Product Information

For their performance, ROG Fusion II 300 + Fusion II 500 earned Advanced Design as well as Diamond recognition. However, the Asus ROG Strix Fusion 700 excels at atmospherics, really bringing out sounds that can often be overlooked or lost in the mix with more bombastic headsets, such as footsteps and falling bullet casings. 7.1 surround The inclusion of the Armoury Crate software also opens up many more audio-based avenues for you to explore with the Fusion II 500, including a bass boost and another function for increasing vocal clarity. You can even add some reverb to the audio, which isn’t something I’ve seen in gaming software before. The Asus ROG Strix Fusion 700 is a good-looking gaming headset with a premium design that will appeal to many gamers, without being too garish. You can also use it for non-gaming applications, like listening to music on your smartphone, without it standing out too much.

Various customization options, pre-set light effects, and multi-color RGB lighting with over 16.8 million colors Asus even throws in a second set of ‘hybrid’ ear cups that feature a mix of both leatherette and mesh in their design. In my experience, these offer a similar level of passive noise suppression compared to the standard ear cups that come fitted to the Fusion Wireless out-the-box, but they also help minimise heat (and by association sweat) build-up too. I immediately noticed the fabric cable and was pleased. I’ve always preferred these cords opposed to the ‘ pinch‘ and tear prone standard rubber/plastic cords. As for the microphone, it’s a usable albeit uneventful ingredient in the Strix Fusion Wireless’s recipe. Without prompting, recipients to my sultry tones neither complemented nor complained that they could or couldn’t hear me. The flexible nature of the boom ensures you can perfectly align the microphone to your mouth, and the ability to physically flip it up to mute it is a nice bit of tactile design. Since there’s no ENC (electronic noise cancellation) onboard, it’s doubly important that the ‘airtight chambers’ that Asus likes to shout about within the Strix Fusion line offer respectable amounts of passive noise cancellation too. Why buy the Asus ROG Strix Fusion Wireless?

Armoury Crate

Its latest gaming headset, the ROG Fusion II 500, is a mid to high-end effort that is wired (generally less hassle, in our opinion, since you don’t have to worry about battery life) and billed as suitable for any platform you fancy hooking it up to, including the current and previous generation of consoles, PC, tablets, and smartphones.

I also tried connecting it to my mid-2015 MacBook Air, and aside from the volume indicator briefly showing up on-screen, nothing actually came of plugging the dongle into the USB slot. Even diving into the audio input and output settings yielded nothing – but, on paper, the Strix Wireless supports Mac too. Turn up your game with the FUSION Gaming Headset. Featuring large 50mm drivers that deliver stereo sound, deep bass and crisp highs, via noise-isolating ear cups for the ultimate sound experience.Virtual 7.1 surround sound with hi-fi ESS 9280 Quad DAC ™and 50 mm ASUS Essence drivers that deliver powerful bass and immersive true-to-life sound The Strix Fusion 700 is primarily designed to be wired up to a PC, PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch via USB for immersive gaming. It also has built-in Bluetooth 4.2, which means you can use it wirelessly with any device that supports it, including smartphones. In the world of gaming peripherals, however, this doesn’t mean a huge amount. More often than not, subtlety is in shorter supply when this particular brand of product design is on the table. No need to fumble with the cable to adjust volume or mute since intuitive controls are integrated into the left earcup. Give the rotational wheel a smooth twist to adjust the volume and press the mute button to silence your mic as needed. The detachable mic stays where you want it, and 42” detachable 3.5mm audio cable simplifies storage. he quad-DACs and the beamforming microphones are in a league of their own, and it doesn’t matter what you’re doing, it’s going to sound absolutely astonishing
