Firstly it was delivered on a Sunday and my off days from work are Monday and Tuesday so thanks guys for letting me enjoy it for two whole days.
Now when I first got these I plugged it in to my PS4 as I mainly play on console and I noticed the sound was really low. Dismally low. Someone speaking at normal volume could easily overcome the sound of this semi-openback headset and adjusting the volume rocker wheel was doing nothing. So I whipped out my gaming laptop and plugged these in with a direct usb-c connection and there was all the sound which sounds amazing, more on that later.
So I downloaded some software and adjusted settings on the PC thinking maybe they stay on the headset (although I doubt it has anything to do with it) and went back to my PS4.
Plugged it back in while it was off. Still really really low volume. I was getting kinda nervous about my purchase so I tried the simplest thing. Unplugged it and plugged it back in and voila! The volume was there and the volume wheel worked too.
Now as for sound quality. I’d say it’s really good. Crispy and crunchy high tones, nice resonating mids, the bass is there but it’s not overwhelming. So I’d say this is a bit of a colder/accurate sound profile so NOT FOR BASSHEADS. The semi-open back nature of these means that you get great audio positioning. There has been many times on Apex Legends where I’ve heard enemy footsteps way before I see them or they see me and I can aim to where they’re coming from. Also with that semi open back design you can hear yourself speaking too so you don’t find yourself talking louder than you usually would.
As far as fit and finish goes these are really good. Nothing creaks or squeaks, they look amazing especially with that rgb. Really comfortable as I’ve already played several hours with them on and had no problems and my ears don’t get too hot. The only thing I wish was different was the headband padding. It’s comfortable but it’s a bit thin and I can see that being the first place to wear out.
So the TL;DR unplug it and plug it back in on your PS4 if the volume is too low. Sound quality is great and accurate although if you’re really into bass look elsewhere. Really comfortable to wear for long hours and you’ll look cooler while doing so with rgb.
UPDATE: It has been a year and 4 months since I purchased this headset and so far so good. Longevity does seem to be a bit of an issue. The headband seems to be fraying quite a bit and unfortunately the LEDs on the left ear cup have gone out. Audio still works perfectly though. And ear pads haven’t given out on me yet. If Asus releases and updated version of these I’ll be the first one to buy it, but as it stands I’m going to use these until they explode.
