I’m pretty sure many of us here are using headsets to play games. It offers a more immersive sound while isolating surrounding noise and has a microphone built in. We had some fancy-looking headsets from ASUS quite some time ago, and now they’re bringing in their new headset – the ASUS ROG Strix Fusion 300 and Fusion 500 7.1 gaming headsets.

These two headsets are pretty similar to each other, but with notable differences. Let’s tale a look at each of them.

The Strix Fusion 300 comes with an airtight chamber with 50mm ASUS Essence driver to deliver deep and punchy bass. With the its lightweight construction and ROG Hybrid ear cushions, the Strix Fusion 300 promises to provide maximum comfort with great sound isolation. It can be connected to a PC, Mac, game consoles, and mobile devices. Plus, the built-in 7.1-channel surround-sound provides an immersive gaming experience.

Interestingly, the ROG Hybrid ear cushions are wrapped with protein leather – presumably PU leather – and breathable fabric mesh for better comfort. It’s an over-ear design and has 30% larger coverage area and 50% better sound isolation, according to ASUS.

Strix Fusion 300 features both a USB 2.0 connector and a 3.5mm audio jack so you can connect it up to whatever devices you want.
