ASUS STRIX 7.1 Gaming Headset,Black

I LOVE this headset because it allows me to listen to the 8 channel (7.1) format "Surround Sound" Digital Albums of Contemporary Christian Music that I give away for Free on Social Media. They are Compatible with my other two sound systems operating on my Windows 10 Pro (64 bit) equipped PC. They are Extremely Comfortable to wear. They have Phenomenal Sound Quality due to the 10 Individual Speakers (5 in each earcup). The sound volume for each pair of speakers is exceedingly simple to adjust. As a Whole, they sound better and have the Frequency Response of Headphones costing Twice As Much in comparison. The ONLY drawback I've found is that they require two USB 2.0 ports if a user desires to use the Built-in Noise Cancellation Feature located in the Console which does an Excellent Job of outside noise cancellation. One more Plus that's Important to mention is that they come with a Detachable Boom Microphone with Outstanding Sensitivity which is Exceedingly Clear in Sound Quality for use with applications like Skype. I Highly Recommend this Headset for any Audiophile looking for Exceptional Sound Quality in listening to DVD Quality Music at a Very Affordable Price!

I have owned Zalman 5.1s, Psyko 5.1s, Logi G35s, and Tritton 5.1s (among others, less relevant to this review).Great: Quality of the base, interface, connectors, and driver.Great: Quality of the headset design, function, and comfort.Great: Quality of the audio, options, volume, clarity, and performance.I now prefer wearing these even when I don't need to isolate my game sounds from the outside world. The external audio isolation is really top notch, and nearly up to what some active noise cancelling headphones provide. The stretchiness of the tension band is just about perfect for me.My ONLY complaint would be that while the level indicators have lights on the top of the control base, the function switch dial on the face does NOT have any illumination. It's hard to see in a dark gaming environment which selection mode you are in. Very minor and solved with a small lamp. ;)

Pros:- One of the most singularly comfortable headsets I've ever worn. The overhead strap is attached by elastic bands, so it automatically tensions and adjusts for your head position without the sliders that most headsets have. Weight is well balanced. Ear cups fit snugly but without excessive pressure, and fully wrap my ears (which are larger than average, a difficulty in many around-the-ear headsets).- Sound quality is superb. The directionality of the 7.1 is excellent, and the headset has easy tuning of each channel volume (including subwoofer and microphone) right on the base station.- Base station includes a connector for up to 7.1 speakers via a 3.5mm jack bundle. It then has a button on the base station to easily toggle between headset and speaker output. This is amazing for those that prefer to use speakers when not on voice comms, as you don't need to disconnect/reconnect the headset or change your default sound default to facilitate the swap (which is particularly nice for games that don't handle changing sound devices well).- Cables are high quality, with a braided exterior, though they may be a bit short. Both the headset -> base station and base station -> computer cables are ~5" in length.- Microphone has a very well designed adjustment style. It can be moved around easily and broadly, but still retains its position solidly. It's also detachable.Cons:- Mine creaks a bit when I move (brand new).- The lighting is pretty basic by the standards of gaming headsets. Only has two modes, "on" or "breathing" (a 4-5 second pulsing cycle from off to on and back)- Base station main wheel works oddly. It has distinctive and tactile "clicks" in it's rotation, but volume only goes up every 5-7 clicks. Same goes for some of the other option modes, takes a few clicks for it to change, when it would seem intuitive for each click to represent a state change.- Speaker output is weak. The built in amplifier doesn't work on the speaker output, and the volume from that speaker output is considerably lower than my computer's output through its on-board soundcard. Ended up just turning up the speakers, though.- Poorly documented. The user manual that comes with the headset doesn't explain a number of the features on the headset (like Spectrum mode).- Base station generates odd low-volume white noise over speakers when in headset mode, which is amplified when I turn on my desk light. May be low-quality or factory-damaged insulation on the cables (or my speaker cables, but issue is not present when speakers are plugged directly into my computer).- Requires 2 USB ports. Not really that big of a deal, but is not annotated in the item description.Conclusion: Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. Definitely a worthwhile headset.

I picked up a pair of these headphones back on March 1, 2017. They sound great, although the microphone is lacking, however that's been pointed out in numerous other reviews. The 7.1 is satisfying to listen to, and for gaming (which is what I purchased them for) it offers more awareness through sound. They're decently comfortable, but after a few hours of use I tend to have to put on a hat, or end up with sensitive parts of my scalp. All in all, I would of marked this as a 4/5 product, however as of today, 19 Aug 2017, one of the swivels has broken, and is dangling by the cord. I'm surprised as I haven't put the set through any sort of out of the ordinary use and handling, but on the interior is the little plastic piece that allows the cups to swivel, and that was what broke. As of now, they're no longer secure to my ears, and one side hangs by the cord. After 5 1/2 months of use, I had expected more out of this product for the amount I paid.

Muy buen producto, con una fidelidad de sonido bastante buena, los materiales con los que está hecho son bastantes buenos, ya solo mejoraría la intensidad del volumen que para aquellos que escuchan las cosas un poco subidas de tono les serviría, me gustaría que tuviera compatibilidad con más dispositivos ya que no trae conexión plug fuera de eso lo recomiendo bastante

Bought for my son in July last year. Was concerned then that the construction was flimsy. And also creaking noise when you move your head. Now a cup has broken off due to flimsy plastic connection. These headphones look stylish but the quality is poor. Style over substance.

Ho acquistato l'headset dal venditore CHIPOFFICE in offerta allo strabiliante prezzo di 89,90, quando il prezzo minimo che si trovava su internet era di circa 180euro.Il prezzo cosi' bassi mi aveva fatto pensare ad un errore nella descrizione del modello ma avendo fatto delle verifiche, sembravano proprio le 7.1, allora ho pensato che fossero usate ma l'inserzione parlava proprio di un oggetto NUOVO, cosi' ho tentato l'acquisto.Le cuffie sono arrivate nel tempo definito ma al momento dell'apertura mi sono reso conto che le cuffie erano effettivamente USATE: in particolare solo uno dei due lati degli auricolari aveva ancora le pellicole protettive e le bustine che contenevano i cavi erano strappate e non sigillate.Mi ero quasi preparato a questa aventualita' quindi, visto il prezzo comunque molto allettante, ho deciso di testarle.Sia le cuffie che il controller hanno funzionato regolarmente. L'impatto acustico e' stato strabiliante! Il 7.1 reale e' fantastico e i bassi sono veramente ben riprodotti e abbondanti. Il microfono si sente alla perfezione. Unica nota negativa e' che l'archetto non e' regolabile e secondo me stringono un po' troppo e sono un po' fastidiose gia' dopo l'ora di utilizzo.Alla fine le ho tenute perche' il prezzo di 90 euro mi e' andato bene anche per un usato, ma il venditore non e' stato assolutamente corretto a scrivere che l'articolo era NUOVO e non USATO (o quantomeno aperto).In definitiva:5 stelle alla qualita' audio sia di riproduzione che del microfono.3 stelle alla comodita', perche' anche se morbide e fatte con materiali di ottima qualita', stringono un po' troppo e non sono regolabili.1 stella al venditore CHIPOFFICE che vende prodotti usati descrivendoli come nuovi anche se ad un prezzo ragionevole (per un prodotto usato)

購入して10ヶ月ちょっと経ちました。この他にSONY MDR-HW700DS、ロジクール G430、RAZER SURROUND PRO（有償版）で様々なヘッドフォンも試しました。Tiamatを持ってる知人とも色々情報交換をしました。結論的には7.1ch対応ゲームをするなら現時点では当機が「サラウンド定位性」、「音の成分再現」、「遅延の無さ」において最強と言うことです。（※あくまでもゲーム側が7.1ch対応をしている場合です←添付画像参照。中には7.1ch非対応ゲームであれこれ言う人も見受けられますｗ）当初は少し高額かなと思いましたが、サウンドカードと高音質ヘッドフォンを買ったりすることを考えるとコスパもそこそこだと思います。Windows標準ドライバ使用のため16bitDVD音質なのでハイレゾ音源はもちろん、製品目的外の音楽鑑賞には適しませんｗヘッドフォン部はエージングが必要です。数十時間で本来の音が出るようになると思います。購入当初はあまりの音質の悪さにDFX Audio Enhancer（有償版）を購入しエフェクトやイコライザーの調整をしましたが、1ヶ月ほどでそれも不要になりました。（独自にイコライザーをかけたい場合はDFX Audio Enhancer導入で可能です）片側にドライバが5個存在するため必然的にイヤーパッドが大きく製品が重くなる。ドライバ径が異なるため音の移動に伴ってドライバが切り替わる時に音質・音量が変化する。各ドライバの音量レベル調整が必要。などリアル7.1chならではの問題点もありますが、7.1chゲームを極めたいなら現状ではこれ一択です。

I never realized how pc gaming can sound by using headsets, but this headset by Asus is incredible!I tried the different sound settings with various games that I play (the best sound feature was when I'm playing The Evil Within)I highly recommend this headset for anyone looking for clear crisp surround sound...it will deliver!
