The Audeze Penrose is the follow up to the Audeze Mobius gaming headset of 2018. The Penrose loses a lot of the gimmicks from the Mobius and adds highly requested 2.4ghz wireless connectivity, meaning you can game in it wirelessly unlike the Mobius' limiting Bluetooth connectivity. All of this combines to make it a great audiophile grade wireless gaming headset. Huge thanks to Audeze for loaning me this for review!

About This Video

In this video I review the Audeze Penrose, which you can basically think of as the “gaming-first” follow-up to the Mobius. It drops a lot of the Mobius gimmicks (Waves Nx head tracking, virtual 7.1, onboard EQ profiles) and adds the big feature everyone wanted: true 2.4GHz wireless via a dongle, so you can actually game wirelessly with essentially no latency. I also cover the two versions (Penrose vs Penrose X) and who should buy which depending on PlayStation/Mac vs Xbox. I go over build and comfort (very Mobius-like: mostly plastic, acceptable comfort for long sessions, but not the most premium-feeling for $300), then I talk about the biggest annoyance: the noise floor. The Penrose still has audible amp hiss wirelessly, and I even heard a bit of interference once—though interestingly the hiss mostly goes away when I plug in an aux cable. I also demo the mic wirelessly (it’s a step up and totally usable for chat, but more compressed wireless than wired). Sound-wise, it’s tuned similarly to the Mobius default: a bit of sub-bass lift, some upper-mid/lower-treble recessions, and a touch of upper-treble energy. Detail and imaging are the standouts (imaging is genuinely impressive for a closed-back), and overall it fills a niche we’ve been missing: a wireless gaming headset that actually sounds good.
