The headset doesn’t completely cancel noise, but it does a solid job of muffling outside sounds.Īs for one of the cooler features, the Mobius can quickly switch between Bluetooth and aux modes. The earcups themselves are over-ear, made of a combination of faux leather and soft foam, so they can get a bit sweaty at times. The left earcup of the Mobius features multiple ports, including the power button, a USB-C port, an aux port, a port for the included microphone, volume wheels for both headset and microphone volume, a microphone mute button, and a button to toggle 3D audio. This can be problematic for some, depending on the layout of your gaming setup. The headset comes with an aux cable and a USB cable, so it can be plugged into a console and PC that way, but the included cables aren’t very long at all at a little over three feet. For PC, it’ll need to be a Bluetooth-ready unit. If you want to use it purely as a Bluetooth headset for gaming, you’ll need a separately sold USB Bluetooth dongle. The Mobius is also Bluetooth capable but it sadly doesn’t come with a USB Bluetooth receiver, so it doesn’t work out of the box as a Bluetooth headset with PS4, Xbox One, or PC. One of the more unique selling points of the Mobius is its integrated head-tracking feature, which tracks head movements at 1,000 times per second “to feed the 3D emulation algorithm.” If you hear an in-game explosion behind you and turn your head, for example, the headset compensates, using “room emulation” that will continue to feed the sound from the same direction when you turn. Disappointingly, the headset needs to be connected via a USB wire to use 5.1 and above. The emulated 3D audio effect is top-notch, allowing you to hear in-game footsteps from the exact direction they come from, supporting both 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound modes. It uses Audeze Planar Magnetic drivers for superb sound quality. Audio headset company Audeze is aiming to make a splash in the gaming market with its upcoming Penrose headset for next-gen consoles, so I decided to try out another of its flagship products: the Mobius headphones.įrom a design standpoint, the Mobius is excellent.
