ASUS ROG DELTA HI-FI ESS 9218 QUAD DAC USB-C RGB GAMING HEADSET

Some people say there is no good sounding gaming headset. Those people have not heard ROG Delta. Four hi-fi-grade ESS 9218 DACs provide lossless audio processing with each DAC devoting its processing power to a subset of the audible frequency range, from lows, mids, highs to ultra-highs. The four signals are then combined, which produces clearer sound with an impressive 127-dB SNR that’s much higher than any device in the market. As a result, you can hear and place in-game sounds with pinpoint accuracy, letting you precisely judge enemy distance, direction of footsteps, gunshot locations and more. Hear every detail and enjoy crisp, clear sound for a true-to-life audio experience.

Hyper-Grounding is ROG’s exclusive technology, which utilizes a multi-layer PCB and a special layout design to prevent electromagnetic interference, resulting in pure, noise-free audio. Due to this innovative technology, ROG Delta is the world’s first gaming headset with RGB lighting that is able to include an ESS Quad DAC and unlock its full potential to provide gamers rich, powerful sound unmatched by other gaming headsets.

Signal to noise ratio is a critical specification for gaming headsets, especially in FPS games. A higher SNR allows you to precisely pinpoint the origin of enemy footsteps, or hone in on the location of gunfire or explosions on battlefield. With its quad-DAC design, ROG Delta is capable of achieving an unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio of 127 dB, a level untouchable by single-DAC gaming headsets.

With ROG Delta, the exclusive ASUS Essence drivers have been updated with Audio Signal Diversion technology, giving them a circular wall that helps separate high, low and medium frequency sounds, reducing interference between frequency ranges for purer and clearer audio. Additionally, the drivers feature a wide frequency response of 20–40kHz to provide incredibly strong bass and optimized gaming sound, so you’ll hear every detail while enjoying an all-around immersive acoustic experience.

ROG Delta features ASUS Aura Sync technology, allowing you to synchronize lighting effects across Aura-enabled products* to create a unique and captivating gaming atmosphere.

Instead of a 3.5mm connector, ROG Delta features a USB-C connector and an comes with a USB-C to USB 2.0 (Type-A) adapter, which allows it to connect with nearly every gaming platform, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, letting you enjoy its class-leading performance, anytime, anywhere.

ROG Delta has ergonomic, D-shaped ear cups that more closely match the shape of human ears compared to oval ear cups, reducing the unnecessary contact area by 20% for a better, more comfortable fit, especially when the headset is worn for long periods.

The drivers inside each ear cup are tilted by 12 degrees, closely matching the natural angle of human ears. This sloped design not only provides better comfort, but also helps improve sound quality by enabling the audio signal to travel directly into the ear canal.

ROG Delta provides two types of fit and feel for you to choose from based on your needs or preference. ROG Hybrid ear cushions, which combine protein leather and fabric mesh, are thicker, more breathable and provide a contoured fit, perfect for long gaming sessions. The protein leather cushions are comparatively thinner and softer, making them good for on-the-go use.

Intuitive control buttons on the ear cup let you instantly control volume and RGB lighting, and a durable rocker switch lets you easily mute the microphone during gameplay.

ROG Delta comes with a detachable, unidirectional boom microphone, tuned especially for clear voice communication and certified by leading communication apps. An indicator on the tip of the boom flashes red when the microphone is muted, letting you easily see the microphone’s status.
