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.

20Hz to ~20 KHz frequency response...in 2013...at that price?! For $60 I'd say it's great, for $120 it's definitely a bit comical. But heck it's Asus and it's overpriced and it's recommended so undoubtedly it will sell.

Great headset for less than 30$: Elecom E-Force GHS10

I have tried at least a 20 medium-to-high class models, during last 10 years, and I can guarantee that no headset can beat this one in terms of what you get for your money...

Meh.

for $20 less you can grab the Sennheiser HD-280 PRO and sleep better at night knowing that $100 went to a set of cans that is far better. plus you can use that spare $20 and get a clip on mic while you're at it.

Nice review though
