About this item
- 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.
- ASUS Ai NC MIC - The ASUS AI Noise-Canceling Microphone (AI Mic) has a dedicated processor that’s designed to reduce over 500 million types of background noise while preserving vocal harmonics for crystal-clear in-game voice communication. Common background noises such as chatter, keyboard clatter and mouse clicks are reduced by up to 95%.
- HIGH-RES ESS QUAD DAC - The ESS 9281 Quad DAC contains four digital-to-analog converters (DAC) that provide lossless audio processing. DAC for each frequency band — low, mid, high and ultra-high — for clearer sound, and an unparalleled 130 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
- 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.
- CUSTOMIZABLE AniMe MATRIX DISPLAY - Cutting-edge AniMe Matrix displays on each ear cup feature mini-LEDs that can be programmed to show off your style with custom lighting designs, unique animations and live audio visualizations.
- CRAFTED FOR COMFORT - ROG Delta S Animate headset is exceptionally lightweight at only 310 grams. 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.

This sure is little bulky, but not as bulky as razers gaming headsets I think. Because of its enough cushions and comfort it gives while wearing, I don't feel its entire weight on my head that much and I can wear this for a long periods of time. I'm not a sound expert, but its sound-quality is definitely better than Hyper-x alpha. Its surround sound is pretty impressive. This is my first high-end headset and with 7.1 surround sound. Cheaper headsets with 7.1 surround sound always had huge compromises on the sound quality, but this one seems to have fulfilled the high-quality sound. It feels like I'm wearing pairs of decent speakers.
Its setting can be adjusted with their dedicated app and it works, but I'm not so sure about its noise cancelling mic. I think it would be nice if they provide something like a tutorial for customizing the headset with the app in detail because I don't know if the noise cancelling mic is actually working or not.
I thought this one also would have a little bit of noise cancelling on the audio/speaker, but unfortunately, it didn't block any noise nor sounds coming from the headset. So forget about playing games while wearing this in a place like library and expect people not to hear you game.
However, overall, its price makes sense. Built with good plastics, aluminum/metal-ish material, and aesthetically compact despite of its sound-quality; and USB type-c at that.
The wire, wire . its wire is something I had to get used to because most of the products that I've used so far, that had only one wire on the either left of right, but this one has two on the both sides. And it feels like you're wearing a headset and also a necklace that's hanging on your headset. I guess both wires were required for its power. I wouldn't give this headset up just because it has two wires.
Buttons on the headset itself is also a nice touch. I'm glad that they didn't put the buttons on the wire. That would've been so annoying.
RGB lighting is unnecessary and generates a bit of surface heat, but it looks primum and you also have option on the button to turn this feature off.
In terms of sizing, it seems pretty versatile.
I've never used any audio products from Asus & ROG. This is good purchase. Good thing I didn't rush over to get a replacement for my hyper-x alpha right away. I waited for this headset to be release for about a month. Now I don't get headache b/c of freaking headset. I hate you Hyper-x alpha. it tortured my head for a year, and now I'm a free man
Then I came across the Delta S Animate. I actually bought this headset pre owned through Amazon Warehouse. The listing said that the packaging was going to arrive damaged but surprisingly, it was in like new condition when it arrived! At that point, I was very excited to try it out.
And boy was it worth it. Not only did it fit my head perfectly, The Anime Matrix display on the headset was so fun to mess around with. Being able to personalize my headset like no one else on the market ever could was a weird but fun feeling. It’s a bit gimmicky, but really fun to show off to your friends.
As for the audio quality itself, it’s definitely the best out of any headset I’ve tried, the surround sound works very well on this device and thanks to it being lightweight, I didn’t feel like there was a rock strapped to my head!
Definitely a 10/10 headset if you get it for the right price like I did, I think $250 MSRP is a bit much for what you’re given, but for what I paid, (which was around $80,) it is VERY well worth the money. :)

Also, my headset is a bit different from the description. The switch button is not labeled "7.1 surround | stereo mode" as the description. The switch button is labeled "PC/NB | Phone."
Other than that, my MacBook Pro can set up this headset as 7.1 or 5.1.2 (Atmos). My wife's HP can also set up 7.1. However, the sound position is not distinct in both laptops. We cannot tell the different positions of each channel other than left, right, and center.
The headset is comfortable. We have big heads but do not feel the headset pressing on our heads or ears.
For PS4, I have to set the switch button to "Phone" instead of "PC/NB" so that PS4 can recognize this headset.
The box says this headset is compatible with smart devices but does not work with iPhones. Asus should change the description to avoid being sued for false advertisements.

Reviewed in Canada on July 29, 2023
However, these require tuning to get the best out of them in the 7.1 mode on PC.
The directional sound takes time to get used to for games but it's quite impressive when set up right, but to get the best true 7.1 sound, takes some fiddling.
I recommend downgrading to the firmware version 0034 for the best sounding experience as well as using the preset from the screenshot attached in the armory app.
(Google "theta 7.1 0034 firmware" and you can find the the correct instructions on the ROG forum to downgrade to the best 7.1 firmware for games.)
Alternatively, set the headphones to "Mobile" via the switch and enjoy incredible 7.1 virtual surround on your next gen consoles and/or phone!
My only gripe is the price, but I'd say they're worth it if you want the best.
