These headphones were heavily promoted, and practically everyone claimed that they were excellent for both music and video games. Unfortunately, the software can't fix their horrible sound. Asus does not know why this is happening, and as usual, they advise you to reinstall their proprietary software with firmware, but when you are simply sitting and listening to music, the volume suddenly rises sharply up to 100% with a gain of 4 times. This problem plagued me for another year of use. This is not a comfortable situation. While the headphones were used practically daily exclusively for a PC and hung on a stand, the headband almost completely cracked in a year. The first Krakens lived for three years. Asus is no longer a cake, and I believe the freshly released second version is at least as bad.
