    The headset was without a doubt a great sounding headset, however there are several things I want to point out. Pros: Audiophile sound, comfortable, bluetooth, good battery, and good mic. Cons: this one for me was the reason I decided to go elsewhere, the mic monitoring has an awful amount of feed back, even if you turn it down very low. I Have the astro a50x and even though that headset also has feedback, it is far less. Also the software is mediocre. sometimes disconnects, so i think that Audeze needs to go the mixamp route, those little usb sticks dont cut it for pro wireless headsets. If none of the cons bother you than this might be your headset, however I believe the headset should cost $200 at most, the price point is hefty for what it doesnt offer. 4/5 good but not great.

    Incredible gaming headphones. These are the ones to get if you're looking for that rich deep bass or if you're looking to replace your surround sound theater system. They're that good. Other headphones felt like you were hearing gaming headphones. This feels like you're hearing a surround sound home theater system. I haven't tried the mic yet but from video reviews I hear its just fine. They're a tad on the pricey side but if you're looking for that speaker replacement and total sound immersion for your games and movies or even music on your PC or laptop these are it. Highly recommend!

    Great headset for gaming yet still has studio headphone design. The planar magnetic drivers at this price and build quality is very good

    I’m a front of house engineer and I work in the studio occasionally so audio is very important to me. I’ve never owned a headset that was mentioned for gaming but is also the best at anything you do with it. There sound is unmatched and detail that this headset produces I’ve never heard before from anything els.

    I've never been much of a headphone user but due to wanting to give Cyberpunk a try with the Immerse Gaming pack, I gave these a try. I usually prefer to run my full Klipsch speakers so that the sub can thump...I find myself using these more and more. Gaming is absolutely a treat on these!

    Excellent headset. Clear audio. Not too much bass so if you’re looking for that you may want a different headset.

    These are not gaming headphones. Sure, they can be OK for single player or role playing games but if at any point you want to PVP, good luck with these. Even if you tune them to the V pattern that most of us are used to you will have a very hard time pinpointing direction. Now, for music, these are phenominal. They shouldn't be advertised as a gaming headset though.

    Clicking noises in the headset

    Unfortunately online people are saying it’s very common among this headset and I can confirm that after half an hour to an hour of wearing them they randomly just start clicking. Also the headset is very big which makes it somewhat displeasing to use. Also the adobe software is just horrible and you have to pay for it. Not to mention the chat/game slider was hard to set up and very time consuming.

    One of if not the besting headset out there

    Ive had mine about a year and its my third audeze headset. (Had the penrose and still own the lcd x) mic quality is outstanding for a headset mic. The sound quality is top notch and incredible spacious comapred to the penrose. The penrose was plenry loud. More than the steelseries ive tried. Battery life is up to 90 hours. I charge it maybe once every two weeks and when i do the battery barely has gone down. The 90mm planar magnetic drivers are well optimized for gaming.
