Asus is expanding its audio portfolio in India with the ROG Fusion II 500 and Fusion II 300 gaming cans. These two headphones will be packing a high-end ESS 9280 Quad DAC, AI Beamforming microphones for quelling the ambient noise, and a bunch of other treats to entice the gaming crowd.
Let’s break down the features one by one.
Starting off with the sound side of things, you get the ESS 9280 Quad DAC inside them that claims to be capable of transmitting lossless audio. Not only that, both the devices support virtual 7.1 surround sound.
And when it comes to listening, you get AI Beamforming mics on both Fusion II 500 and Fusion II 300 for noise cancellation. Asus says it creates a 40° acoustic zone wherein the background noises are prevented from hampering the user’s voice. Also, the accompanying AI Noise Cancelation algorithm should keep ambient noises at bay up to 95-percent.
Now if you fancy some shimmering lights on your headphone, then both of these sport AURA RGB lighting that can be customized using the brand’s Armoury Crate software. You can connect the headsets to PCs or chargers via USB-C and USB Type-A sockets.
Now among the two, the ROG Fusion II 500 comes with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a ‘Game Chat’ volume control slider on the ear cups for the volume of in-game audio as well as voice chat.
You can purchase the Asus ROG Fusion II 500 and Fusion II 300 in India starting March 2022 from leading online stores, authorized Asus outlets, and partner brick and mortar stores. The price of the ROG Fusion II 500 is ₹22,999, while the pricing for the ROG Fusion II 300 is yet to be revealed.
