The only downside is the Xbox USB port can only be used on PC or Xbox, whereas the PS5/PC version can use both ports for anything. I think buying the Xbox version is a no brainer if you intend to own an Xbox in the future.
Do you mind explaining a little more what you mean by "for anything" regarding the PS5 version? So the Xbox version only has one "for anything" port that can be used for PS5, Switch, laptop, etc.? And those two "anything" ports on the PS5 version can be used for anything besides an Xbox?
As far as I'm aware you're exactly right. Others in this thread seem to back up this information.
While I love the Nova Pro, I do miss how comfy my SHP 9500s are. These aren't uncomfortable, they're just not as comfy as those. I could barely tell I was wearing them.

Thanks! The only thing that's unfortunate is the Sonar software only works with Windows. I own a Mac so I can only adjust with the GG engine or via the DAC menu. I still have access to hi-res audio via the DAC menu I assume.
It does not--I was on my Xbox last night using the headset for game chat but using the PS App on my phone to talk to my friend. Operates the same way the Arctis 3 BT does.
That's good the 9 I got after my penrose broke would mute your mic in game when you used it for Bluetooth my understanding is the old pro also did that.
Yeah I remember hearing that, which is ultimately why I didn't end up with a 9X at launch. such an incredibly dumb decision, not sure why they made it that way.
After the success I had with this, I'd love to use a higher end board from something like an Audeze penrose etc that can do simultaneous Bluetooth etc. But obviously just dabbling with these is pretty cost prohibitive especially at the higher level and I can't just get the internals afaik? If anyone has a broken headset that they're going to scrap because it's out of warranty. I'd gladly pay for it and maybe do something productive with it!How realistic is it, to take the internals of a wireless headset and repurpose them to make a better gaming headset?
So for years I’ve been bothered that the only company to make a universal wireless headset device was Astro with the wireless Mixamp which was discontinued almost a decade ago? Now. It allowed you to take nearly any 3.5 mm device 3/4 pole and turn it into a wireless headphone or headset. With...
So this is something I've been working on having grown pretty frustrated with crappy gaming headsets that break easily. There's so many failure points usually compared to good headphones, not to mention lower audio quality. My penrose broke after 4 months at the swivel on the ear up and I had them replaced, but it's only a matter of time. It's still a work in progress but it's working as of today and I was jamming out to some music just a little while ago after testing it on some games. I need to create an enclosure and think about where the wires can be stowed since many good headphones don't have detachable cables. I just ordered a Beyer Dynamic DT 770 pro 32ohm and I think I'll base the enclosure design around that. But it's a marked improvement over most gaming headsets with such a simple modification. Originally I thought about integrating it directly into the headphones, but decided instead to basically create a new mixamp out of it that universal to any wired low impedance headphones like Astro used to but with Bluetooth capabilities and audio via usb dongle.

So far I tested Division 2 and Ace Combat 7 on XsX and the Nova's sound great. Its too soon to say its a huge upgrade over the 7x since they already sounded fantastic. Current gen consoles don't support hi res audio so Im not sure the expanded frequency response really makes a difference. However everything sounds very crisp and clear.
I love my Penrose. At one point the plastic in the headband cracked and I had to send it back for a warranty repair, and it was excruciating going without it.
I was seeing reports of bands breaking just above the ear cups. Wondering if I can reinforce that somehow. The one I'm considering is pre-owned, so I might have more trouble sending it in for repair.
Found this this morning:
AIAIAI Studio Wireless+: Finally, low-latency headphones for music producers
I underestimated just how freeing it would be to ditch wired headphones in my studio.
I've read some reviews and reports of a "hiss" worry me that it's using poor amp. Cans are really good from what I've read.

I agree. You can make it sound really great on PC with their Sonar software, but those settings don't stick when you use it on console which is a bummer. If they can manage a way to let me save those settings to the EEPROM, it would sound great.
