Yeah I know but i'm willing to wait for people to test them on their new consoles and decide from there.

Wireless headset for next-gen consoles
- Thread starter Sutton Dagger
- Start date
Plenty here own the 7x (and there are have been a good number or opinions for them already), but the Penrose haven't shipped yet so I don't think we will get any info on them for at least a few weeks if not into December.
The Penrose headsets are not open back, they're closed.
I really hope my Penrose gets here by the PS5 release. Last Audeze mentioned, the non-X versions should be shipping within the next few days with expedited shipping. 🤞🏼
Oh wow, they are closed back. Thanks for correcting me, thought they were open. Still looking forward to reviews.
The Arctis 7X is a fantastic headset. Big drivers, great sound, solid bass for being wireless. Compatible with every console and device known to man basically.
I don't doubt the Penrose X will be a solid choice. However it costs more and is not compatible between all devices. Unless the onboard bluetooth works with the PS5 as an audio device.......but no way would I ever consider that ideal for any use of sound quality vs the USB dongles.
Thanks, if you bought either the PS5 or the Xbox Series please give us feedback later on the week.
Steel Series is great. Love their mice also.
I have Astro A50s right now though since I got a good deal on them. They've treated me well.

Already have the Arctis 9X for Series X, thinking of getting the Arctis 7P for PS5 because it use the Tempest audio which is the same as the Sony Pulse
You won't have to. Any Stereo headset uses the Tempest audio features. It comes from the PS5.
Edit : Though I don't think the 9x works on PS wireless.
Series X sadly does not go to me lol.
PS5 I probably won't be able to truly touch till Saturday due to my work schedule.
Oh, thought the Tempest Audio was exclusive to the Pulse and 7P, didn't know that
nope, pretty much any headset that plugs into the controller or uses usb works with tempest audio
the 7X will also work wirelessly with Switch in handheld mode thanks to USB-C
for the Penrose you'd have to use an aux cable I believe?
I'm still very confused. Will 3D Tempest Audio work with my Arctis 9?
Does the headset have to be plugged into the controller or USB port for it to work?

Yes should work absolutely fine, the Tempest chip is the source, headset will just receive.
Yeah I'm in the UK so it's looking like it will be December until I get it.
I've been using a pair of Hyper cloud x for the last couple of years. They are wired and I connect them through the controller (Xbox one x/PS4 pro). My question is will these wireless head sets like the arctis 7x, sound better or worse compared to wired headsets through the controller?
So, any consensus on a budget headphone for XBX that uses the spatial thing and all that mumbo jumbo?
I received my 7X today. Fast shipping! When used with the Switch the mic picks everything up and feeds into the headphones. Is there a way to disable this in the system settings as opposed to turning the mic off on the headset? Not a huge deal, but I'd rather not have the mic lit up (it lights up when turned off on the headset) at all times...
And actually, now that I think about it, it's kind of weird how the mic was picking up all the ambient sounds in my house and sending to headphones...

I'm pleased with mine fwiw
No
I use a USB switcher for between PC, XB, PS and Switch - only hassle is the switch for XB/not XB
Sidetone might be enabled. Try plugging it into your PC, go the the steelseries engine and disable it. When I open mine, thats the first thing I'm doing.
Lol yeah i cancelled mine last week and just went with the 7P's I refuse to fire up my next-gen console without a new headset
Here's the update email from Audeze:

Thanks. In Australia the distributor updated us (29/10/20) to expect the Penrose in mid to late November, so that still seems about right.Here's the update email from Audeze:

Penrose is PS5 only.
Penrose X is the one that might (unofficially) work on PS5, and those haven't passed Microsoft certification yet.
I know the Penrose is, but the X has a switch on the dongle, that maybe makes it work with both Xbox and PlayStation consoles. It's possibly the same for the Penrose.
A few people in this thread, myself included, have reached out to Audeze for clarification, but there hasn't been any definitive answer. I'm hoping the silence is them just waiting on the certification from MS before they can confirm anything.
I tend to break in all my headphones. Is the volume up on the console? When I first got my 7P I thought the same thing, but the output volume from the console was only set halfway for some reason.

Seems Scan UK original estimate date of 25/11 is looking pretty accurate so far, it was that when I started looking at these back in early October
Probably not the best person to ask but seems fine to me, not sure why there would be quality loss either as it's a switch rather than a splitter...but like I said, I'm no expert. Switcher did cost me £40 but I wanted one with a remote and latest USB compliant for longevity.
For XSX, how does the controller audio connection compare to like dedicated wireless headsets? Deciding between going all out on wireless like an Arctic 7X or just use my PC headset on the controller. Would I louse much quality or features like Dolby Atmos (virtual?)
Sorry if it's already been answered but how would I go about connecting the arctis 9 to my ps5 and pc at the same time to use discord?
Got my 7x today. How should I setup for use with Series X? I have the Dolby and DTS apps. Do I need to do anything on my PC to change the sound for first setup?
Yes would like to know this as well!
Also how long is it supposed to take to charge? I've had it charging for like 3 hours and the headset LED is still showing as red, which is 10-19% charged according to the manual.
