Balanced Headphone Connection
Separate Microphone Path

Hear an open soundstage
The large planar magnetic drivers reproduce a wide frequency range, while open earcups support spacious separation. Choose a quieter room because the open design lets sound pass in and out.
Full-band voice pickup
The on-cable MEMS boom microphone captures a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range. Separate audio and microphone plugs keep the two signal paths apart. Check the connection and supported host requirements for the exact headset model before completing the audio setup for your usual sessions.
Choose the right connection
The headphone cable includes 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm single-ended plugs plus a 4.4 mm balanced plug. A USB-C to dual-3.5 mm adapter supports audio and microphone on compatible devices.
Know your console connection
PlayStation controllers and Xbox controllers provide audio only through a single 3.5 mm jack. Use USB-C for microphone support on compatible PlayStation and Switch consoles; Xbox microphone use is not supported by the supplied connection setup.
Adjust the listening feel
The metal frame, adjustable padded headband and interchangeable velour or leatherette-with-fabric cushions let you tailor the fit. Check the connection and supported host requirements for the exact headset model before completing the audio setup for your usual sessions.
Keep the Balanced and Microphone Paths Separate
The included headphone connection options and the separate microphone path serve different jobs. Match the listening plug to an appropriate output, and use the listed USB-C or dual-jack microphone route rather than assuming one audio plug carries both signals.
Plan the Platform and Chat Connection
Choose the exact platform version and check whether its connection uses USB, a wireless receiver or an analogue headset socket. Set the playback and microphone devices deliberately in your game or chat application. Compare related options such as ASUS ROG Delta S RGB 7.1 Wired Gaming Headset or ASUS ROG DELTA II Gaming Headset - White, keeping the exact model and configuration in the decision. For the wider setup, explore Shure SM7B Dynamic Microphone, XLR and check the connection, size or mounting requirements before pairing accessories. Browse the ASUS range at AX for more choices.
