Asus ROG Delta S Animate review: sound and featuresĪsus certainly hasn't skimped on the features here, with a hi-fi ESS 9281 Quad DAC installed, support for 7.1 virtual surround sound, MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) compatibility for additional audio detail, and 50mm Neodymium magnet drivers that provide a broad frequency response of 20-40,000 Hz. Overall, it feels like a quality piece of hardware. Along the top you've got a cushioned, adjustable headband with a leather-like finish, while the ear cups also fold flat if you're putting them around your neck. There are switches on the left ear cup, one for controlling the headset lighting and one for volume, which are easy to locate and firm to the touch.
Another option is to have the dot matrix displays show a shifting sound wave that moves in time to your voice when you're on the mic, which is rather cool.Īside from the AniMe Matrix, this is a really well-put-together headset. You can even load in your own images, although of course they'll be simplified and have the colour taken out of them to fit the sides of the headset. The AniMe Matrix mini-LED dot matrix lighting system won't suit everyone, but if you do happen to like it, there are plenty of ways of tweaking it: there's a variety of built-in images and animations to pick from, and they can all be customised. It means that the headset is particularly appealing if you're planning to use it with a PC, less so for Mac. While the plug-and-play audio functionality will work on any device with a USB-C or USB-A port, the software is required to access features like the sound optimisation equaliser and the AniMe Matrix customisations (the static or moving pattern on the side of the ear cups). You then need the free-to-download Armoury Crate software from Asus, although this is only available on Windows. You also get a spare pair of ear cushions, with a leather-like rather than a fabric finish. The built-in USB-C cable is really well done, 1.5 metres long and nicely braided for a feeling of extra quality. There's no wireless connection available here, so there's no need for a wireless dongle. Open up the box that the Asus ROG Delta S Animate comes in and you'll find the headset itself, the detachable microphone, and a USB-C to USB-A cable adapter (in case you don't have any USB-C ports on the device you're connecting to).
