1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,920
oh

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,880
wow if you don't know who the Republic of gamers are then you're not a member

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:14,519
loser and the only way to get involved is to buy these that's not true

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,880
anybody's welcome in the Republic of Gamers this is the ASUS Rog Delta s

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,560
Wireless this is the newest entry into their Delta series of wireless headsets

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:27,760
and ASUS was kind enough to sponsor this video and send us over a pair so that we

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,840
could take a look and what do we have inside ooh it's headphones I guess we

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:35,640
should probably before we get to the headphones do the packaging so as you

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:40,160
can see right on the front we got some symbols we got PlayStation 5 support

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,920
that's awesome Discord certified and what is that te TeamSpeak do people

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,520
still use TeamSpeak these feature dual mode wireless connectivity which means

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,000
that it's using Bluetooth or you can use a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter which means

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:57,399
that you can use this with pretty much anything that you own you can use it with PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 your PC

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,039
your Mac your Nintendo switch and even your mobile phone which is awesome you

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,799
got AI beam pering microphones with AI noise cancellation that's two AI okay

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,159
that's a lot comfortable lightweight design battery life and fast charging up

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:14,000
to 25 hours of battery life with a 15-minute fast charge providing 3 hours

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,560
of use that's actually pretty good okay let's take a

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,680
look

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,960
wow this is an interesting like textured plastic okay welcome to the elite

21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:34,439
Republic of Gamers Community okay in this box is some paperwork

22
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:36,640
and also a o a braided usba to USBC

23
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:42,360
cable if only I had bananas around me for scale behind you in the

24
00:01:52,360 --> 00:02:01,719
trees okay yeah yeah so we got one banana two banana three banana four

25
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,719
banana four and about 20 4 and a/4 bananas which is about a meter so you

26
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,479
have like this and it's not just going to be the metal part of the USB it actually goes all the way in which is

27
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:13,239
great cuz then it's nice and secure and you're way less likely to break the port

28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,760
that's a really nice um touch I really appreciate that so Al also in the box we

29
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,840
have these spare ear cups these have a polyester fabric exterior and a protein

30
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:26,560
leather interior it's the same protein leather that makes up these entire ear

31
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,959
cups what protein leather is it's just plastic leather it's another term which

32
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:33,800
is great because I think vegan products are cool as well as we've gotten really

33
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,519
good at making fake leather and the fact that you get two choices of two ear cups

34
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,800
this is great these being fabric should bring extra breathability which will be really relieving for those who get

35
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,319
really sweaty ears during gameplay I don't have that problem but I've heard

36
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,239
your cries viewers and I know that it is a problem for some of you so I'm keeping

37
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,959
an eye out there was a guy on Twitter who reached out to me and so think about

38
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:56,319
you right now buddy how do I get them off oh they just come off like that so

39
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:00,159
these just have like kind of a plastic wrapping usually headphones will have

40
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,519
more of a plastic structure on the inside of these and they'll like kind of

41
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,000
clip in or magnetize in especially on the premium end headphones so here you

42
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:12,200
just kind of slide it in around the edge okay this this could be

43
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,599
better I'm regretting taking them off now that we have now that we've just

44
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,720
gotten into the headphones we'll take a look at the headphones they appear to have an all plastic construction with

45
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:25,440
metal for the headband they got a decent amount of flex they're 318 G these feel

46
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:30,080
lighter than you'd expect at first glance but the Plastics they're using actually feel quite nice um and look

47
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:33,799
premium and are also ejecting fingerprints pretty well which I

48
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:39,920
appreciate you got that kind of uh that angry glare for the Rog

49
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:41,360
logo the exclusive 50 mm ASUS Essence

50
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,080
drivers the nice thing I can see right here is that they're actually tilted a little bit ahead so what this is doing

51
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:50,879
is that this is bringing the driver out a little bit to direct the sound right into your ear so these use beam forming

52
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:53,760
microphones like say like your airpods the microphones are all the way over

53
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,239
here but the sound comes out of your mouth out here which is why ASUS has

54
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,519
Enlisted the power of AI to help with the beam forming microphones so basically they're going to be using a

55
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:07,079
for their noise cancellation which is like the same thing that you'd expect from Discord like their crisp noise

56
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,920
cancellation or RTX sound RTX voice we're going to see something like that

57
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:14,120
in these headphones so you have a switch for your 2.4 GHz your Bluetooth this is

58
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:19,880
a function button so this will do like pause play skip this is a microphone and

59
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,040
then up here is an audio control knob allows you to turn your volume up turn

60
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,280
your volume down and if you press it in it's going to mute your microphone

61
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,880
that's a great spot for it actually I really enjoy that and then over on this

62
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:35,400
side we have have a little house for your dongle ain't that cute okay so

63
00:04:32,919 --> 00:04:39,160
putting them on you know there's not very much clamping Force like they they

64
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:43,039
barely seem to really be putting any pressure on the side of my head and if I

65
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,240
try and get more clamping force on the top then it kind of just pinches at the

66
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,800
top and then it feels like it's opening up at the bottom here these on my head

67
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:55,520
don't fit the best but I will say that there's lots of space for my ears my

68
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:01,280
ears aren't touching the ear cups at all they're not touching the actual drivers

69
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,520
or the inside of the ear cup sound

70
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:06,600
isolation is not amazing but I'm also like when I'm gaming I'm usually and I'm

71
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:11,320
wearing headphones I'm usually talking with other people and I can find S like

72
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,520
too much sound isolation to be isolating and then it feels like I'm yelling all

73
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:17,800
the time um maybe I am yelling right now and there's actually good sound

74
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,960
isolation but who knows so I plugged in the dongle I've turned the headphones on

75
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:26,319
it stopped blinking so I think it immediately found the dongle which is super great super quick let's see if

76
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Windows has seen it it does it's identified as the RG Delta s Wireless so

77
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:33,520
it's we in boys we in update all so you

78
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,720
you will have to download an AI noise cancellation audio software so you can

79
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,639
see that when it's looking for pairing it has a blinking

80
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:45,600
light pair cool and it reports the battery life let's see what codec we're

81
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:48,840
using is not reporting me a codec I don't know what codex it supports for

82
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,199
Bluetooth we're just doing some quick listening Impressions with the Bluetooth

83
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,720
this is going to be music not really the main intention of these headphones but

84
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:59,440
um I still stand by the whole idea that if it's a good set of headphones it's

85
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:04,440
good for everything if it's bad at music then it's that's bad at whatever it's supposed to do I wouldn't call this an

86
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:08,120
excellent listening experience for music but that's not really the intention of

87
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:13,960
it and you can tell by the way it's tuned what this does is that it's kind of cranked up the really low bass notes

88
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:19,520
like really low we're talking like below 30 HZ so you get nice rumbles and like

89
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:22,280
from explosions and other deep like gunshots and sound effects like that

90
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,880
they've also cranked up the higher frequencies so you can hear more details and things like say like Footsteps in

91
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:32,000
gravel so you can tell if somebody's going to be coming up and approaching you sound stage for a closed back

92
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:37,360
headphone I'm they're pretty good there's a lot of directionality to the sound things are placed very well um and

93
00:06:36,039 --> 00:06:43,000
it feels very clear where they are let's switch from playing some music to uh gaming so I'm going to switch from this

94
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:45,960
to the new mode it found it immediately also something that's nice is that it

95
00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:51,280
tells you what's happening it's not just a series of weird sound effects that you have to learn it just says connected or

96
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,919
it'll say Bluetooth I really appreciate that that makes it way easier wow okay

97
00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,720
there's actually a lot of stuff in here not only can we change the bit depth of

98
00:06:57,479 --> 00:07:04,000
our audio you get 16 bits of 48,000 khz

99
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:07,039
in the app we have various different EQ

100
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,280
profiles virtual surround base boost

101
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:13,280
compressor voice Clarity a noise gate for a microphone as well as different

102
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:17,599
levels of noise cancellation this is a lot of features Reverb I don't want that

103
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:23,400
interesting so there's a lot of different EQ options as well as a

104
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,120
built-in 10 band EQ which is very nice

105
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,720
it's great to be able to change it and make things sound exactly how you want

106
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:32,639
them to we also have the virtual surround sound which we we can oh it has

107
00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:36,000
a demo in it let's see there we go it's working now so what it's doing right now

108
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,759
if we want to test the virtual surround is it's just like it's just like a guy shooting a gun endlessly and it's

109
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:44,879
panning from left to right I assume it's supposed to be going around in a circle

110
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:47,440
but it's showing us only in Stereo when I turn it on I have virtual surround

111
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,919
sound before we get into game we're going to do some testing with the mic to give you an idea for what the mic

112
00:07:50,159 --> 00:07:56,039
quality is going to be like we have got a fancy new speaker here to give a bit

113
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,120
of a better idea of what like traffic noise and stuff like that will sound

114
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:01,120
like just a really worst case scenario

115
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,879
connected we're going to take a listen on the on the

116
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,879
speakers okay so this is me talking with some

117
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:19,000
sound in the background this is without AI noise suppression we're now going to

118
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:23,720
add in the AI noise cancellation this is the AI noise

119
00:08:21,159 --> 00:08:30,639
cancellation that's really good that's really impressive can

120
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:33,959
you you can hear the PoE this is the AI

121
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:35,680
cancellation at Mid how does that sound

122
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:39,959
can you hear it is the background stuff being cut out I don't really know how

123
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,039
about the AI noise cancellation at high as you increase the level of noise

124
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:46,640
cancellation your voice is going to start to sound less and less natural and

125
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,600
more robotic because taking out sound is really really difficult so you might

126
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,959
find that depending on your situation you'll probably want to go with like the low frequ the low AI noise cancellation

127
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,440
because it might have the best performance tradeoff for you now uh this

128
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,120
is the microphone with me typing and I'm I'm typing pretty

129
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:09,040
hard and then this is the microphone with noise cancellation on low with me

130
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:13,640
typing and uh I'm just be talking to you because I'm playing a game oh go get um

131
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:20,160
uh Schnell throw a grenade o I'm

132
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:22,760
timating um uh what else does Gamers say

133
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:27,560
uh let's go you know the directionality of the

134
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:32,200
sounds pretty good the lots of impact in the base it's a little bit

135
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:37,680
there's a lot of detail in the highs to a point that they might even be fatiguing for some people it's like a

136
00:09:34,839 --> 00:09:41,519
lot of like a lot of those high like the the the sounds of blades and guts are

137
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,560
very pronounced yeah and I'm not even using the virtual surround we we'll give

138
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,560
that a second to try the virtual surround out see if that makes things a

139
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,720
little bit uh more immersive I find them as default a

140
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,640
little fatiguing luckily there's an EQ so you can really tailor the sound to

141
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:00,360
however you like it um we're using the virtual surround

142
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,880
now again it's it's ni it's a nice to

143
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:08,959
have it might be more effective for you I don't get a lot of use out of it

144
00:10:05,959 --> 00:10:08,959
so

145
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,440
yeah apparently these don't have any RGB

146
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,399
which is a bold move for ASUS I was really expecting more than just a blue

147
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,519
and a red LED that would indicate status a pretty solid software experience I

148
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:25,800
know Armory crate can be hit or miss for people I've had good experiences with it

149
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:30,399
I think it's pretty good software surprisingly great microphone

150
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,760
performance on these Lots of features a

151
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:36,800
$200 price tag that puts it in a very competitive segment you know competing

152
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,120
with a lot of other gaming headsets thanks for watching and thanks to ASUS

153
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:46,000
for sponsoring this video if you're interested in learning more about these headphones you can check out a link in

the description box down there bye-bye

155
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,079
ShortCircuit
