Review on Computer headset ASUS ROG Delta Type-C, black by Micha Kumicki ᠌
Money down the drain, poor quality product.
After reading so many reviews about how awesome the headset sounded, I anticipated an entirely different sound from a 12k headset. I am aware that positioning in games is the main purpose, but I don't think giving up everything else for a flimsy or fictitious edge is worthwhile. Overall, the Siberia 200, HyperX Cloud, and even the Logitech G430 have better sound quality yet cost two to three times less. I made the personal decision that from now on, I will only spend $500 on regular stereo headphones and a separate microphone since, no matter how expensive they are, "gaming" headsets are completely useless.
Pros
- High-quality construction, an illuminated fireback, replaceable earpads, and an awesome microphone
Cons
- They don't sit on the head very well, and the software (Asus Rog Armory) is really awful; it continually crashes when you try to modify something and only works in about half of the programs. The built-in surround is something of a joke because in the test, the front virtual "column" sounded exactly like the center and rear ones. The bass is cool, but the music sounds incredibly flat, at times the sound hurts the ears, and some heavy mitol turns into mush at high levels over normal. Both classical guitar and drumming are enjoyable. I'm at a loss for words when it comes to games. Without equalizer twists, they sound like typical headphones; with equalizer twists and surround, they sound peculiar; you can hear better, but it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where the music is coming from. This may be a matter of habit, or perhaps the program may not be compatible with my machine. I returned it to the shop so as not to tempt fate.
