Asus STRIX 2.0 Headset Review

In all, I have been very happy with the Asus STRIX 2.0 headset. Not only is it comfortable, but it is one of the best sounding headsets I have tested all year, with excellent drivers and a great microphone to boot. This is certainly a headset that Asus should be proud of.

The bold, eye-catching design won't be for everyone, but I am a fan of the large ear cups and the clamping pressure of this headset will stop it from slipping off of your head.

The microphone on this headset is one of the best I have tried, with excellent noise cancellation and crystal clear VOIP performance while the 60mm drivers deliver sound quality that would give the more expensive gaming headsets a run for their money.

While that is all well and good, I did encounter one slightly frustrating issue. This headset does emit a creaking sound when you move your head up and down, which can be distracting at times. Hopefully they can figure out a way to fix this for future product iterations although ASUS have told us that this is not a common issue. While we take them at their word, we can only analyse and review what we receive.

If you are in the market for a new gaming headset, the Asus STRIX 2.0 can be found for £56.32 on Amazon UK, which is very reasonable considering the quality that Asus has delivered here. At this price, I have no problem recommending this headset.

Pros:

• Excellent sound quality.
• Microphone does a good job of cancelling background noise.
• Bold design.

Cons:

• The frame can creak.

KitGuru Says: The Asus STRIX 2.0 is a fantastic gaming headset that could give more expensive models a run for their money.
