This year’s Computex might have you dreaming big of AI and high-end CPUs, but there are a ton of great new gadget and peripheral announcements hidden under all of it as well. One of the coolest is the Asus ROG Delta II gaming headset.
A new gaming headset iteration might not seem that exciting, especially since it sports a similar design to other ROG Delta headsets. But don’t let the exterior fool you — this bad boy will offer up some remarkable tech.
The most notable is Asus’ DualFlow Audio feature which allows you to listen to two different audio sources at the same time via 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth, or toggle between them. So now you can easily take that mobile call from your parents during the heat of battle without ruining your precious KDA score in Call of Duty. It even has two sets of volume wheels, one on either side, so you can separately control the volume for each audio feed.
The 315 gram headset also comes with a modular-esque design that allows you to swap out ear cushions (both fabric and leatherette cushions are included) and comes with a detachable 10 mm microphone.
Asus claims the Delta II will last up to a whopping 110 hours (with the RGB turned off) which, if true, will be considerably longer than their previous models. And it also promises a mere 40 ms of latency for Bluetooth, which would give it one of the lowest latencies of any gaming headset.
The Delta II should also provide incredible audio quality thanks to its 50 mm titanium-plated diaphragm drivers. It seems impressive, but we’ll just have to wait and see if they sound as incredible as Asus alleges.
The Asus ROG Delta II is confirmed to be available beginning in Q3 2024, when it will try to crack our guide to the best gaming headsets.
