ASUS Gaming Headset ROG Theta 7.1 | Ai Noise Cancelling Headphones with Mic | ROG Home-Theatre-Grade 7.1 DAC, and Aura Syn RGB Lighting,Black

I've been using Hyper-x alpha for about a year. It was relatively light and simple, but always gave me headache due to its tightness; especially with glasses on. So, I've been looking for something else that sounds decent and glasses friendly.This sure is little bulky, but not as bulky as razers gaming headsets I think. Because of its enough cushions and comfort it gives while wearing, I don't feel its entire weight on my head that much and I can wear this for a long periods of time. I'm not a sound expert, but its sound-quality is definitely better than Hyper-x alpha. Its surround sound is pretty impressive. This is my first high-end headset and with 7.1 surround sound. Cheaper headsets with 7.1 surround sound always had huge compromises on the sound quality, but this one seems to have fulfilled the high-quality sound. It feels like I'm wearing pairs of decent speakers.Its setting can be adjusted with their dedicated app and it works, but I'm not so sure about its noise cancelling mic. I think it would be nice if they provide something like a tutorial for customizing the headset with the app in detail because I don't know if the noise cancelling mic is actually working or not.I thought this one also would have a little bit of noise cancelling on the audio/speaker, but unfortunately, it didn't block any noise nor sounds coming from the headset. So forget about playing games while wearing this in a place like library and expect people not to hear you game.However, overall, its price makes sense. Built with good plastics, aluminum/metal-ish material, and aesthetically compact despite of its sound-quality; and USB type-c at that.The wire, wire . its wire is something I had to get used to because most of the products that I've used so far, that had only one wire on the either left of right, but this one has two on the both sides. And it feels like you're wearing a headset and also a necklace that's hanging on your headset. I guess both wires were required for its power. I wouldn't give this headset up just because it has two wires.Buttons on the headset itself is also a nice touch. I'm glad that they didn't put the buttons on the wire. That would've been so annoying.RGB lighting is unnecessary and generates a bit of surface heat, but it looks primum and you also have option on the button to turn this feature off.In terms of sizing, it seems pretty versatile.I've never used any audio products from Asus & ROG. This is good purchase. Good thing I didn't rush over to get a replacement for my hyper-x alpha right away. I waited for this headset to be release for about a month. Now I don't get headache b/c of freaking headset. I hate you Hyper-x alpha. it tortured my head for a year, and now I'm a free man

LISTEN....IM GOING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH! I have been on the hunt for the best sounding headset I could find. I have tried SteelSeries NOVA PROS/ Audio-technica/Corsair/JBL/Razor. Along with others. And hands down these are the best headphones I have ever heard. When I dropped into Warzon 2.0 it blew my mind. I Literally said (OH MY GOSH) Just unreal.For instance in Warzone with other headsets I could always hear other players for steps when they were close. But I could never pin point where they were exactly. Left/Right/UP/Down.These are true 7.1 surround sound. No BS Virtual surround sound or spital surround sound. That is because they have 4 drivers (Speakers) per headphone Total of 8. So there is 4 speakers on each side of your ear. With these headphones I can finally here exactly where the other players are now. Even if there on the floor above me to the right. I can finally Distinguish where for once.Listen if your looking for the Best sounding gaming headset...then you have found it. It does have a trade off on the mic though. It doesn't have the specs as good as a SteelSeries NOVA PROS. But it's a still great mic. I asked my friends online which mic sounded the best. Even given the Steel Series has a better mic on paper. But my friend said that this Asus Theta 7.1 sounded the best. And I can confirm this thing is a BEAST!TRUST ME I HAVE HIGH STANDARDS!IF YOUR ON THE FENCE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND JUST CHECK THEM OUT. IT WILL BE A GREAT CHOICE.CHEERS 🍻

Love the headset for gaming, great sound and mic quality and fantastic 3D sound. Only cons, it is on the heavy side and the band broke on it eventually, but it's still usable, just threw some ducktape on there to keep it secure

My brother uses these as his main for Xbox and he abuses them. They are still working after a few years though. He has a bigger head and the size fits him snug. For value it’s great. They are very comfortable (or so I am told) after many hours of use gaming.

When I connect this headset to my iPhone (SE 2020) through the USB camera adaptor, my iPhone says the headset uses too much power. The same issue happens to my wife's iPhone (XR) when I use her iPhone to test this headset. This headset has no other ways, e.g., Bluetooth or 3.5mm aux, to connect to iPhone. This is the main reason I return this headset because I want to play COD Mobile with good positionality.Also, my headset is a bit different from the description. The switch button is not labeled "7.1 surround | stereo mode" as the description. The switch button is labeled "PC/NB | Phone."Other than that, my MacBook Pro can set up this headset as 7.1 or 5.1.2 (Atmos). My wife's HP can also set up 7.1. However, the sound position is not distinct in both laptops. We cannot tell the different positions of each channel other than left, right, and center.The headset is comfortable. We have big heads but do not feel the headset pressing on our heads or ears.For PS4, I have to set the switch button to "Phone" instead of "PC/NB" so that PS4 can recognize this headset.The box says this headset is compatible with smart devices but does not work with iPhones. Asus should change the description to avoid being sued for false advertisements.
