I had a pair of the Audeze Penrose, and I remember the audio quality sounding genuinely insane to me at the time. I loved them. Problem is though, the mic quality was dogshit according to my friends. Not only that, they cracked along the side and eventually fully snapped after around a year of use. I looked it up and saw that that was a really common issue, the build quality on them is genuinely atrocious when you consider the price. I paid around £250 for mine. So overall, the sound quality is beautiful but everything else really needs improvement (or a price drop). (Maybe my issues were unique to the Penrose though and were fixed with the Maxwell idk)
r/buildapc • Good headphones for gaming in 2024? ->If you don't need headset, when why bother with something labeled 'gaming headphones' at all? I had HyperX that weren't bad for gaming, and I have Audeze Penrose + Maxwell that i go as far as calling 'good'
r/HeadphoneAdvice • is Steel Series the best headphone brand for gaming? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
