The fact you didn’t allow the amazing audio quality drown out the fact it isn’t the most comfy is why I do love your reviews. Genuine and truthful as they come and I appreciate it big time!
So I did the exact mod that Techne did (wicked cushions & the headband) & honestly it was super easy (like so much easier than I thought it'd be) but the comfort level improvement is Unbelievable!! *They seriously feel like a completely different headset, & are actually comfortable now! But it's important to get both the ear cushions And the Headband... without the headband cover, it's not near as comfortable. Now it's a true End-Game Headset!!* (Oh, and I game on the PS5, but have the Penrose X bc they work on everything, where the regular Penrose won't work on Xbox)
I am so so pleased with the Penrose X. I have had absolutely no issues with crackling or white noise in one ear cup. However I did update the headset software as everyone recommended and it is caused by leaving the sidetone on in the settings. When you buy the headset full update them and turn the sidetone OFF. Absolutely incredible headset. I personally found them really comfortable but I think that's also because I'm used to the Arctis Pro Wired with gamedac and the wires kept tugging.
By the way I used the Penrose X on PS5 and put the slider in PC mode and works perfectly. Also works great on xbox but I am not sure what sound format to put the console. I think its stereo uncompressed as whenever I changed the format to 5.1 uncompressed it changed back to stereo uncompressed
The Penrose X works on the PS4/5 as well. I own them and use them on my PS5 with no issues. The Penrose will ONLY work with the PS4/5 and PC. If you want a set that works with all 3 platforms, get the Penrose X. If you hate green or have no plans to play Xbox, get the Penrose.
@@SpraykwoNTheChef noiice bout to order them now ive been trying to find good headphones and watching a bunch of reviews since the turtlebeach 800’s i have are not good anymore
If you buy this actually get the green one for the Series X. The green one will actually work on both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. When you switch the adapter from Xbox to PC it will work on the PS5. I know this for a fact because I use the green one on both and it works perfectly. Also from other videos I’ve seen on this the PlayStation headset (blue one) will not work on both, on the the green one.
@@bleedsblue05esk8 oh no sir I bought the PlayStation version because I heard many many complaints about the x version! But honestly it probably was the firmware troubles you mention!
I play rebirth on ps5 a lot with the 3d audio on with the high boost preset and I think everything is just loud in the game I can barely hear footsteps and can’t tell a difference In positional audio like if someone is above me or below me.
I’m an Emersion surround sound experience wide spa oak sound kind of guys , I like to hear the little things unnoticed by ppl like butterflies, wind , water splash in the distance in games , could you tell me what’s the BEST ps5 headphone or set up I could have to achieve this ? Will it be Sonys 3d tempest with the best head phones or a mix amp and headset ? I would rather use Sony 3d tempest but will consider anything . I’ve got my eyes on : 1More sonoflow Sennheiser gsp 670 Razer barracuda X Audeze Mobius 3d spacial audio( I wonder if you have to turn of either 3D to work) Apple AirPods Max That would be amazing if you could help me make a decision Many thanks and great work on the reviews love it 👍🏼
Excellent Review as usual. The only thing I would disagree with, and it's completely subjective, but.... For me personally, the headset is the most comfortable I've used! I've owned many, i.e, Steel Series, TB 700 Gen 2, Hyper Cloud 2's, Pulse 3d and Xbox Wireless (Newest Version). I find that adjusting the swivel of each ear cup once the headset is worn dramatically personalizes the fit. One man's, not E.T., perspective! Keep up the good work!
Great review! Why is it inadvisable to get the penrose x vs the ps5 regular 'penrose' though? What is the difference in terms of how they perform on ps5? My understanding of the difference is 1) color and 2) the penrose x also works on xbox, correct? Or is the ps5 version somehow optimized for ps5 in a material/noticeable way?
Hi, could we have a "Best Pulse 3D EQ settings" video plz, wich are the best for action/adventure games, shooter etc, also your videos are super interressing 👍
I still love the kiara pro ps5 headset. Had it since December love it since then as well. I don’t have any of the problems that have ever been mentioned. The sound is premium the haptic (on low) works awesome for all around games and movies and music, the mic both of them work well. Better than this one. Idk. Mine work great.
The fit and confort aren't bad. Its only bad if you are coning from the most comfortable headsets like the arctis or hyperX, which tbh i hate the loose band on the arctis, the audeze is more balanced on clamp and top hang force. The arctis is all top hang force no clamp force. The issue with the penrose is, Bluetooth volume dominant over game, weird noise in left ear on some/most models, poor range, and my model has an inconsistent battery life, and connection is spotty. Oh and the mic is average about as good as arctis mic. For me the lack of background noise pickup is a HUGE plus cor me over better sounding mics.
Also there is a mobile phone app for adjusting EQ and mic input. Another HUGE plus for me. On the fly EQ+ custom presets so usefull especially for ps5 where ps4 games aren't designed for ps5 sound engine so different sliders for ps4 vs ps5 games make a difference
Picsoleated - could you please tell me how your sony xm3 compares to audeze when it comes to ps5 gaming ? I want to buy just one good pair of headphones for gaming but for music / movies aswell. So please help me out :)
xm3 - great build, excellent battery life, class leading NC, terrible sound quality. penrose - average to poor build, poor battery life, no NC, excellent sound quality (for a cheap headphone).
I have the Penrose x and yes it does work perfectly on the PS5. There is a small toggle on the USB dongle that you slide to PC and it connects and works great. Sounds fantastic btw. Hope that helps.

Thank you for clarifying. I'm going to get the penrose x rather than the penrose even though i mostly use them competitively on ps5
Have u had any white noises or crackling in the background, if so, is it bad or is it alright?

Yup got the x version best way to go. I love green. So it was easy.
I’m not planning to get any xbox but I’m still going for the x because it’s on sale with a 10% discount… Thanx 4 the tip!
Is the quality the same tho? Like would the Penrose X have the same quality if i use them on the ps5?
@@temperedewok7747 yes

Ahhhhh bud the X has been having pretty bad connection problems!
@@djm24able maybe check your firmware to make sure yours is up to date because I haven’t had connection issues with mine.

The Maxwell fix a lot of the issues of the Penrose, and even improves on the sound department.

can you review the B&O Beoplay for the PS? I'm currently Headset shopping and I'm about to pull on the penrose but I would love your input of the B&O
Yes I can they suck run from them. I purchased about 6 different brands at one time. The portals went back first
Can you do an top 5 headsets for PS5?
I bought these last year and hated them at first,but as i used them more and more i fell in love with them.
if you upgrade the earpads and headband with aftermarket parts its comfortable as hell....although bigger
Fit for me was great: after 2-3 days you can't wear something like arctis. Just let a bend get loose a bit.

All the other reviews I've seen have said if you have both consoles to get the Penrose X
Can you please compare these to the new steel series arctis nova pros
It's this the best sounding headset you have reviewed?
My dude I’m so glad to see you took my advice!!!
The headphones are great
Can I use the 3.5 jack to my Xbox series x if needed?
Do u need a computer to set up and install firmware? Or can u just plug into ps5 and play
I bought these thank you beyond broski I only watched like half of the video though
Hi, could we have a "Best Pulse 3D EQ settings" video plz, wich are the best for action/adventure games, shooter etc, also your videos are super interressing 👍
the EQ settings are relatively simple should be easy to fgure out

Picsoleated - could you please tell me how your sony xm3 compares to audeze when it comes to ps5 gaming ? I want to buy just one good pair of headphones for gaming but for music / movies aswell. So please help me out :)
xm3 - great build, excellent battery life, class leading NC, terrible sound quality.
penrose - average to poor build, poor battery life, no NC, excellent sound quality (for a cheap headphone).
Battery- I heard it’s due to the power it takes to make that sound so good.
I can use settings in Phone or pc,and Eq work on ps5 ??
Aren’t these just wireless HyperX Orbit S?
Try the Maxwell next😊
just got the steelseries nova pro for my ps5 and then learned the amazing sonar program doesn't work on ps5 for some reason what a waste smh
Get these then 👍
I heard the penrose x works on the ps5. Can you confirm? I have both consoles so that would be great to use on either console
I have the Penrose x and yes it does work perfectly on the PS5. There is a small toggle on the USB dongle that you slide to PC and it connects and works great. Sounds fantastic btw. Hope that helps.
HD 800 S is the only 'endgame' gaming headset.
For PC sure. It's also out of the price range of 99.7% of the population
Has anyone tried it with Asseto Corsa Com?
Not worth it. I bought the Xbox version and could not tell the difference in sound quality.
They're both the same headphones. Just to save on possible compatibility issues you should get the one based on what console you plan to use it with
@@picsoleated you are correct. I meant to my regular 140$ hyper x headphones
😎👍🏼
