ASUS ROG ORION PRO Gaming Headset Review 4

Posted by: Brann Mitchell on: 05/01/2013 08:10 AM [ 9 comment(s) ]

The ASUS ROG Orion Pro Gaming Headset are a mid-range set of cans aimed at online gamers.  Meant for extended sessions of gaming, they offer very high build quality, light weight with generous padding that make them disappear on your head.  The Orion Pro produce very good sound quality, gripping bass and very clear treble, and the retractable microphone is respectable with some adjustment to volume.  The included Spitfire USB Audio dongle adds value, but was a mixed bag. Offering interesting features like virtual surround, FPS 'EQ', and an amp, but decreased the overall sound quality to my ears.  Besides that, the Orion Pro are one of the best headsets I've tested so far, and for $120US, are a pretty good deal to boot.  Highly recommended.

C'mon guys, stop saying that you own this and like that, talk about the damn review and stop these kind of comments.

Good day.

Good day.

It's not a ''damn'' review - instead, it is a good and reliable one, just like any reviews made by Mr. Hilbert H.

Another thing is that what is to be commented here is not a review itself, but the product which happens to be it's subject. And once we start to discuss the value of the item that has been reviewed, it is almost inevitable to compare it to the other, similar items. That is why we mention other headsets here...

Reviews of audio equipment are very subjective. Everyone's ears are sensitive to different frequencies and as such the overall experience will vary from user to user. Quite honestly, when you can get high quality headphones and separate microphones for half the price of these "gaming headsets", the "gaming headsets" tend to lack true value.

The review wasn't done by Hilbert himself but by Brann Mitchell (as noted in the article). The author should be given proper credit for his work. It's a very well written review.
