I have a 512 OLED. No static or audio issues using headphones. I’m using small simple ones though.
Maybe it could vary depending on the impedance of the headphones?

However, I noticed I was getting audio crackles in game, after powering the device back on from sleep.
It absolutely boggles my mind that Valve hasn’t fixed this bug after YEARS.
Which is a shame, because that’s just an economy version of the Touareg that it replaced (which you can still buy outside the US).
Touareg is a beast. Basically a joint platform with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. Tows as much as a full size truck, in the form factor of a medium SUV.
VW has a history of making a crappier, less capable, uglier, and cheaper version of their best cars, and only offering the shitty one in the US.
I just finished playing it… But I never moved between devices, so I cannot confirm/deny.
However, the steam store page doesn’t show cloud support for it, so I would assume no, unless someone else can prove otherwise.
I actually specifically tried to hurry up and finish it before the OLED came out for this very reason. I don’t want to be in the middle of any huge games if I change to a new Steam Deck. Even with cloud support… it’s not 100% reliable in my experience.
Yeah, I don’t really get all the hate. The powerful windows handhelds are great if that’s what you’re looking for.
But like you said, nothing other than the Switch beats the Steam Deck’s sleep/resume reliability. I literally used it mid-cutscene in a japanese game (loooong, unpausable cutscenes) because my daughter cried out for help from the next room. Cutscene resumed just fine when waking it up a while later.
That’s really the only reason I haven’t considered some of the mower powerful handhelds. I need the flexibility and battery life more than I need the extra framerate or compatibility (I don’t play multiplayer games, for example, so lack of anti-cheat support is not an issue for me).
If I didn’t have such a huge Steam library with lots of good stuff in my backlog, I probably would have just stuck with the Switch as my main handheld, to be honest.
But the Deck is just sooo good as a middle ground between the things I love about PC gaming and the things I love about simple/Nintendo handheld gaming.
Definitely do get Hades.
One of the best games in years, and I played it on the Switch OLED. It looked amazing. It was the game I used to show off the OLED when people would ask to see the new Switch.
I’ll 1-up this.
In my area, there is a white Audi that has FULLY PAINTED over the inner half of his taillights. It’s a sedan, and the inner half of the lights goes up with the trunk lid. Those are body color white. So the car just has tiny outside taillights. It looks like “We have Audi at home” [insert pick of an ugly Audi-inspired Grand Theft Auto car].
