As a gamer, you want the best gaming experience and it's obvious that without the best gaming headset you canβt get the best gaming experience. So how would you decide on the best gaming headset?
The answer is quite simple. If the headset is highly comfortable. If the headset delivers an immersive sound and it fits well then itβs undoubtedly the great gaming headset. Of course, features matter a lot but these three points are the most important. If you are searching for the best gaming headset then check these three points. Comfort, Immersive sound, and fit.
I was looking for the same kind of gaming headset to heighten my gaming experience and I got an Audeze Mobius gaming headset. I googled a lot and then I made my purchase decision. I donβt say itβs perfect. But I am convinced that itβs good for my thrilling gaming sessions. But it has some cons which I do expect that makers will eliminate in future. So without delay letβs review the Audeze Mobius gaming headset.

Bottom Line:
Audeze Mobius is a feature-rich gaming headset. It has everything that makes it a good gaming headphone. The build is solid along with a clean design. Except for that extra weight, I found them comfortable. Earpads are made up of replaceable memory foam.
Padding is thick and ear cups are large enough that eliminate the outside noise and sound leakage. Clamping force hasn't bothered me much. Yes! It was a little bit uncomfortable for the first few days but when I got used to it Audeze Mobius was comfortable to wear.
Now the most important point. How does Audeze Mobius sound? I would say it's a good gaming headset as well as good for watching movies. But don't consider them a great audiophile headset. As Audeze advertised they delivered their best.
Great 3D sound, deeper Bass, surprisingly wide soundstage. The only minor con is a little bit less accurate imaging. But if you are a person who loves a natural sound then Audeze Mobius is not your cup of tea. Last but the most important question. Is this a value for the money? Yes! It is the value for the money product. Great sound, high comfort, and nice fit along with so many features that take your gaming experience to the next level. I would happily recommend Audeze Mobius.
Peerless Sound Quality
How is the Design and Build Quality of Audeze Mobius?
Build: build quality is very good. Audeze Mobius is entirely made up of plastic. It is coated with silicon rubberized material that looks awesome. Audeze Mobius has a simple and clean design that also gives a premium look.
Mobius weighs 350g that also includes the weight of the battery. Package Includes a detachable microphone, USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-A to USB-C cable, Analog 3.5mm cable, and a travel bag.
It has an adjustable headband with a slider mechanism. to adjust the headband size, you need a little bit of effort. The slider was a little tighter when it was new. After a few days of use, it was working smoothly. Earpads are rotatable that rotate up to 90 degrees. Design and build wise it's very good. I would give 9 out of 10 for the build.
Comfort: Comfort is the most important quality you must look for when you are buying a gaming headset. Is Audeze Mobius comfortable? It's comfortable but not highly comfortable. Why did I say that? I have a couple of points to tell you about its comfort.
The first point is it's slightly heavy. Many people don't like heavy headsets. The second point is the clamping force of the headband. For long gaming sessions, you may feel a little bit uncomfortable due to more weight and clamping force.
Artificial leather is used with memory foam. Ear cups are big enough to give the perfect sealing and memory foam is plush and soft that doesn't bother your ears. As I said, I have mixed feelings about its comfort. The headband is not that much comfortable but the earpads are extremely comfortable. I will give it 8 out 0f 10 for its comfort.
Audeze Mobius Premium 3D Gaming Headset
How is the Head-Tracking?
Head-Tracking is an important feature while playing games. It simply means a change in direction of sound according to your head movement. In Audeze Mobius they have used Waves NX Head-Tracking that gives a competitive advantage.
This Head-Tracking worked so well for me that I felt for a moment I am really in that location while playing the game. Though this technology isn't needed in every game it heightened the joy while playing. It was a great experience. Well done Audeze Mobius.

Is Audeze Mobius good for watching Movies?
Audeze said that they focused on 2 areas while designing Mobius. One is gaming and another is a movie. So let's find out is Audeze Mobius is a perfect headset for enjoying movies or it's just a marketing?
As they said, Audeze Mobius truly delivered cinematic 3D sound with NX technology which gave an awesome feeling while watching a movie.
Bass is awesome But there are some cons of this cinematic 3D sound technology or just say I observed it with Mobius. It lacks clarity. If you want that cinematic 3D audio experience you will not regret having this awesome audio gear but at the same time, you may miss a little bit of clarity, detailing, and natural sound.
But if you ask me my opinion I would sacrifice natural sound or a little bit of clarity for this awesome 3D sound.
Awesome Movie Experience
How is the Sound Performance of Audeze Mobius?
It has a good sound quality for general listening and gaming purposes. The Vocals are clean and good. Bass is deep and powerful. The soundstage is pretty nice. I have just one complaint about its imaging accuracy. I did find the lack of accuracy while playing.
If you watch the performance from an audiophile's point of view you may find some drawbacks but if you watch it with the gamer's eye it's fantastic. Audeze Mobius is also great for watching movies with its deep and immersive bass and slightly bright treble. Except for less accurate imaging, I found everything is working fine.
Integrated Head Tracking and Sound Localization
3d Audio: There are 3 modes of 3D operation. 1) 3D manual 2) 3D Automatic 3) 3D off. In manual mode, you need to specify the direction of the central reference point. to get the best result keep your head at the center and press the 3D button.
In the automatic mode, the centering button will be disabled and the NX algorithm automatically detects the center of audio as per your movement. This automatic mode is very useful for those who travel often. The 3rd mode is 3D off mode. If you don't want the 3D experience this mode will do the job for you.
Audeze has done the best job in this department. I was feeling that sound coming towards me from all directions. I mean I am in the middle of the ring and the sound is coming from 360-degree. But sometimes it was a little bit difficult to judge the exact distance of the enemy. Except for this, I would say it was a fantastic experience. Well done Audeze Mobius.
Mic test: Mic is good but not great. It eliminates the outside noises but it couldn't do it perfectly. communicating with your teammates it's good but it certainly lacks something that it shouldn't and especially at this price point.
How is the Connectivity of Audeze Mobius?
Audeze Mobius comes with 3 types of cables. USB-C to USB-C, USB-A to USB-C, and Analog 3.5mm cable. All cables are made up of good quality material but they are a little bit shorter. Both USB cables are 1.5m long whereas the 3.5mm Analog cable is 1.2m long.
I must not forget to tell you that Audeze Mobius can be used in both ways. You can use it with a USB or analog cable and it also can be used with Bluetooth. Another special point I want to mention here is there is an internal DSP and AMP built-in headset that processes 3D audio and other things like 7.1 virtual surround sound and these processes need power which is provided by the internal battery of the headset. So you make sure the battery is fully charged otherwise you won't get the desired audio.
Bluetooth codecs: Let's see which Bluetooth codecs work with Audeze Mobius. It supports SBC, AAC, and LDAC codecs. If your source is Android, it works fine almost with all codec.
Now let's have a look at its control buttons. The power button is located at the left ear cups. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds for ON and OFF. Almost all control buttons are at left ear cups including analog and USB connections.
Bluetooth range: Now let's talk about the Bluetooth range. Bluetooth connectivity is just ok. I experienced interruption many times when I went a little bit away from my source. Overall I found that Mobius works slightly better when it's in wired mode.
How is the Charging and Battery performance of Audeze Mobius?
Battery backup is almost 9.5 hrs and it took almost 3 hours for full charging which is not good for long gaming sessions. Especially if it has so many features backup should be stronger but 10 hrs is not enough in my point of view.
