00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:15.839
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Orion Pro Rog gaming headset from

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

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:27.039
Gamers the main difference between the Orion and the Orion Pro is the

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:29.560
inclusion of the Rog Spitfire so the

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:33.480
Spitfire is a driverless USB Hardware DSP Digital Signal processor which

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

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:39.879
driverless because it means you don't have to worry about plugging it in and

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

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:48.920
uh easy access immersive 7.1 virtual surround I'm actually okay if you H if

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:52.800
you must have surround personally I prefer just leaving the headphones in

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:58.440
Stereo mode but if you want surround effects I do prefer virtual surround to

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:02.719
actually putting more speakers inside headphones if you're going to run real

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.280
speakers then yeah you probably want dedicated surround speakers but for

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:09.720
headphones the speakers are so CL the drivers are so close to your ear you're

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.280
not going to get the same effect that you get from surround speakers from

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.320
headphones anyway and you end up with these tiny little drivers that aren't

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:22.360
capable of producing the Deep sounds

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:24.200
that you want for movies gaming music I

00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:27.200
mean basically drivers that aren't capable of producing deep sounds you

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.280
pretty much don't really don't really want them so the first thing we find

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.880
inside because this is the pro version is the Spitfire itself and I'm trying

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:42.600
really hard to remove the packaging there so it comes with a braided cable

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:44.240
and a USB connector and then it just has

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.240
on the other end a microphone in and a headphone outport so you could actually

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.439
use this Spitfire with anything you wanted you could even change up the

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:56.000
headphones you're using I really like this approach because it drives me crazy

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:01.479
when manufacturers lock you into buying an analog headset or a USB headset this

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

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

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:14.360
flexibility maybe you really like this maybe you upgrade your oryan pro to a

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

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

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.519
FPS mode button a surround Button as well as an amp button so that gives you

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:30.239
Hardware access to whatever functionality you might need on the

00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:35.280
Spitfire so let's move on to the headphones themselves and before we do

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.360
that let's have a look at this what the heck is this hopefully they say

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

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:50.159
this guy right here is a cable organizer which is basically just a rubber piece

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:52.680
that has two clips so you can organize

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

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

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

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.319
and then have it stay presumably sort of

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

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:16.519
you find your standard termination so there's your headphone as well as

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.120
microphone so again options gives you the option to plug it into the Spitfire

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:25.720
just like that or plug it into your front panel audio or even the back of

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:28.840
your sound card I mean ASUS unlike a lot of the headphone companies actually

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.920
makes high-end sound cards which might be part of the reason why they care

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:35.439
about giving you the option to use their audio products with their other audio

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:40.439
products so now let's get into the headset itself the top has a nice big

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

00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:49.680
and is quite soft although the foam inside here doesn't seem to be quite as

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

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

00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:02.519
takes to retract however to sort of uh

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.439
to perfect the the fit of these

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:09.840
headphones I would have preferred to see some rotation this way they do go up and

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.480
down but the only rotation side to side here is from the uh the metal pieces

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

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.560
striking looking Rog logo on the side of each of the ear cups looks very very

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

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:32.560
metal um matte plastic and red ACC sense

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.720
even the microphone looks just like boss and I love retractable microphones so

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.720
hold on more on the retractable microphone in a moment sizewise you can

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.360
go all the way from sort of ginormous

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

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

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

00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:00.039
I wear a medium motorcycle helmet the retractable mic is as I said before

00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.880
awesome I love retractable mics it means you can wear it somewhere when you're

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.919
out and about without looking ridiculous and hold on a minute there we go and

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

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:16.440
exactly where you need it next to your mouth actually my understanding is the

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.919
corner of your mouth is where it's supposed to sit I think that pretty much

00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:24.639
