oh
wow if you don't know who the Republic of gamers are then you're not a member
loser and the only way to get involved is to buy these that's not true
anybody's welcome in the Republic of Gamers this is the ASUS Rog Delta s
Wireless this is the newest entry into their Delta series of wireless headsets
and ASUS was kind enough to sponsor this video and send us over a pair so that we
could take a look and what do we have inside ooh it's headphones I guess we
should probably before we get to the headphones do the packaging so as you
can see right on the front we got some symbols we got PlayStation 5 support
that's awesome Discord certified and what is that te TeamSpeak do people
still use TeamSpeak these feature dual mode wireless connectivity which means
that it's using Bluetooth or you can use a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter which means
that you can use this with pretty much anything that you own you can use it with PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 your PC
your Mac your Nintendo switch and even your mobile phone which is awesome you
got AI beam pering microphones with AI noise cancellation that's two AI okay
that's a lot comfortable lightweight design battery life and fast charging up
to 25 hours of battery life with a 15-minute fast charge providing 3 hours
of use that's actually pretty good okay let's take a
look
wow this is an interesting like textured plastic okay welcome to the elite
Republic of Gamers Community okay in this box is some paperwork
and also a o a braided usba to USBC
cable if only I had bananas around me for scale behind you in the
trees okay yeah yeah so we got one banana two banana three banana four
banana four and about 20 4 and a/4 bananas which is about a meter so you
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
great cuz then it's nice and secure and you're way less likely to break the port
that's a really nice um touch I really appreciate that so Al also in the box we
have these spare ear cups these have a polyester fabric exterior and a protein
leather interior it's the same protein leather that makes up these entire ear
cups what protein leather is it's just plastic leather it's another term which
is great because I think vegan products are cool as well as we've gotten really
good at making fake leather and the fact that you get two choices of two ear cups
this is great these being fabric should bring extra breathability which will be really relieving for those who get
really sweaty ears during gameplay I don't have that problem but I've heard
your cries viewers and I know that it is a problem for some of you so I'm keeping
an eye out there was a guy on Twitter who reached out to me and so think about
you right now buddy how do I get them off oh they just come off like that so
these just have like kind of a plastic wrapping usually headphones will have
more of a plastic structure on the inside of these and they'll like kind of
clip in or magnetize in especially on the premium end headphones so here you
just kind of slide it in around the edge okay this this could be
better I'm regretting taking them off now that we have now that we've just
gotten into the headphones we'll take a look at the headphones they appear to have an all plastic construction with
metal for the headband they got a decent amount of flex they're 318 G these feel
lighter than you'd expect at first glance but the Plastics they're using actually feel quite nice um and look
premium and are also ejecting fingerprints pretty well which I
appreciate you got that kind of uh that angry glare for the Rog
logo the exclusive 50 mm ASUS Essence
drivers the nice thing I can see right here is that they're actually tilted a little bit ahead so what this is doing
is that this is bringing the driver out a little bit to direct the sound right into your ear so these use beam forming
microphones like say like your airpods the microphones are all the way over
here but the sound comes out of your mouth out here which is why ASUS has
Enlisted the power of AI to help with the beam forming microphones so basically they're going to be using a
for their noise cancellation which is like the same thing that you'd expect from Discord like their crisp noise
cancellation or RTX sound RTX voice we're going to see something like that
in these headphones so you have a switch for your 2.4 GHz your Bluetooth this is
a function button so this will do like pause play skip this is a microphone and
then up here is an audio control knob allows you to turn your volume up turn
your volume down and if you press it in it's going to mute your microphone
that's a great spot for it actually I really enjoy that and then over on this
side we have have a little house for your dongle ain't that cute okay so
putting them on you know there's not very much clamping Force like they they
barely seem to really be putting any pressure on the side of my head and if I
try and get more clamping force on the top then it kind of just pinches at the
top and then it feels like it's opening up at the bottom here these on my head
don't fit the best but I will say that there's lots of space for my ears my
ears aren't touching the ear cups at all they're not touching the actual drivers
or the inside of the ear cup sound
isolation is not amazing but I'm also like when I'm gaming I'm usually and I'm
wearing headphones I'm usually talking with other people and I can find S like
too much sound isolation to be isolating and then it feels like I'm yelling all
the time um maybe I am yelling right now and there's actually good sound
isolation but who knows so I plugged in the dongle I've turned the headphones on
it stopped blinking so I think it immediately found the dongle which is super great super quick let's see if
Windows has seen it it does it's identified as the RG Delta s Wireless so
it's we in boys we in update all so you
you will have to download an AI noise cancellation audio software so you can
see that when it's looking for pairing it has a blinking
light pair cool and it reports the battery life let's see what codec we're
using is not reporting me a codec I don't know what codex it supports for
Bluetooth we're just doing some quick listening Impressions with the Bluetooth
this is going to be music not really the main intention of these headphones but
um I still stand by the whole idea that if it's a good set of headphones it's
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
excellent listening experience for music but that's not really the intention of
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
like really low we're talking like below 30 HZ so you get nice rumbles and like
from explosions and other deep like gunshots and sound effects like that
they've also cranked up the higher frequencies so you can hear more details and things like say like Footsteps in
gravel so you can tell if somebody's going to be coming up and approaching you sound stage for a closed back
headphone I'm they're pretty good there's a lot of directionality to the sound things are placed very well um and
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
to the new mode it found it immediately also something that's nice is that it
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
it'll say Bluetooth I really appreciate that that makes it way easier wow okay
there's actually a lot of stuff in here not only can we change the bit depth of
our audio you get 16 bits of 48,000 khz
in the app we have various different EQ
profiles virtual surround base boost
compressor voice Clarity a noise gate for a microphone as well as different
levels of noise cancellation this is a lot of features Reverb I don't want that
interesting so there's a lot of different EQ options as well as a
built-in 10 band EQ which is very nice
it's great to be able to change it and make things sound exactly how you want
them to we also have the virtual surround sound which we we can oh it has
a demo in it let's see there we go it's working now so what it's doing right now
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
panning from left to right I assume it's supposed to be going around in a circle
but it's showing us only in Stereo when I turn it on I have virtual surround
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
quality is going to be like we have got a fancy new speaker here to give a bit
of a better idea of what like traffic noise and stuff like that will sound
like just a really worst case scenario
connected we're going to take a listen on the on the
speakers okay so this is me talking with some
sound in the background this is without AI noise suppression we're now going to
add in the AI noise cancellation this is the AI noise
cancellation that's really good that's really impressive can
you you can hear the PoE this is the AI
cancellation at Mid how does that sound
can you hear it is the background stuff being cut out I don't really know how
about the AI noise cancellation at high as you increase the level of noise
cancellation your voice is going to start to sound less and less natural and
more robotic because taking out sound is really really difficult so you might
find that depending on your situation you'll probably want to go with like the low frequ the low AI noise cancellation
because it might have the best performance tradeoff for you now uh this
is the microphone with me typing and I'm I'm typing pretty
hard and then this is the microphone with noise cancellation on low with me
typing and uh I'm just be talking to you because I'm playing a game oh go get um
uh Schnell throw a grenade o I'm
timating um uh what else does Gamers say
uh let's go you know the directionality of the
sounds pretty good the lots of impact in the base it's a little bit
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
lot of like a lot of those high like the the the sounds of blades and guts are
very pronounced yeah and I'm not even using the virtual surround we we'll give
that a second to try the virtual surround out see if that makes things a
little bit uh more immersive I find them as default a
little fatiguing luckily there's an EQ so you can really tailor the sound to
however you like it um we're using the virtual surround
now again it's it's ni it's a nice to
have it might be more effective for you I don't get a lot of use out of it
so
yeah apparently these don't have any RGB
which is a bold move for ASUS I was really expecting more than just a blue
and a red LED that would indicate status a pretty solid software experience I
know Armory crate can be hit or miss for people I've had good experiences with it
I think it's pretty good software surprisingly great microphone
performance on these Lots of features a
$200 price tag that puts it in a very competitive segment you know competing
with a lot of other gaming headsets thanks for watching and thanks to ASUS
for sponsoring this video if you're interested in learning more about these headphones you can check out a link in
