"Best sound but it broke after 6 months of usage"
"Broke after 1 year"
"Great idea terribly cheap execution. This headset is only worth 150 bucks due to software design. How is it that these headphones don't even have a self turn off while my 25 dollar Taotronic headset from a few years ago do? Why is it that even when they are turned off and left to charge they are dead when i go to use them? killing me smalls. By the way, Im not going to change my rating because you just ask me too. You will actually fix the problem for me to change it."
"Easily the best sounding headphones at this price point, and the mic is actually great. Used them for gaming and for work almost daily since I got them in 2020. I wish I would have seen all the reviews of the design flaw, my band snapped just like everyone else's. Unfortunately you can't baby the part to extend the life, it just depends on how wide your head is which stresses the joint to the band. Only recommend for small heads, I guess."
"I just lost my fourth pair in 26 months to the headphone band plastic breaking. $400 headphones should last five years, not five months. The sound quality is spectacular, and the mic is really good, but Audeze has completely given up on good manufacturing. Switching back to my 11 year old pair, *AGAIN*, because they have a metal frame, so they don't constantly snap Customer service keeps losing my returns, so I guess I have to buy another pair of headphones I asked for help a week ago. I was told it was assigned to a senior person, and I haven't heard anything since I use these for work. I can't keep waiting like this I'm a twelve year customer, and I'm losing my ability to believe in this company"
"I had loved these headphones since I got them as a backer. I have babied these and they sound amazing. They recent broke at the Y holding the ear pads. Looked it up to see if they sold the replacement part. While looking it up I saw countless posts on reddit on people talking about how the break at the same spot as mine had. I cant image being a person with a bigger size head that put these on often since this is a failure point and the stress they are under. Audeze has a design flaw that other should not get stuck with and people need to know. Stay away from the Mobius untill its fixed or there are replacement parts."
"I have now had 2 different pairs of the mobius headphones, both ending up as paper weights. my most recent pair, the plastic just snaped so now it's in 2 pieces. Obviously, this is a glaring issue with the mobius and Penrose headphone surrounding their design flaws. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere or buying the Maxwell headphones since they are metal and seem to not be designed poorly. I will say with the issues that are out there with the design flaws these are still some of the best sounding headphones period. it is also a kick in the pants at the $400 price point that even though the plastic breaking is a very big issue that I was asked by Audeze to fork over another $115 for B-Stock replacement instead of acknowledging their design flaws and outright replacing my headset."
"Had a few years of great gaming audio with these. Superb sound and quality that really immerses yourself within the game. By far the best gaming headphones I've ever placed on my head to date. I cannot recommend these headphones enough! However, after a few years of use, the plastic just above the swivel has snapped on both sides. I simply glued one end back and was back running some online matches, but just a few months later the other side snapped as well and now the headphones are starting to flop around on my head. I'm not really upset over this since I have been using these headphones nearly every day and got such good mileage out of them, but my buds have had headphones for much longer and are still intact. It's a bit upsetting that they didn't last as long, especially for the price you pay for the headphones. I would gladly pay a little extra for some simple reinforcement or different material choice where there the headphones experience stress from flexing. But! I've been eyeing the model up, the LCD-GX... this might be my opportunity. If you're thinking of picking up the Mobius, you will not be disappointed. Just handle with care."
"I left a one star review on the sept 26th, 2022 called 'Excellent Sound Very poor quality'. One of Audeze representatives contacted immediately me via email and explained that the issue with the head-phones (weak holders above the earcup) was fixed. He then proceeded to offer me a mobius pair at a discounted price. He even took the time to call me and explain that they really are focused towards customer's satisfaction at Audeze. I received the Mobius pair today and it is really something special, excellent sound, comfortable and it has a Bluetooth feature. I really recommend these pair to anyone for their quality and for Audeze's aftercare."
"I purchased my Mobius over 2 years ago and they are still going strong. I use them mainly for gaming on my PC and have paired to my cell for music. For me without question these are the best headsets for what I need. Sound is Amazing and when I'm playing games like Resident Evil, I find myself looking behind my shoulder when I hear something in the background."
