Asus ROG Delta S Review

 

The Asus ROG Delta S has the complete package. Creates a nuanced and clear sound. Its triangular RGB-lit cans have a unique look that makes a strong impression. It is light on the head so it is easy to wear. The new premium headset from Asus even has a few extra features such as rendering support that allows you to take full advantage of special MQA music files. Despite a few clunky little details, the Delta S packs in all the essential aspects of an advanced PC gaming headset.

Asus ROG Delta S - design and features

The Asus ROG Delta S takes some significant technical improvements, but the headphone design is largely a holdover from the original ROG Delta headset released in 2019. With vaguely triangular "D"-shaped earcups lined with RGB stripes and logos. , its bright and eye-catching appearance has great power. Even with the lights off, the design of the Delta S looks like a statement piece that needs to stand out.

The Delta S is mainly equipped with black plastic hardware with a plastic and steel frame. The top band is covered in black faux leather with the full "Republic of Gamers" name printed on the top and padded with memory foam. The forks connect to the swivel bases on the top band, allowing the jars to lie flat on the chest (or on the table). At 294 grams, it feels light on your head and the padding keeps you from feeling the weight on top of your head. Similarly, the top band grips smoothly, so you rarely feel the cup padding press against you. Despite this, the headphones create a good seal, providing solid passive noise isolation while minimizing but not completely eliminating ambient noise.

In banks, the Delta S keeps onboard controls to a minimum. On the left bank, you have a switch to turn the RGB lighting on, off, or switch to "sound wave" lighting mode, which theoretically glows brighter when you speak into the microphone. There's also a switch that you can turn the volume up and down, or press to mute the microphone. At the bottom of the triangle is an audio port for connecting a detachable boom microphone.

In cans, the Delta S features 50mm neodymium drivers and an upgraded version of Delta's quad-channel DAC. The ESS 9281 transducer uses four separate chips to independently process four different tonal ranges: low, mid, high, and ultra high. Theoretically, this allows certified Hi-Res headphones to reproduce clearer and more distinctive sound throughout the entire frequency range.

The Delta S is also the first gaming headset in a small set of audio hardware that supports the rendering of high-quality MQA-encoded audio files. "Master Quality Authenticated" or MQA files are an audio file format that can transfer "studio quality" music. Pairing the headphones with MQA files, like Tidal's "Master" streaming tracks, which you can access with a $19.99 HiFi tier subscription, offers another level of audio. Smoother, crisper and more balanced MQA-enabled versions of songs sound noticeably different than their standard broadcast counterparts.

The question is, how willing are you to reconfigure your listening mode for better music?

 If you rely primarily on music streaming services, you will need to use the Delta S with a PC or Android phone, and possibly switch to Tidal and/or a few more dedicated music streaming services for MQA tracks. Considering everything audiophiles do to ensure the best sound (spending thousands of dollars on special equipment, downloading lossless files, etc.), this is a fairly easy way to test the difference between good and bad audio equipment. . However, for many users, this is still a big question, and therefore a relatively specific update for curious PC gamers.

The detachable unidirectional boom mic looks and feels generic, but it will fool you. It has several great and improved features that deliver loud and clear voice quality, including a larger driver (6mm vs. 4mm for the Delta) and active noise cancellation to keep ambient noise from disturbing your chat. However, the physical design of the microphone leaves much to be desired. Its short, flexible shaft is covered in thick plastic that flexes easily, but is hard to flex exactly at the perfect grip point. The microphone also came out of jack d
