Soundwave Light Effects

Exclusive Soundwave light effects make lights flash in sync with the sound of your voice. You can activate the effects via the control switch on the ear cup.

High-Resolution ESS 9281 Quad DAC™

The ESS 9281 Quad DAC™ contains four digital-to-analog converters (DAC) that provide lossless audio processing. There's a DAC for each frequency band — low, mid, high and ultra-high — for clearer sound, and an unparalleled 130 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). With ROG Delta S Animate, you can hear every detail and enjoy crisp, clear sound for a true-to-life audio experience.

Built-In MQA Renderer

Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is an award-winning audio technology that delivers studio-quality sound and reveals every detail of the original recording. The ROG Delta S Animate headset can connect to an MQA core signal, which is used by global streaming service apps such as TIDAL, to complete the final 'unfold' of an MQA music file and provide incredible audio quality.

High SNR in FPS Games

A high signal-to-noise ratio is critical for gaming headsets, especially in FPS games. A higher SNR allows you to precisely pinpoint the origin of enemy footsteps, or hone in on the location of gunfire or explosions on the battlefield. With its ESS 9281 Quad DAC™ design, ROG Delta S Animate is capable of achieving an unprecedented 130 dB SNR, unrivaled by single DAC headsets.

Crystal-Clear Highs and Punchy Bass

The exclusive ASUS Essence drivers are mounted in airtight chambers for clearer, richer audio. These high-resolution drivers feature a wide frequency response of 20–40 kHz to provide incredibly strong bass and optimized gaming audio, so you'll hear every detail while enjoying an all-around immersive acoustic experience.

Ergonomic D-shaped ear cups closely match the shape of your ears to reduce unnecessary contact areas by up to 20%, and a sloped design provides better comfort and also helps improve sound quality by channeling audio directly into the ear canal, tilting the drivers at a 12° angle.

Today I tell you about my listening experience with the ASUS ROG Delta S Animate gaming headset, which winks at audiophiles with its quadruple DAC and 50mm drivers! I really enjoyed the power of the sound, the report card of this headset is very good, the sounds all render very well and they are very comfortable.

ROG Delta S Animate are customisable headphones, I find them super soft and comfortable. The LED lights are crazy, I find them very beautiful! You can hear very well

I liked this headset because it can be used on many devices, it can give game sounds very well, its microphone is successful and it is also successful in terms of music performance.

You can change effects such as animations or gifs through the software.

Simply amazing!

Whether in the audio player, whether watching a blockbuster, whether in the game Monster Hunter Rise, the ASUS ROG Delta S Animate headset will take you by the skin and transport you to the land of escapism.
