Asus ROG Delta II review

When you think of Asus Republic of Gamers gear, you probably imagine neon-lit, Cyberpunk-esque motherboards, hefty GPUs, and blazing-fast monitors—but a headset? Not exactly top of mind, right? Well, let me introduce you to the Asus ROG Delta II—a gaming headset that not only surprises but might just bother some of the best gaming headsets of 2024.

At $229, the ROG Delta II offers a Tri-mode wireless setup that works across almost any device you own and can even connect to two simultaneously. The 50 mm titanium-plated drivers deliver premium sound, while the detachable boom mic ensures your teammates hear you loud and clear. There's also Aura RGB lighting for that signature ROG flair and a pretty astounding 110-hour battery life to keep you gaming all weekend without reaching for a charger.

Comfort is where the Delta II really shines. The headset comes with memory foam cushions in both pleather and breathable fabric options, which makes it easy to find the perfect fit. The generous earcups fully enclose your ears without adding pressure, and as someone who wears glasses, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are for long gaming sessions.

If I'm going to pick some nits, however, the headband, while padded and flexible, has a narrow design that occasionally causes some pressure on the top of my head. Fortunately, it's lightweight at just 318 g, so this really isn't a major issue.

In terms of design, this headset stays true to the ROG aesthetic, with triangular earcups and eye-catching RGB strips. The anodized metal arms holding the earcups add a premium touch, complete with «Republic of Gamers» branding.
