We are very impressed with what the Asus Republic of Gamers Vulcan Pro headset has to offer. We're glad to see that Asus are building on the strengths of their original Vulcan ANC headset.
The Vulcan Pro offers great sound quality and is perfect for FPS gaming when you use the USB sound card. The FPS mode and virtual surround sound features really enhance the gaming experience.
We also like the headphone amplifier feature which boosts volume to an impressive level. This is one of the loudest headsets we've tested and we're happy to say that sound quality doesn't suffer even when you crank up the volume.
We love the design of the headset and the red and black colour scheme is sure to win favour with gamers. Build quality isn't quite top grade, but is far from bad. The materials used in construction feel solidly put together and it's great to see Asus including a braided cable.
At a price of £100 from CCL the Vulcan Pro is quite expensive and will only be available to those with big budgets. We feel it's worth the money as the FPS mode and virtual surround sound really enhance the experience compared to the original Vulcan ANC. If you don't require these features or have a restricted budget, you can buy the Vulcan ANC for £70 from Overclockers UK.
