I have never written an Amazon review before but this headsets score is way to low. It is an excellent headset that I would highly recommend except for 2 specific reasons thatās someone might not like it. 1. The headset is quite large so if you have a small head definitely stay away. I have a medium to a large head and itās still fairly loose on me even on its tightest setting. Secondly the headset is not great at keeping our external audio so if you are in a loud environment or you want serious noise cancelling this isnāt the headset for you. Besides those 2 points this thing is excellent the audio is great, the software is great (besides the sleep function not working currently hoping it gets patched soon), the comfort is top notch, and the microphone is crystal clear. Coming from a Razor Kraken v3 pro this thing is a huge step up and itās a joy to use. The battery life is also insane I have had it for over 2 weeks and haven’t charged it once itās still at 50% and thatās using it all day. Definitely worth the purchase.

I have been testing this headset for 2 weeks now. This headset is definitely very feature rich but there are some things that may deter people away from keeping this headset. The Pro’s mostly outweigh the cons if you don’t mind a little tinkering.
Pros:
1. Very light weight – one of the lightest headsets I have tried
2. Construction feels very premium despite its light weight. Has Aluminum Yokes for even better construction confidence.
3. The mic is very good with a caveat that I will point out in the con section.
4. Sound is decent enough with a caveat that I will point out in the con section.
5. Simultaneous Bluetooth – i wish more headsets in this price range has this..
6. Multiple earpads included
7. Battery Life tremendous. – rated for 110 hours with RGB off
8. RGB is clean and not too in your face if you choose to turn it on.
9. Compact USB C dongle unlike steelseries nova headsets
Now… for the cons.
1. No built-in memory for EQ saving – despite what some reviewers say. I tested this across 3 different pcs. Maybe it’ll save going from PC to console. But from one PC to another PC, doesnt seem to work for me. Let’s say you to install armory crate on a laptop to change your EQ settings. The settings will not save if you then move the dongle to your main PC. I have yet to test this on console.
2. Microphone – I did multiple recording (maybe window’s sound recorder and discord sucks) and the microphone is LOUD as hell. Also, it sounds too boomy? I had to turn on voice gate to reduce the volume. Also, noise rejection is quite bad, it picks up everything lol. Turning up noise gate and noise rejection helps , but it makes your voice sound more compress?
3. Sound – it sounds pretty good with ONE big caveat. You have to make sure you go into your sound settings and DISABLE all enhancements. Theres something called Bongiovi Acoustics/audio enhancements that’s adding some weird special effects to the sound making it sounds super tinny. The treble becomes super harsh with this on. Tested this on two different computers. I believe when you install armoury crate – this gets installed too. Tried this on a windows 10 vs windows 11 and it had the same problem. Turning it off reverts the sound back to normal. Also, it does not get as loud as other headsets such cloud III wireless and logitech g pro x (using windows drivers).
4. ARMOURY Crate- is needed to do any customization..
5. Last Con is the “after purchase” support. As we know Asus does not have a great reputation for warranty support so take that for what u will. For a device where people constantly take on/off their head daily, the chance of damage is greater so after purchase support may be something to look out for.

Iām not a huge audio person but I casually game and listen to music. Iāve always used steel series headsets but wanted to find something with a good mic. Stumbled on this and bought it based on YouTube reviews. Sound is great, mic is great, and itās super easy to use. The crazy part is this headset just came out in October 2024 and itās already one of the best. Glad I took the chance thanks Asus!

For the price you get light high quality headset with a mic that actually sounds good

Great sound quality, amongst the best I’ve ever heard in a gaming headset. But, the sidetone/microphone monitoring is extremely muffled and not loud enough. Armoury Crate software still needs to fix this.

One of the worst things I have purchased. This may be a good product? I dont know. I could not get this headset to work with my pc to save my life. There were literally 0 instructions on how to tell you to set it up with your pc. 0. I wish I was kidding. I was already upset and when I finally got a hold of support, they were not wanting to help me set it up, but simply told me over and over to make sure device was not in bluetooth mode. Which trust me, its literally a switch. I did not have bluetooth on. Was just very frustrating buying a product that has 0 instruction on how to set it up. Backed by a support team that doesnt listen. I returned the item and instead got Arctis Nova Proās which actually had detailed instructions and I am now loving. These Asus may be a good product. But, whoeverās idea it was to include 0 instructions is a moron. Got returned and am so happy with my different product.

I purchased this because I wanted something better than my Hyper X Cloud II. I have multiple ASUS products and thought this might provide something similar in value and audio efficiency with the addition of Bluetooth. (Keep in mind I also tried the wired connection as well.) However, after finally getting the headset to connect to my PC, I was in shock at how poor quality the audio was for a “Gaming Headset”. I wouldn’t mind checking to see if this was perhaps a defective item, but if this was the best to offer here I want a complete refund.
