Asus ROG Pelta: one-minute review
The ROG Pelta is another banger machine from Asus gaming division.
Not a huge issue, but it may be a dealbreaker for some users.
For me, though, Ive been very satisfied with this headset and its feature set.
The Pelta, though, doesn’t give the impression it’s losing out on the features front.
That means, for the most part, youre getting the same high-end beast but cheaper.
Ill swear by the sound quality and microphone quality of the Pelta.
Though heavy bass does suffer compared to a headset like the Logitech G Pro X2.
Its an acceptable battery life and a welcome downsize from the enormous 1,800mAh battery in the Delta II.
Finally, the buttons present on the headset feel very sensible.
Asus ROG Armory Crate app offers a decent user experience for making sound quality adjustments.
Of course, you dont merely have to use a preset.
The microphone quality was a bit middle-of-the-road, but I didnt expect breathtaking clarity.
The much more expensive Logitech G Pro X2 has the same microphone arrangement and produces similar results.
Youll have no problem being understood with this microphone, but its certainly not broadcast spec.
Still, design is another area where the Pelta took a noticeable step down from the Delta II.
The only other thing that irked me on the design front was the microphone.
Its surrounded by a triangular plastic casing and needs to be inserted at the exact angle.
Should you buy the Asus ROG Pelta?
