LED indicator to let u know ur mic is muted. What year are we in again?? Also everything has to be done on the headset which I stated earlier is a FREAKING nightmare. I don’t know what Audeze was thinking when they developed these. Sound is great. Everything else is just poor. I’m mad. Tired of these companies trying to finesse everyone out of a quick buck. Make 1 headset that does it all please. So tired of corporate America. If we could put the great sound quality of the Audeze Penrose into the headset of the LucidSound LS50X headset that would be the perfect headset for everyone, I believe. LS50X were great in every aspect especially CONTROLS except for the sound WHILE gaming. Sound for listening to music and movies however was awesome and freaking epic!! Unfortunately sent both headsets back and going back to my trustee Hyper X headset until we get a proper headset or an updated version from any one of these companies. 😡😡 hope this helps anyone out there with the same frustrations I’ve been having with finding my next headset to game for another 5/10 years. Good luck guys. UPDATE - Sent the first set back, got another set. It feels like the first headset they gave me was a used one. Pulling this one out of the box just felt amazing. Everything was stronger and more durable. The foil sound in the left ear cup is now gone. I love it now. Was finally able to download the Audeze HQ app this time on my Mac OS laptop so I did the update and is awesome. I’m in love with these again. Wish that the controls would still get an adjustment as far as game/party chat goes. Wish the side tone/mic monitoring was louder. Can’t hear myself at all. But not necessary I guess. Sound quality is superb and I’m hooked. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular 40/50mm driver again. UPDATE AGAIN - Hahahahaha nevermind, the 2nd headset I just received 3 days ago now won’t turn on at all and is completely dis functional. This company needs to learn to perfect there product before they make it available to the public. What a nightmare!!!! ... show more

  • Good quality
Model: 205-PS-1121-01
Had this thing for a few months, Sound quality is amazing, isn't too heavy, clamp force is perfect and the material that the cups are made of are really durable and soft kind of like a memory foam instead of a hard packaging foam that my pulse 3d headset had, great build quality, I'm really clumsy and rough with things and I have dropped this thing a few times and nothing has broken so far, the versatility is awesome I love having the option between wireless, bluetooth and aux, the usb wireless dongle works seamlessly on my pc, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. The software is easy to install and use, and saves the eq setup on the actual headset so you don't have to worry about having different eq setups on each device. Also the mic sounds decent and has adjustable mic volume as well as playback so you can hear yourself talking, and if you have a mic with aux playback you can just plug that into where the mic would go and your good to go for streaming or voice recording. Things that I don't like about this headset #1 having to hold down the power button to turn it on and off #2 when I go outside to let the dog out I like to switch over to bluetooth mode and hook the headset up to my phone so I can listen to music while I let the dog run around the yard, however before I do this I need to physically remove the wireless usb dongle from my pc before going outside because even though my headset is in bluetooth mode and hooked up to my phone, it still holds a connection to the wireless dongle in my pc meaning it is connected to both my pc and phone at the same time. The reason this is an issue is because when I go outside I am reasonably far away from my pc and the connection for the wireless usb dongle will go in and out, resulting in a constant "connected" "disconnected' message interrupting my music constantly. Not that big of a deal but I felt like it was worth mentioning. ... show more

  • Absolutely Fantastic Sound Absolutely Fantastic Sound
Model: 205-PS-1121-01
UPDATE #2: Audeze had me send in the busted pair and sent me a brand new one. They say the hinge issue has been resolved. Really great customer support considering I was out of my official warranty period yet they still made it right. UPDATE: Little over a year later... like many other people encountered... the plastic hinge on the left side snapped randomly and, while they still work fine audibly, they're broken. It's a very cheap piece of plastic on the extenders for the ear cups... suspect everyone will run into them randomly snapping at some point. For $300, it's a hard sell to buy them a second time and will likely have reduced audio quality through a competitor but at least not have them break after a year of regular usage. Definitely the best quality audio I've ever heard in a wireless gaming headset. There are lingering reviews out there about microphone issues but, whatever Audeze did in latest firmware updates, the microphone sounds fantastic. If you have an Nvidia RTX video card - pass the microphone audio through Nvidia Broadcast for a truly, studio-quality broadcast experience. Extremely happy with my purchase. Been waiting months for it to be back in stock and purchased it, immediately, once it did. PROS: * Absolutely fantastic audio quality * Microphone sounds great * Well packaged CONS: * Tight squeeze but read they break-in eventually * Heavier than most gaming headsets due to the drivers * Would look more professional if Audeze left off the blue (green for Penrose X series) accent color. Would prefer this, personally. * Microphone defaults to pass-through audio, so you hear what you're saying. The only way to disable this is to download the Audeze HQ software/app and connect the headset via the included USB cables. * USB port is ONLY for charging / managing the headset settings. Cannot solely use the USB connectivity to listen to audio. ... show more
