Once again Asus ROG is once again betting on a very attractive and spectacular presentation that boasts the high quality of all its products. The Asus ROG Strix wireless wireless helmets come in a box in which the brand's corporate colors predominate, that is, black and red in a very characteristic combination and that is extremely easy to recognize and identify with the Taiwanese signature. It is a large box, much larger than what we are used to seeing in this type of product. On the front we find an image in which the illuminated LED lighting system is appreciated, as well as some of the main characteristics of these helmets such as its virtual 7.1 sound system. Also highlighted is its noise-canceling microphone and great comfort provided by its pads.

As soon as we focus our eyes on the Asus ROG Strix 7.1 we realize that we are facing helmets with tremendous quality and a very attractive design, not in vain we are talking about one of the most acclaimed manufacturers and with an indisputable quality in all its high-end products. We are dealing with wireless helmets with high fidelity and low latency virtual 7.1 sound using the 2.4 GHz wireless technology without latency. It features a 15-meter range, so you can use them without worrying about getting too far away from its USB wireless transceiver. In addition, 2.4 GHz wireless technology consumes less energy than Bluetooth and extends the autonomy up to 10 hours. The Asus ROG Strix 7.1 wireless incorporates two antennas with a system that automatically eliminates interference and ensures stable sound transmission even when you are in a difficult Wi-Fi environment.

We have a design in which the color black predominates, but there are also some touches of red, the design looks very solid and robust as well as aggressive and daring with hexagonal domes that are out of the classic circular design that we are used to. The Asus ROG Strix 7.1 Wireless are built with plastic and metal as the predominant materials, the first is the most abundant and it must be said that it transmits a high quality feeling and helps to achieve a much lighter product than if it had been abused Metal, these helmets have a weight of 350 grams, a fairly light figure if we consider that we are talking about very advanced and complex helmets.

We have a traditional double bridge design that is responsible for puncturing the helmets from above, achieving greater closing pressure on the pads, which improves the isolation of external noise compared to the single bridge system. Underneath the bridges is a padded synthetic leather upper strap to offer great comfort with two elastic ends, which covers the entire upper route of the head.

Now we look at the headphones area and we see a simple design, but at the same time very attractive and above all it looks very very robust. These are attached to the headband in such a way that a certain rotation is allowed to adapt better to the user and improve their comfort during long sessions of use, let's not forget that the Asus ROG Strix 7.1 wireless are helmets mainly intended for players who spend a lot of time hours in front of your PC. This zone also includes the different built-in controls for on / off, volume up / down, track change, and lighting control. the lighting system in red We really want to see it illuminated!

WE RECOMMEND YOU YOUR ZenScreen Touch, the new tablet from ASUS for work

We continue talking about the area of the headphones, and it is that as we have said inside, there are neodymium speakers capable of providing virtual 7.1 sound that is supported by Sonic Studio technology, equalization and several additional parameters that we can configure from the software and that intervene in the final quality of the generated sound. The speakers have cushions with a very abundant and soft padding that provides great comfort and will make it a delight to wear helmets during long sessions.

In the left earpiece we find the removable microphone in a very simple way so it will not bother us when we are not using it. It is a unidirectional microphone with noise cancellation technology that will allow us to communicate with our colleagues in a very comfortable way during our favorite games. This microphone has an impedance of 3.2 KOhm, a frequency range of 50-16, 000 Hz and a sensitivity of 40 dB.

Strix Sonic Studio

Always a good peripherals must be accompanied by a software to match, this time the Strix Sonic Studio allows us to make numerous modifications: volume control, use the equalizer, activate / deactivate the emulated surround system and eliminate noise from the sound. in addition to being able to control the microphone volume and hot testing all the modifications.

Experience and final words about the Asus ROG Strix Wireless

We have been able to test the Strix 7.1 for a few days and the result has been magnificent. In games like WoW, LOL, CS: GO and Overwatch the experience has been excellent and recommended for anyone who wants something very top of the range.

By incorporating a minijack cable system, it allows us to connect it to both desktops, laptops, smartphones / tablets and game consoles. What makes it the definitive helmets on the market. Its price in online stores ranges from 155 euros.
