With the SS being way more focused on highs, you pick up small reloads/footsteps easier. But these have such a pure space feeling. Man it's so hard to explain, lol

@@Mike_TNVol4Life I’ve been hesitant to get the penrose just because of how much they cost and how uncomfortable everyone says they are (shouldn’t be for that price), plus supposedly bad wireless range/connection and subpar battery life. I don’t mind spending money on a good set but nobody seems to be able to make a good all around headset which is baffling. I also don’t care if wireless wont sound as good as wired, the convenience of no wires for couch play is more than worth it

Hey techne, you should check the Philips Fidelio X2HR(130€) and V-Moda BoomPro mic(35€) combo, I feel like this is the best value you can get, probably the best option for under 200€ both for gaming and other usages

This has been my wired option for at least 2 years and my Penrose for wireless

[@FloN.83]

I am using the Fidelio X2`s in combination with my Shure MV7 for one year now, and i really like the sound too. The only thin i hade to switch the earpads to thicker ones and i had to stretch them a bit out, cause the clamping force was a little to strong for my opinion. But i got them on amazon sale for only 99€ so it was a really good deal. Wireless i use the Steelseries Novas.

[@Cyrus92178]

I got these last week. They are awesome. I wish it had volume and game/chat on the head set or cable though to make quicker and finer adjustments.

[@TheTechne]

they told me they didn't include a volume wheel because it would be another point to break up the sound, so keep it out to maintain the pure sound.

[@Cyrus92178]

I think they should have added it with the inline mic and mute function. The mic sounds really bad on xbox. It cuts in and out and the mic volume sounds low to me. These are some of the most comfortable headphones/headsets I own though. The sound quality and directional audio is awesome!

I would say yes as a complete package, but sound is very different from the two. As for unit quality, I would put it up against the Audeze LCD-gx, that good! but the sound defiantly has more bass here

[@Kmart2180]

PenroseX get louder and brighter. These are warmer and at first they will sound faint, but give them time and eventually you will see they have better overall sound (but just not as loud). In games at first I wanted to jack the volume knob up that doesn't exist (coming from PenroseX and Nova Pros). But eventually I came to find that you actually hear more overall sound (further sound stage) without the blasting a PenroseX gives you. The spacial audio is amazing compared to my PenroseX. My only negative is the mic, mines was shorter than what's shown here so maybe they've adjusted already to complaints. Nobody can ever hear me on Xbox with my mic. I'm in the process of returning them because of it, but if they have a better option with a longer mic, I'd definitely keep them.

Honestly, the biggest thing holding most great headsets back, for me, is currently the lack of Bluetooth or crap implementation of it. Unfortunately I need that feature so I can play on PS5, while chatting on Discord via my laptop. I sync them up with both and it's nice. I truly hope, that some day, Discord becomes a native app, on consoles, because that would open up so much. I would totally become a wired headset gamer, whether be the Arctis Nova Pro, straight from the console or these right into the controller. I does bite that a bit depends on having Bluetooth, and I'm honestly surprised there isn't a hybrid wired/Bluetooth headset so I can have the superior sound quality of wired, while also syncing up for Discord.

I bought them and got a mic half the size of yours. Nobody can ever hear me on Xbox, for that reason I'm probably gonna return them. It's too bad cause the 3d spacial sound is unique. Love them for FPS's like Apex Legends. Also music is amazing with these. You can pinpoint each instrument or track layered. Something I've never experienced before with all my other headsets (PenroseX, Audeze Morbious, Turtle Beach, Nova Pro's). One thing that is a bit annoying is depending on what controller I use, the sound doesn't get loud enough on Xbox. Like there's no volume adjust on the headset so you are at the mercy of the Xbox volume adjuster in the home setting screen. On some controllers the sound is great, on other controllers it's faint. I might write the company and see what's the deal with the new mic, maybe enough people complained and they made it bigger/longer.

How about immersion wise for something like a rpg game, you think this is the best headset for that or did another headset u had sounded better for that?

[@Mariscos420]

I think they started shipping longer mics later, so if you contact support they might be able to replace the mic, not sure though.

the mic was terrible

No, its audeze LCD-GX. :D i got all of these so called "hifi gaming headsets". In cluding audeze LCD-GX, Mobius. You name it :D

[@shaiyahtimmons3122]

I have to start out by saying Techne is awesome. So this post is not a reflection of him but rather the headset So this headset was so overhyped and very well reviewed at least how it was presented. I just got it in the mail today and it cannot stack up against my Nova pro wireless, audeze penrose x, my PC38x or even my turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 max. I’d say it tries to mimick the PC38x but the sound quality on the PC38x is clearer, a tad less bass but better than the VZR model one. The spatial 3d audio on the VZR was (meh). I paid $97 for my PC38x and I’m returning my $349, after tax $380 VZR model one for something better. I put this headset through COD Mw2 and Dune 4k with Jason Momoa. PC38x is the better headset for cod MW2 Nova pro wireless slays the new Dune 4k’s incredible sound stage and range. VZR model one does not, DOES NOT live up to the hype or advertising and it’s crosswave technology didn’t do anything the PC38x doesn’t already do with ease

[@shaiyahtimmons3122]

Ok Michel and Vic at VZR are absolutely Amazing. They’ve been very kind to send me another VZR Model one to test and have given me some awesome homework to put it through it’s paces. They Truly do absolutely care about their product and us the consumer. Can’t wait to see what these can do with what VZR’s Team suggested. It’s quite possible that something was just off with my first pair. Looking forward to this immensely

[@jinji0205]

Could you tell me what is your second thought? is it worth for 350 usd? or pc38x still better? if it worth the hefty price I would buy it

[@shaiyahtimmons3122]

@@jinji0205 are you going for console use or pc? In my opinion, I don’t think you can beat the customer service at VZR, but as far as the model one and the $300 price point, you’ll get a headset with crystal clear sound, but it doesn’t have the low end I need for all of my gaming and media needs. I bought the PC38x renewed through Amazon for $89 and I pair it up with the steel series wired pro dac amp for eq. EQ brings the PC38x to life.PC38x sounds great as is for gaming through my Xbox or PS5 controllers, but when paired up with a dac amp it’s incredible. I can now use it for movies as well since it’s plugged into the dac amp. If it were up to me, and you wanted fantastic audio, in the $300 price point: For Wireless I’d recommend: Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro wireless (Xbox version) Audeze Maxwell (Xbox version) Audeze Penrose ((Xbox version) Turtlebeach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max (Xbox version) For wired: SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wired Xbox version (comes with dac amp you can pair up any wired headphones with Drop Epos PC38x JBL Quantum One Remember that audio is subjective. Your ears may hear sound and interpret that sound differently than others. Audiophile wired fun for gaming: Philips Fidelio X2HR , then purchase vmoda boom mic to use I’d suggest trying out different headphones through Amazon, if they don’t suit you well after a few days you can return them for a full refund. Btw I recommend the Xbox version for the headsets I mentioned because they work on PS5 and PC flawlessly as well
