WEBVTT

00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.920
oh

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

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:14.519
loser and the only way to get involved is to buy these that's not true

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:19.880
anybody's welcome in the Republic of Gamers this is the ASUS Rog Delta s

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.560
Wireless this is the newest entry into their Delta series of wireless headsets

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

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

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:35.640
should probably before we get to the headphones do the packaging so as you

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:40.160
can see right on the front we got some symbols we got PlayStation 5 support

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:43.920
that's awesome Discord certified and what is that te TeamSpeak do people

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:47.520
still use TeamSpeak these feature dual mode wireless connectivity which means

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

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

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:01.039
your Mac your Nintendo switch and even your mobile phone which is awesome you

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.799
got AI beam pering microphones with AI noise cancellation that's two AI okay

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:10.159
that's a lot comfortable lightweight design battery life and fast charging up

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:14.000
to 25 hours of battery life with a 15-minute fast charge providing 3 hours

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.560
of use that's actually pretty good okay let's take a

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.680
look

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:26.960
wow this is an interesting like textured plastic okay welcome to the elite

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:34.439
Republic of Gamers Community okay in this box is some paperwork

00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:36.640
and also a o a braided usba to USBC

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:42.360
cable if only I had bananas around me for scale behind you in the

00:01:52.360 --> 00:02:01.719
trees okay yeah yeah so we got one banana two banana three banana four

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

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

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

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

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.840
have these spare ear cups these have a polyester fabric exterior and a protein

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:26.560
leather interior it's the same protein leather that makes up these entire ear

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:29.959
cups what protein leather is it's just plastic leather it's another term which

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:33.800
is great because I think vegan products are cool as well as we've gotten really

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

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

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.319
really sweaty ears during gameplay I don't have that problem but I've heard

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

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

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

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:00.159
these just have like kind of a plastic wrapping usually headphones will have

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:03.519
more of a plastic structure on the inside of these and they'll like kind of

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.000
clip in or magnetize in especially on the premium end headphones so here you

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:12.200
just kind of slide it in around the edge okay this this could be

00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:14.599
better I'm regretting taking them off now that we have now that we've just

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

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

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

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.799
premium and are also ejecting fingerprints pretty well which I

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:39.920
appreciate you got that kind of uh that angry glare for the Rog

00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:41.360
logo the exclusive 50 mm ASUS Essence

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

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

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:53.760
microphones like say like your airpods the microphones are all the way over

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.239
here but the sound comes out of your mouth out here which is why ASUS has

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

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

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:09.920
cancellation or RTX sound RTX voice we're going to see something like that

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

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:19.880
a function button so this will do like pause play skip this is a microphone and

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:24.040
then up here is an audio control knob allows you to turn your volume up turn

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.280
your volume down and if you press it in it's going to mute your microphone

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

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:35.400
side we have have a little house for your dongle ain't that cute okay so

00:04:32.919 --> 00:04:39.160
putting them on you know there's not very much clamping Force like they they

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

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

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

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

00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:01.280
ears aren't touching the ear cups at all they're not touching the actual drivers

00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:03.520
or the inside of the ear cup sound

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

00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:11.320
wearing headphones I'm usually talking with other people and I can find S like

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:14.520
too much sound isolation to be isolating and then it feels like I'm yelling all

00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:17.800
the time um maybe I am yelling right now and there's actually good sound

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:20.960
isolation but who knows so I plugged in the dongle I've turned the headphones on

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

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:32.000
Windows has seen it it does it's identified as the RG Delta s Wireless so

00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:33.520
it's we in boys we in update all so you

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.720
you will have to download an AI noise cancellation audio software so you can

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:41.639
see that when it's looking for pairing it has a blinking

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:45.600
light pair cool and it reports the battery life let's see what codec we're

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:48.840
using is not reporting me a codec I don't know what codex it supports for

00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:52.199
Bluetooth we're just doing some quick listening Impressions with the Bluetooth

00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:55.720
this is going to be music not really the main intention of these headphones but

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

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

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:08.120
excellent listening experience for music but that's not really the intention of

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

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

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:22.280
from explosions and other deep like gunshots and sound effects like that

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

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

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

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

00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.960
to the new mode it found it immediately also something that's nice is that it

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

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:54.919
it'll say Bluetooth I really appreciate that that makes it way easier wow okay

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

00:06:57.479 --> 00:07:04.000
our audio you get 16 bits of 48,000 khz

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:07.039
in the app we have various different EQ

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.280
profiles virtual surround base boost

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:13.280
compressor voice Clarity a noise gate for a microphone as well as different

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:17.599
levels of noise cancellation this is a lot of features Reverb I don't want that

00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:23.400
interesting so there's a lot of different EQ options as well as a

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:26.120
built-in 10 band EQ which is very nice

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

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:32.639
them to we also have the virtual surround sound which we we can oh it has

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.120
of a better idea of what like traffic noise and stuff like that will sound

00:07:57.039 --> 00:08:01.120
like just a really worst case scenario

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:09.879
connected we're going to take a listen on the on the

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:13.879
speakers okay so this is me talking with some

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:19.000
sound in the background this is without AI noise suppression we're now going to

00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:23.720
add in the AI noise cancellation this is the AI noise

00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:30.639
cancellation that's really good that's really impressive can

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:33.959
you you can hear the PoE this is the AI

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.680
cancellation at Mid how does that sound

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

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:43.039
about the AI noise cancellation at high as you increase the level of noise

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:46.640
cancellation your voice is going to start to sound less and less natural and

00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:49.600
more robotic because taking out sound is really really difficult so you might

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

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:59.440
because it might have the best performance tradeoff for you now uh this

00:08:57.880 --> 00:09:04.120
is the microphone with me typing and I'm I'm typing pretty

00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:09.040
hard and then this is the microphone with noise cancellation on low with me

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

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:20.160
uh Schnell throw a grenade o I'm

00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:22.760
timating um uh what else does Gamers say

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:27.560
uh let's go you know the directionality of the

00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:32.200
sounds pretty good the lots of impact in the base it's a little bit

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

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

00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:44.560
very pronounced yeah and I'm not even using the virtual surround we we'll give

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.560
that a second to try the virtual surround out see if that makes things a

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:52.720
little bit uh more immersive I find them as default a

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:55.640
little fatiguing luckily there's an EQ so you can really tailor the sound to

00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:00.360
however you like it um we're using the virtual surround

00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:02.880
now again it's it's ni it's a nice to

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

00:10:05.959 --> 00:10:08.959
so

00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:15.440
yeah apparently these don't have any RGB

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:19.399
which is a bold move for ASUS I was really expecting more than just a blue

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:22.519
and a red LED that would indicate status a pretty solid software experience I

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

00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:30.399
I think it's pretty good software surprisingly great microphone

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.760
performance on these Lots of features a

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:36.800
$200 price tag that puts it in a very competitive segment you know competing

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:40.120
with a lot of other gaming headsets thanks for watching and thanks to ASUS

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
