00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:15,839
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Orion Pro Rog gaming headset from

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
ASUS well I mean it makes sense that it's from ASUS because it is Republic of

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:27,039
Gamers the main difference between the Orion and the Orion Pro is the

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:29,560
inclusion of the Rog Spitfire so the

5
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:33,480
Spitfire is a driverless USB Hardware DSP Digital Signal processor which

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,879
basically means it's a USB sound card I think the important thing is that it's

7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,879
driverless because it means you don't have to worry about plugging it in and

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,039
go to the website and download the driver no no you just plug it in it goes

9
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:48,920
uh easy access immersive 7.1 virtual surround I'm actually okay if you H if

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,800
you must have surround personally I prefer just leaving the headphones in

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Stereo mode but if you want surround effects I do prefer virtual surround to

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,719
actually putting more speakers inside headphones if you're going to run real

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,280
speakers then yeah you probably want dedicated surround speakers but for

14
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:09,720
headphones the speakers are so CL the drivers are so close to your ear you're

15
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:13,280
not going to get the same effect that you get from surround speakers from

16
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:18,320
headphones anyway and you end up with these tiny little drivers that aren't

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:22,360
capable of producing the Deep sounds

18
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:24,200
that you want for movies gaming music I

19
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,200
mean basically drivers that aren't capable of producing deep sounds you

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,280
pretty much don't really don't really want them so the first thing we find

21
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,880
inside because this is the pro version is the Spitfire itself and I'm trying

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:42,600
really hard to remove the packaging there so it comes with a braided cable

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,240
and a USB connector and then it just has

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,240
on the other end a microphone in and a headphone outport so you could actually

25
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,439
use this Spitfire with anything you wanted you could even change up the

26
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:56,000
headphones you're using I really like this approach because it drives me crazy

27
00:01:53,439 --> 00:02:01,479
when manufacturers lock you into buying an analog headset or a USB headset this

28
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:05,560
is elegant because it doesn't cost them that much more it does cost a little bit

29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,360
more to terminate the ends and then do this and do that but it gives you that

30
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:14,360
flexibility maybe you really like this maybe you upgrade your oryan pro to a

31
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,800
Sagittarius Pro or I I don't know what's coming in the future but maybe you

32
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:21,840
upgrade it maybe you want to keep using this there you go so on here there's an

33
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,519
FPS mode button a surround Button as well as an amp button so that gives you

34
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:30,239
Hardware access to whatever functionality you might need on the

35
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:35,280
Spitfire so let's move on to the headphones themselves and before we do

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,360
that let's have a look at this what the heck is this hopefully they say

37
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,879
something about what this is it appears to be I have no idea we'll be back so

38
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:50,159
this guy right here is a cable organizer which is basically just a rubber piece

39
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,680
that has two clips so you can organize

40
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:56,319
the actually quite long cable so this is must be at least about an 8T long cable

41
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,159
so you're able to reach around to the back of your case or if you don't want

42
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:05,959
to reach to the back of your case and you can just coil it up jam it in here

43
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,319
and then have it stay presumably sort of

44
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:12,159
coiled up and jammed in here and not have to think about that so at the end

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,519
you find your standard termination so there's your headphone as well as

46
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:21,120
microphone so again options gives you the option to plug it into the Spitfire

47
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:25,720
just like that or plug it into your front panel audio or even the back of

48
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,840
your sound card I mean ASUS unlike a lot of the headphone companies actually

49
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,920
makes high-end sound cards which might be part of the reason why they care

50
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,439
about giving you the option to use their audio products with their other audio

51
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,439
products so now let's get into the headset itself the top has a nice big

52
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:45,280
cushion on it this is refreshing to see it goes all the way from here to here

53
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:49,680
and is quite soft although the foam inside here doesn't seem to be quite as

54
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:53,760
thick or Supple as the foam on the ear cups themselves so that's a memory foam

55
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:59,439
ear cup you can clearly tell from how squishy and soft it is and how long it

56
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:02,519
takes to retract however to sort of uh

57
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,439
to perfect the the fit of these

58
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:09,840
headphones I would have preferred to see some rotation this way they do go up and

59
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,480
down but the only rotation side to side here is from the uh the metal pieces

60
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:19,079
here having a little bit of flex in them I wouldn't have minded seeing some actual rotation they have a very

61
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:23,560
striking looking Rog logo on the side of each of the ear cups looks very very

62
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:30,120
nice and I mean as always all Rog stuff looks so sharp with a mixture of glossy

63
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,560
metal um matte plastic and red ACC sense

64
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,720
even the microphone looks just like boss and I love retractable microphones so

65
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,720
hold on more on the retractable microphone in a moment sizewise you can

66
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,360
go all the way from sort of ginormous

67
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:48,400
head size here you can clearly see how big that is for me to pretty much kid

68
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,360
size because this is not even close like that's where it sits my ears are hanging

69
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:56,520
right out the uh right out the bottom here so I found somewhere in the middle was about right for me which makes sense

70
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:00,039
I wear a medium motorcycle helmet the retractable mic is as I said before

71
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,880
awesome I love retractable mics it means you can wear it somewhere when you're

72
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,919
out and about without looking ridiculous and hold on a minute there we go and

73
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:13,320
it's got a flexible sort of snake wire thing on it so that you can position it

74
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,440
exactly where you need it next to your mouth actually my understanding is the

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,919
corner of your mouth is where it's supposed to sit I think that pretty much

76
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:24,639
