“The ROG Delta S Animate’s fun lights are its main draw, but you won’t see them while gaming.”

Great audio quality ; Multi-platform support ; Soft ear padding ; RBG lighting system

Expensive ; Not wireless ; Feels quite heavy

Superb overall sound quality ; Plenty of customisation options ; Works with lots of devices

Design won't suit everyone ; No wireless option ; More expensive than some

Excellent comfort and great choice of earcups ; Interesting beamforming mic design ; Loud drivers ; Fast-charging battery ; Easily customisable controls

Sound a bit hollow at times ; Battery life isn't as good as others

The ROG Delta S Wireless is an interesting proposition. It requires a bit of tweaking to get sounding right, but, generally, it's been fun to play with and makes for a nice package.

Comfortable headband and earcup padding ; Impressive high-resolution audio ; Intelligent mic noise cancellation ; RGB lighting - including on the go

Mic monitoring is problematic ; No 3.5mm connection ; Audio sounds more tinny during gaming

This gaming headset is a mixed bag. It's comfortable to wear, plus sounds fantastic when listening to music on Tidal, but to our ears it just lacks depth for gaming and the microphone should be better too.

+ Great audio quality ; + Customizable LEDs ; + Audio Interface Software

- Expensive

This headset isn’t for newbies; it is for audiophiles. That’s not to say it can’t fulfil the needs of a new content creator.

Great sound quality ; Clear and open sound ; Built quality is as good as it gets ; Mic is improved

No 3.5mm converter in the box ; AI mic is meh ; Might sound too mature for gaming

For the gamer that is covertly an audiophile

+ Amazing audio clarity ; + Solid build quality ; + Light, comfortable design and fit

- Short cable ; - Slight sound leakage

The Asus ROG Delta S comes to play with an excellent design, RGB lighting, superior sound from its Quad DAC and even an MQA renderer. If you want premium cans for both gaming and music, this might be the one.
