We feel that the Asus Xonar Xense soundcard and Sennheiser PC 350 headset are a perfect match and we’re sure that anyone who listens to them will agree. The performance is enhanced significantly by the extensive features in the included software, especially virtual surround sound.
Asus haven’t compromised at all on quality, using high quality components for the soundcard and coupling it with one of the finest gaming headsets on the market. The build-quality of the headset is second-to-none and would recommend it to anyone, even if it isn’t paired with the soundcard.
As you’ll find with most impressive products, though, the Asus Xonar Xense Bundle doesn’t come cheap. But we feel that the £175 at Overclockers UK is completely justified and at this price, we would recommend it to anyone looking for a perfectly matched headset and soundcard for gaming.
KitGuru says: A match made in heaven that we would recommend to anyone.
Expensive, but a quality product. Henry, how does it compare to say a realtek onboard sound card? Id love to know the discernable differences.
IT isnt really that expensive, considering the bundle. sure its not an impulse buy, but most people buying one of these will already know what they want. Asus have stiff competition against turtle and other dedicated companies, but ive heard quite a lot of good things about this sonar. cool name btw, not like some of the names.
Id need to really hear this, I find onboard sound is really good for what I need, and this would get me a new CPU. Wish more stores did live tests with these things, then we could hear for ourselves. hard to justify 200 for a product that might need higher quality partnering hardware than some of us have.
Really like this bundle, been looking for a new sound card for a while as the onboard solutions are crap. There is a big difference trust me !
excellent. its unusual for a company like asus to bundle headphones from another company without rebadging them with their own stickers etc. they will probably sell more this way however as sennheiser have a good rep.
Quality product from Asus. people who bitch about price never buy their motherboard either then, and they are missing out on the finest build quality on the net. bar none. (although MSI are close now).
How compatible is their software? I bought a creative sound card last year and christ, its bloatware city. I had to deinstall half of it. is this the same principle?
