Rog theta electret + rog throne qi gaming headphone combo
Table of contents:
In coverage of Computex 2019, ASUS has let us try its combo of gaming peripherals, the ROG Theta Electret and the ROG Throne Qi . The two devices, which work as one, seek to be benchmarks of sound quality and gaming aesthetics at the same time and here we will see what their benefits are.
ROG Theta Electret
Starting big, we will first talk about the headphones of the international ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers), whose slogan is "For gamers, for audiophiles".
ROG Theta Electret at your booth
As you can see, the ROG Theta Electret are helmets of a generous size. They have a metal skeleton, but its most important parts are made of plastic and rubber. It has only one arch and is made of quilted fabric. On the other hand, the pads are made of a plastic material, which easily cover our ears.
However, the grace of these headphones is that they try to be a benchmark in terms of sound quality in gaming peripherals. According to the same ASUS:
It is the first headset with a dynamic software system that not only delivers exceptionally near-real sound, but also powerful bases.
The inside of the cable is made of copper and silver, which guarantees us high-frequency sounds with excellent fidelity, while the outer part is braided with an especially wide thickness that gives us security. Between the lows and highs, we've got the full range of sounds covered, so we can expect good quality from them. Additionally, ASUS claims that the ROG Theta Electret's microphone has clean and truthful audio pickup certified by TeamSpeak and Discord.
Finally, ASUS mentions the metal skeleton that runs through the entire headband will serve to reduce the temperature of the device. We are not sure how good it will be, but as long as it is functional, it is a feature that we will appreciate, especially in summer.

However, this is not all we have to talk about. The ROG Theta Electret are accompanied by a buddy , the ROG Throne Qi, which we will see next.

ROG Throne Qi
The ROG Throne Qi is a fitting name for what this headphone stand claims to be. This peripheral serves, mainly, as an adventure companion to the headphones discussed previously and offers us very characteristic functionalities.

As a main function, the stand is used to pose the headphones once we have finished the session, but that is not all. The base of the peripheral supports Qi wireless charging (hence its name) and will help us to enjoy a better day-to-day experience.
Continuing with the body, the base has two USB 3.1 ports on the left side and the peripheral, in general, has a very elegant design. It mounts LED lighting at the base and on the pole, both glowing in a good million colors. As expected, everything is compatible with ASUS AURA SYNC .
Finally, the DAC ESS Saber that we discussed before, is mounted inside the stand, so if we want to enjoy the highest audio quality we must cross “through” this device.
Final thoughts on the duo
This combination of peripherals is not unusual, other brands have tried similar things, but in this case each individual peripheral offers peculiar things. One wireless charging and a quality DAC. The other sounds true to reality and the indispensable microphone to play.
WE RECOMMEND YOU Asus announces ZenWatch 2As a combo they may not stand out, but each device individually is something we should be aware of.
If we visit the brands of headphones for audiophiles, we see that they have made some attempts in the gaming world. However, this may be the first time that the attempt is in the reverse direction.
We expect great things from this duo, although we also anticipate that they will come to the market for an approximate value of € 250 , so we do not know if it is exactly worth it.
