The ASUS ROG Theta 7.1 is a premium wired gaming headset featuring true 7.1 surround sound and eight separate Essence drivers per ear cup, providing precise audio positioning and immersive gaming experiences. This headset, compatible with USB and USB-C, integrates four high-resolution ESS-9601 headphone drivers and a dedicated ROG home theater 7.1 DAC for lossless audio playback. The innovative driver configuration delivers a full frequency range with powerful virtual bass and enables accurate detection of directional cues such as footsteps and gunshots for competitive advantages. With aluminum alloy housings and headband construction, the headset ensures improved heat dissipation and long-term durability. The ROG hybrid ear cushions combine specialized cooling fabric and artificial leather for exceptional comfort during long gaming sessions, with pressure reduction for glasses wearers. Two interchangeable ear cushion types are included: thinner cooling mesh versions for mobile gaming and thicker variants with additional cooling material for marathon sessions. An AI-powered noise-canceling microphone provides crystal-clear in-game communication by filtering out background noise. Direct controls include a one-button switch between surround and stereo, as well as robust toggle switches for volume, microphone, and RGB lighting. Customizable Aura RGB lighting with the ROG logo offers over 16.8 million color combinations and four preset effects. The USB-C connection ensures broad compatibility with PC, Mac, mobile devices, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The ergonomic reverse D-shaped ear cushions with optimized clamping force provide a secure, comfortable fit for all-day use. This unisex gaming headset for adults measures approximately 20.5 cm in width, 19.5 cm in height, and 10.5 cm in depth, with a cable length of 200 cm and a weight of 420 g.
