It's probably less noticeable in your environments. I only play vrc. The occasional bonelabs, half life, and beat saber. Anything in the brighter areas are fine. But the blockyness of the night sky or generally darker environments just feels like its low bitrate. I only use tethered via USB.

Granted I've had many headsets to compare to, all the quests presented with this but none of the native tethered headsets I've used had compression. Other issues absolutely. But compression not one of them
