As usual, the brand Asus ROG presents itself on the market by offering exceptional products, which aim to successfully satisfy the most demanding users, especially as regards the gaming world. Among its lineup we also find several headphones, which guarantee aggressive and particular designs, together with various peculiarities and an always satisfactory background quality. We want to investigate today the Asus ROG Delta, high-end gaming headphones, available in black and white colors, which in the face of a rather high cost (we are talking about almost € 200 at present) promise really well. We have had the opportunity to try them in different game sessions, as well as with further uses, and we are here to tell you about them. It is a versatile product, which adapts to all environments and not only to the PC world, we discover all the details in the next lines.
The versatility of the Asus ROG Delta
Once the package is opened, as for the aggressively designed ROG products, we find the headphones, the microphone, two additional earpads and a USB C to USB 2.0 adapter. This is where the first surprise comes, the versatility of the headphones is guaranteed by a basic attack of type C, therefore suitable for new generation consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X), as well as for phones. We anticipate it right away, their cost is also given by the guarantee of being able to enjoy an excellent product in really every field, which is really rare. The headphones already have two pads for the mounted pavilions, these have Memory Foam padding and genuine leather upholstery, the latter present in the box are instead covered with fabric. The contents of the package certainly do not scream miracle, but it has all the essentials to be able to use them.
The Asus ROG Delta weigh 387 grams, luckily they have a well padded headband that does not make this detail weigh even for long gaming sessions. They present themselves as well sturdy, perfect to last over time, you immediately notice that they will certainly not go into a thousand pieces with a few falls. The plastic used does indeed have premium feedback, just like the design. Their name, Delta, recalls the letter of the Greek alphabet for a specific reason: the D-shape of the pavilions. These are decidedly more comfortable than the usual ovals and circles for those who do not have particularly large ears, but they could bring discomfort for these users. Can't miss the LED, placed on the ROG logo of the pavilions and on the perimeter of the same, fully configurable by the Armory II software which we will discuss later. The controls are few but essential, excellent for avoiding confusion, in fact it is only possible to adjust the volume, change the microphone and disable the RGB LEDs. But what headset would it be without sound?
Premium headphones, not to be underestimated
Asus ROG Delta headphones come with Quad-DAC ESS 9218 SABER di ESS Tecnology, that is a converter able to process all frequencies with excellent results. The audio drivers are this time of 50mm with neodymium magnet, this is an Asus Essence detail. Thanks to these specifications, the headset allows a cleaning of the general audio, which is perfect especially once the 7.1 surround is correctly activated, which allows excellent localization of noise for competitive games and for more immersive experiences. Even listening to music, or any other type of sound, the user will hardly be disappointed, even if given their versatility the headphones may be less recommended for those who want a specific type of listening other than gaming. The result is also excellent with regard to the microphone, which can be attached and removed via jack, which allows clean communications, at least for those who do not have exaggerated claims.
Last but certainly not least is the software Armory II, which together with the hub Armory Crate it allows to modify each single parameter. Let's talk about the 7.1 Surround activation to begin with, but also about the possibility of modifying every single minutia of the audio, in order to adapt the headphones for each use, which always manages to be fully satisfied. The usual standard parameters are also present, perfect for users who want a quality audio in general, without particularly going crazy with the settings. The same also applies to the microphone, accompanied by some options such as the Noise Gate and the Perfect Voice, and adjustable just like for the incoming audio.
