A:AnswerThe Portals are very comfortable, and can be worn for extended periods of time without issue. I have not tried the A50s, but I was unable to wear Steelseries headsets for longer than an hour or two without discomfort due to the clamping pressure.
A:AnswerThey are much more comfortable for one. The Penrose X is one of the least comfortable headsets I have owned. The Penrose are louder and have a much more pronounced bass response. The Portal have a very clear and balanced sound and some really cool controls. The mic sounds better on the Penrose but there is a boom mic where the Portal only has a mic array that works pretty well. They both work very well and are very clear. Positional sound is really good on both. The software for the portal app make updating sound settings on the fly a breeze. If you are planning to use them for more than games I would grab the Portal. Just gaming I would probably go for the Penrose as long as you dont have a big head (size 8)
A:AnswerNo it goes to a default for all settings at power on with mic on. But it becomes habit to connect to it via the app after powering on to set Volume, Mute, ANC level and such and have a visual representation of these settings.
A:AnswerThe PS5 can connect to the Beoplay Portal using a Creative BT-W3 transmitter, which is capable of using the headset's low latency AptX-adaptive codec. While connected, it will register as a tempest 3d audio headset, as well.
A:AnswerIf you mean to type "charged", it's via a usb-c cable. If you did mean "changed", I'm not sure how you mean. If you're talking about earcups, I think B&O sell replacements.
A:AnswerNo you don’t have to pair it every time. The button on the left ear I believe is a toggle. When you turn the headset on it will be blue and then when you press button and it finds Xbox signal it turns white. Takes a second no re-pairing necessary
