The ASUS ROG Theta Electret gaming headset looks identical to the Theta 7.1 with the exception of the glowing ROG logo in glorious RGB lighting. In fact, the logo is in metallic silver. The ear cups are more oval shaped than round. You also have the aluminium alloy frame which connects the ear cups to the headband.

ASUS ROG Theta Electret Review - When clarity is key

Excellent

GREAT AND SOLID CONSTRUCTION FOR PREMIUM GAMING HEADPHONES

Editor's Choice

The ASUS ROG Theta Electret is an unusual headset that offers a very high quality of stereo sound throughout the entire declared frequency range.

PCGaming.Tech Gold

The headset appears to be decidedly balanced if not even tending to emphasize medium-high frequencies, an aspect that allows us to do justice to many musical genres that are often listened to underestimating some frequencies and consequently "choking" some instruments (classical guitars rather than electric or vocals) which instead come to life in crystal clear and ringing sounds.
