ASUS - Delta II

Asus Rog Delta 2. 110 hour battery on dongle (without RGB) 140 hour battery on Bluetooth (without RGB) Amazing sound quality. 2 different cushions in the package (leather for more sound isolation and soft cushion for comfort) Extremely good microphone for a wireless headset. Dual audio (dongle + Bluetooth) Got them on sale for about 212€ and can't be happier about the purchase.

I returned the nova pros, they hurt my ears after 20 minutes.... found the Delta 2s, amazing comfort.

Dunno man, love my Delta 2, more than my beyerdynamics

First off, I'll admit that my title is a bit misleading but truthful, and so I'll immediately tell you what it is; the "**Corsair Void RGB Elite**". You might be thinking "*What? The $70 headset that came out in October 2019?*" Yes, that headset. If you value comfort, sound quality, mic quality, and quality feeling materials, this is the headset for you. It completely blows the competition away, all the way up into the $200-$300 price bracket. This headset is the 2nd best headset I've ever had, only coming after the now unavailable "**Corsair Void Pro"** released in August 2017. The pro had better quality earpad foam which made it unimaginably comfortable. When I got my *Void Elite* to replace my worn-into-the-ground *Void Pro* three years ago, I immediately noticed the downgrade in earpad quality, but having compared them to the current market, I now see they are still miles above everything else available, and for a fraction of the price. Just today I've purchased 3 more pairs of the Corsair Void RGB Elite so I know I will have a decent headset for the next 10 years at least, as the quality of all others continues to degrade. I want to make it clear I am **NOT** talking about the "Corsair Void Wireless V2". *The V2 is objectively one of the* *worst headset I have ever used*. The rest of this post will be a rant about how absolutely shite the rest of modern gaming headsets are and me bashing some bad ones I bought. Just this month I read people's reviews and suggestions on Reddit, Amazon, and YouTube and naively purchased the "**ASUS Rog Delta II**" ($208) then the "**Logitech G Pro X**" ($180) and then the "**Corsair Void Wireless V2**" ($140). All were in their own way, horrible quality and insanely overpriced. With the Logitech's technically being the best as long as you don't plan on using your mic. **ASUS Rog Delta II**: Complete garbage. My roommate and sister have ASUS Rog Laptops and I have a Rog motherboard and ASUS graphics card, so I had high hopes for these. SHITE. Seriously, I'm not an audiophile that complains about sound quality constantly. I use Airpods when I'm out-and-about and think they sound just fine, so believe me when I say the Rog Delta II sound quality is SO bad that it sounds like your listening to a speaker in a different room. Yes I downloaded all the drivers in the Armory Crate app. Yes I checked the connection and Hz in system sound settings. I did it all and I promise there was nothing wrong. They are just bad. I also got in a discord call and apparently the mic sounded like I was talking through a "red SOLO cup". RETURNED. **Logitech G Pro X**: Arguably the best of the bunch, pretty quality feeling, comfortable enough, good sound quality, but the mic... My biggest gripe is that if you have sidetone on and talk in anything more than a whisper, it gets overloaded and distorts the sound back into your ear super loud. Its extremely annoying. On top of that you don't get any sidetone if you're not currently using an application that is using the mic. I like having my sidetone always on, but with these if I'm not in a discord call, no sidetone. And finally, it's a detachable aux-cord mic which isn't a deal-breaker for me but is annoying and makes them sound worse in my opinion. RETURNED. **Corsair Void Wireless V2:** Oh my god, these are the worst of the whole bunch. I don't even know where to begin. They're supposed to be the next evolution of the Void Elite but are infinitely cheaper feeling and worse in every way, yet twice the price. I'll just make a list comparing them to the Void Elites. (*which, if you actually read this whole thing, will know are the already inferior version of the Void Pros*) \-Earpad foam quality: Worse \-Metal frame? Nope, Plastic \-Earpad Depth: Half as deep (*so your ears press against the hard inner plastic speaker*) \-Mic Quality: Poop. \-Sidetone: Sounds like your underwater, AND HAS A DELAY LOL \-Price: $140 (twice as much as Void RGB Elite) They don't even have the nice Corsair symbol lit up on the side. They are shit and it's sad to see Corsair go straight down the toilet. These headphones genuinely feel like they were bought at the Dollar Tree. I'm not just saying that because I'm upset. They genuinely feel like that. Buy a pair and try them out if you don't believe me haha. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. \*bow\* **tldr -** "Corsair Void Pro" are the best ever but are no longer available so their slightly inferior descendant the "Corsair Void RGB Elite" are the current best even though they're only $70 and 6 years old. You'll like them if you buy them.

A50 Gen 5s are beauties! Was waiting for these to come along for a long time since I own an Xbox and PS5 and sick of switching dongles around, and I’d tried the Nova Pro wireless and the ear cups were too shallow with those little nipple things resting on my ears quite often. A50 comfort is outstanding, and on top of all the other great features they have, comfort is king when you’re sat playing games for hours at a time. Those ROG Deltas look though if your on one platform and don’t plan to play on Xbox.

Just get the Gen 5s, no hdmi issues at all, everything just connects through a single USB-C and they are top notch. If you have a Series X, those Delta 2s only connect through wired mode so probably not the best choice if you plan on playing Xbox a fair amount.

The headset arrived with a faulty dongle. So I immediately returned it. Two strikes and I'm done with Turtle beach. I ended up getting the Asus Rog Delta 2 and I'm happy with them so far

yeah, I'm planning on getting the rog delta 2. the atlas air is open back, which is an issue. I dont want sound at all coming out of my headphones

I like that Steelseries 5X headset has multiple EQs lightweight. Alienware headset is a nice one I really think the open back Atlas Air from TurtleBeach is a sleeper man I like that one. Are you playing solo or friends? IEMs are a crazy good budget pick $50 gets you great audio. Tell you what watch Gadgetry Tech on YouTube and get an idea of the idea headset and watch his review every headset (35+) I've waited till he reviewed and gave me a custom eq for FPS Music and SP to start with and you can hmu if you need an extra opinion on top of his.Rog Delta II another one i enjoy 

Great selection only gripe not major the software is a pain downloading other than that offers a lot for a good headset 

I got a pair of Asus Rog Delta II after watching countless reviews. Honestly, I was skeptical because you know, Asus… But damn they are super comfy, audio and mic quality is great. Battery life could be better but it doesn’t really bother me.

As a fellow big-headed dude that wears a 7 7/8 size hat I never had great luck with Steelseries. I went with an Asus Delta II headset this time since all the reviews mentioned they were loose. They were a bit tight for the first day or two and gave me a headache but after that they loosened up and are by far the best fitting headset I've owned. As far as audio quality I'm probably not the best judge as I'm half deaf in one ear with tinnitus, but they do sound good to me. Entirely different price bracket though, I got them on sale for 207 and see they're now down to 200.

Don’t you also have head band discomfort with the delta 2? I bought them as well as the new asus pelta. The delta 2 sound better and have the better microphone, but the peltas are much more comfortable on the head. Stupid situation

Mhh weird I heard that they’re made for large heads, which have 😂, but sadly they still hurt on the headband. It’s a shame because otherwise I really like them :/

Like I said, it really depends on how you're going to end up using those headphones. Both Asus rog delta 2 and a50s are very solid choices, though the Asus rog delta 2's have a better mic but worse sound than the Alienware Pros. Is that something that matters to you? You should judge that yourself. The Astro A50X are an awesome pair of gaming headsets from what I know, but they require a base station to use, so you won't be able to use it in planes or whatever if that matters to you, but the A50X have a better mic and better sound than AW Pros AFAIK And neither of these headsets have ANC if that matters to you. Only AW Pros does. I recommend you check out the reviews for these headsets by GadgetryTech on YouTube. He has really good reviews. If price is the only thing that matters to you, then go for the AW Pros. They won't disappoint you.

I own the Delta 2 and tried the A50X i have big ears so the way the Astro's are made isn't great for me. Both mics are awesome. I think the Astro is less boomy. Sound quality, the Delta 2 is pretty neutral so it's easy to eq them. Of you like a lot of bass, the Astro will have the advantage. Clarity, I prefer the delta. Three connections for the Delta abd they're working pretty well. Of you use them on console, the mic is pretty good. Sound too with dolby. The battery last a fn long time too. I will try the Astro again someday, but as of now, I am more than satisfied with the Rog Delta 2

I tried so many headphones and headsets it's crazy. The Maxwell is fine but really heavy and meh mic Rog Delta 2 has a good mic now and easy to EQ, but too expensive for what it is Razer is just average at best for most of them. Astro is great, but f the dock. JBL Quantum series sound is very average. Great bass Corsair Virtuoso Max audio quality is insanely below others at the same price point. Alienware Pro is 100$ too expensive, ears gets hot unde an hour and mine lasted 4 days. I heard good things about the Atlas Air.

That's what I was thinking first, but there's a guy called Maverick on Youtube who tried the headset and the mic was good. At home on PS5, the sound was clear as day. Not at the level of the A50X, but still very capable.

I’ve had both but went with the Astro as my keeper. The Asus are very good with a mic almost on par with the Astro. I just preferred the comfort of the Astro and also the pads. While the Asus had two sets, I didn’t like the sport fabric ones at all and the leather ones just made the headset too isolating for me. Advantage of the Asus is not being tied to the base station but then again you lost Xbox wireless support. If roaming around using Bluetooth away from the bases station isn’t a priority I’d stick with the Astro.

I have the Delta 2, its very very good. I cant say any negative from that. Originally i wanted to buy the Scape when it releases, but when the Delta 2 released i jumped on that and i didnt regret it. Although dont know how Scape sounds, i would bet its not better than the Delta 2 if u think about it as the Scape price contains a charging dock too, so its probably a lesser value sound than a charging dockless AND more expensive Delta 2.
