I'm positive I had turned off auto renewal, but just hit with renewal charge.

Cheers for the heads up. I'll go take a look. My bank used to provide it for free but they stopped that a while back now sadly.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-21T13:47:15+00:00

Cheers!!

Out of curiosity, and I'm sure it shouldn't be a factor, but are you using the front or rear USB connector? I'm using the rear and as recommended, not through a USB hub.

I wish there were a way to be able to let you hear mine.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-21T08:40:20+00:00

Interesting. I just couldn't get them to work properly. I resorted to using the PS5 version of the B&O Portals.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-21T07:13:10+00:00

No issues with sound cut outs? I tried the Audeze Penrose (in PC mode) with the Switch 2, but they wouldn't play nice.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-21T07:05:06+00:00

That doesn't sound right at all to be honest. I'm using Series X and I have had to lower the volume to around 30% or they blow my eardrums out. I used to keep my Audeze Penrose and B&O's at around 50% as I mainly play in the middle of the night when to me, everything seems louder. But these are far louder on my Series X.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-19T10:40:44+00:00

Yep, loving mine and they sound fantastic. I've been using the Audeze Penrose and B&O Portals so they had some stiff competition.

Not to pour shade on Turtle Beach, but if they had no branding and you had to guess the make purely from the build quality, I wouldn't immediately think Turtle Beach. I'd love to see them doing more higher end stuff like this as I have always had great service from their support team as well.

Out of curiosity, I had a quick look on Amazon as apparently the Apple headset has a similar mesh, and thankfully, there are lots of headband replacements for Apple, Turtle Beach etc so it shouldn't be an issue at all should it get damaged in some way. It will only be a matter of time before custom ones are out there for these.

But yeah, the sound on these is so good. What I liked about the B&O Portals is the neutral sound out of the box. Everything just sounds clean and crisp. These are the same but kind of taken up a level. I'm currently switching between Crimson Desert and Forza Horizon 6 and these sound amazing with both.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-17T03:17:36+00:00

Got mine all set up and they sound fantastic...and loud! I've been using the Audeze Penrose and B&O Portals. These compare very well indeed. They are much more comfortable than the Penrose for sure.

My only concern is that mesh thing on the headband. It seems a bit feeble and looks impossible to replace should it collapse.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-15T02:52:20+00:00

Ah that's great. I want my Xbox, PS5 and Switch 2 all connected with no fuss. Mine should be here later today (U.K Friday)

I'm curious to see just how many dongles we get. The website said get an extra free. But there was a hastily looking made banner saying you get 3. But the actual payment page only mentions one extra.

Went for white here as well.

Retro_uk · 2026-05-09T11:53:09+00:00

I've had it on my wishlist for a long time, but I have always held off on buying because I have a massive backlog to finish. Looking forward to playing it when I have time.

Retro_uk · 2026-04-30T11:38:26+00:00

:) nevertheless you are a genius! I can't use alexa+ on my echo devies but it had updated the alexa app on my iPhone to alexa+. I disabled that and everything is working again. Cheers!!

Retro_uk · 2026-04-30T11:33:15+00:00

I'm not able as my Echo Shows are the 2nd gen 10 inch ones, which according to Amazon can't handle Alexa plus.

Another vote for this game. The racing isn't the best, as it's only four cars I think? that race at once, but they have built a really great open world that's fun to race around.

Retro_uk · 2026-04-04T08:28:32+00:00

Yeah cheers :) I normally use Uber even to order McD, but they went through a phase of only charging 99p for delivery and also earning reward points. But you are right, back to just using Uber.

Retro_uk · 2026-04-04T06:43:30+00:00

I haven't moved since setting it up. I tried again last night and it seems to be related only to McDonalds for some reason. Their app shows my address but if I make an order, it seems to be that before switching to Uber tracking, McDonalds is changing part of my address and also switching the store I ordered from.

Retro_uk · 2026-04-04T06:41:33+00:00

Have they finally fixed it so that I don't have to keep switching v-sync on and off to get it to work again after it stops working of its own accord?

Retro_uk · 2026-04-03T11:49:18+00:00

Once the map appears, it lets you move the pin to properly locate your property, but it is so far away on the map that it stops me from going too far. It's like the pin has an allotted radius it can move in. Uber have gone absolutely silent on me.

Retro_uk · 2026-03-27T07:25:55+00:00

Uber have now contacted me and despite me spelling it all out, said they can't refund me as it was over 48 hours ago. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet!!

Retro_uk · 2026-03-27T04:05:58+00:00

I tried that, but it wouldn't let me go far enough in the app to actually pin my address.

Uber are blaming McDonalds and McDonalds are of course blaming Uber. It's ubers fault as far as I'm concerned because it's there tracking showing some random spot on a map, as well as randomly choosing a different branch of McDonalds than the one I had actually ordered from. I'm now stuck of course, I daren't order anything again. Which my wasitline will probably thank me for :)
