TAIPEI, Taiwan, February 17, 2020 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced Theta Electret, a cutting-edge gaming headset featuring electret and ASUS Essence airtight neodymium bass drivers for exceptional audiophile sound that immerses listeners deeply in games and music. Winner of a 2019 iF Product Design award, ROG Theta Electret has exceptional build quality and an ergonomic design that make it both durable and comfortable to wear. The headset supports a variety of platforms, including PCs, Macs, game consoles, Nintendo Switch and mobile phones. It can also be paired with DACs and amplifiers, enabling users to enjoy music, movies and games with high-fidelity audio quality.
Sound true to life, bass true to gaming
ROG Theta
Electret is a headset for both audiophiles and gamers alike, delivering
exceptional sound and ultimate gaming immersion in a robust, high-quality
design. The electret driver technology delivers true-to-life sound quality,
particularly in the high- to mid-frequency range. Users can combine this
headset with a high-end DAC or amplifier for pure, high-resolution sound when
gaming or listening to music.
To
completely immerse users in any game, ROG Theta Electret pairs each electret
driver with an independent ASUS Essence neodymium driver that features an airtight
chamber design to deliver optimized bass. Additionally, silver-plated copper
wire ensures a high quality audio signal and complements the electret driver to
deliver high-resolution sound quality — especially in the high frequency ranges
— with exceptional clarity and imaging.
ROG Theta
Electret also features a specially tuned boom microphone that utilizes signal
diversion technology, which reduces interference between frequency ranges for
purer and clearer audio. ROG Theta Electret headset is certified with leading
communication apps, including Discord and TeamSpeak.
Superior comfort and heat dissipation for extended use
ROG Theta
Electret comes with both ROG Hybrid and 100% protein leather ear cushions,
letting users tailor the comfort of the headphones to their preference. ROG
Hybrid ear cushions feature fast-cooling fabric that reduces heat by up to 25%
to help gamers stay cool during long gaming sessions. Both sets of ear cushions
enable gamers to play for long periods of time without fatigue or overheating
and provide excellent comfort and sound isolation. The cushions also have a reverse-D
shape that holds the headset firmly and comfortably in place.
ROG Theta Electret also offers improved comfort
for users who wear glasses. A section of each ear cushion is softer than the
surrounding area, creating a channel that reduces pressure on the stems of
eyeglasses. To further improve comfort during long gaming and listening
sessions, ROG Theta Electret features heat-dissipating aluminum-alloy ear-cup
covers and yokes.
