I say "hats off" to Asus and ROG.

This headphone is fabulous, it is as powerful as my Sennheiser DJ8 that I use on my hi-fi system... but with the 7.1 in addition. Because the 7.1 believe me it is well there, as well as a clarity of sound in the details out of the common (of the helmets)... From the ROG it's still something special. USBA-C adapter cable a little long, but I replaced it immediately with an ISY sold on the site. Yes, it has been said, it is not cheap but once on the head and listening, the price fades from my thoughts. As for the Asus packaging, not a box, a case. Thank you LDLC for your shipping and follow-up with the current situation.

Avoid

I've been using this headset for a while now and I'm not sure how long it's been in use, but I've been using it for a while now and I'm not sure how long it's been in use. It's not even worth buying. I'm really disappointed with this product from ASUS, which is a very good product.

        Very good helmet, but ...

        Purchased in 03-2024 , and received the Theta 7.1 , then was OK in 09-2024 after exchange SAV :
        Despite updates drivers and firmware via software Asus Armoury Crate
        The 1st was quickly hs: strong crackling and metallic noise randomly,
        and inversion of the right left after a few hours of listening;
        needed to change USB port for normal functionality for a short period.
        After numerous tests with advice from LDLC after-sales support, the problem was random and therefore difficult.
        Replaced the headset under warranty in 09-2024, the new one works well,
        Driver firmware update always necessary at the beginning on receipt.
        Very good sound quality; headphones a little heavy, compared to others but it is forgotten;
        as long as the quality and functionality remain, it will stand the test of time

        LDLC always on top

        Sound, build quality.... really well done. If I have to say one thing, it's the software. Otherwise, thank you LDLC for the Premium service since always.

        Don't buy, just walk away. The quality of this headset is pathetic.

        After 1 1/2 years of normal use, the foams are disintegrating, the headband has broken! For the price, this is unacceptable.

        An exceptional product!

        The headphones work perfectly on my side, no problem to report. The sound is excellent, really nothing to say about this product. The price is worth it!

        Only problems

        Nothing but problems with this headset, which only worked well for the first few months. I have sound bugs (people's voices become metallic without warning, then it returns to normal), microphone bugs (many people have trouble hearing me properly). The adjustment software is difficult to find on the manufacturer's website. Once installed, it struggles to launch (you have to click several times on the icon to see it painfully launch after a minute). In short, a catastrophic experience, unacceptable given the price of the headset. It's a shame, because the sound of the games is excellent.

        Audio problem

        It had everything to please: high-end specifications, use of HIFI class signal processing circuits, one of the last representatives of the all too rare class of "true surround" headphones.
        Once placed on the ears, it is comfortable although a little heavy (will not suit everyone, but it is necessary to house all these transducers), its chassis and its construction are solid (aluminum shell protecting the transducers), a double cord rather rigid (like a coaxial cable) which can bother if you move your head a lot while using it, but once on the road, the quality of the sound is there, the maximum volume is quite low in 7.1 mode (probably due to the multitude of elements to feed), the positioning and spatialization are impeccable in game, you can hear everything everywhere and you know where the enemy is coming from.

        BUT.......

        I received and sent back several times for a POPING sound problem raised by many people on the ASUS forums and others, at each beginning / end of sentence in a soundtrack and particularly remarkable during Discord conversations we hear a small POP which clearly for a headset that wants to be Hi-Res and Discord Certified is unacceptable, ASUS clearly lacks seriousness on the taking into account of user feedback and review of the products concerned, if I kind of concerns stated do not bother you, go, if not, go your way.

        ROG Theta 7.1

        Disappointed with this ROG headset. The software is well done and very complete. The sound on discord, video and music is just fantastic. Suitable for big ears (largely)

        However, the in-game sound does not suit me at all. I tested it on Valorant and CSGO, I tried all possible settings, but my HyperX Cloud II is 10 times better.

        Also, the microphone is very average (although viable), especially for a 300€ "GAMER" headset. I also find that the big cables under the ears are annoying because they are very rigid.

        In the end, it is a very good multimedia headset, for music for example. In fact, it has a "phone mode". But I find that it is not suitable for video games (FPS at least).

        Good, but...

        I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to get it to work for me.
        I'm not sure if it's a good fit for my games, but I'm not sure if it's a good fit for my games, and I'm not sure if it's a good fit for my games, but I'm not sure if it's a good fit for my games.
        It's a good idea to have it on for a while, but it's not a good idea to have it on for a long time, so it's not a good idea to have it on for a while.
