Playing the game for a long time, he always felt how uncomfortable to wear the entry-level game headset he bought before, not only was it stuffy for a long time, but the sound quality was always up to the requirements, so he thought of changing headphones.

Fourth, ASUS ROG prism lens gaming headset review
1. Appearance
▼ When used normally, the appearance of this headset becomes more beautiful, and the outside of the headphone unit has a beautiful ARGB lighting effect, a circle outside, plus the ROG loser's eye LOGO in the middle.
▼ The color of the lighting effect is very beautiful, and the brightness is moderate.
▼ Under normal wear, the touch of this leather earmuff is very delicate, the sponge inside is relatively soft, and the experience of normal sticking to the cheek is still quite comfortable.
▼ The inside of the head beam is wrapped in leather, and the filling inside is also quite soft, and there is no obvious indentrusive feeling. But the weight of this headset is still slightly heavier, and the perception is obvious.
▼ When wearing, first adjust the headphone units on both sides of the headphones to the appropriate position, the damping performance of this slide is not bad, and the feeling of different positions is very clear.
▼ The light effect switch of the unit on the left side of the headset is very convenient, and the light effect is switched with one key.
▼ The volume adjustment below is not a common knob, but a lever, dial the volume +2 kind, the overall volume adjustment is very fine, there will be no sudden big kind of experience.
2. Games
▼ Simply play two games to try, the back monitor is MSI's esports MINI KONG MAX MAG274QRF-QD, mushroom usually the main monitor is it. Hardware parameters are powerful, and the game is usually very smooth and delicate. The performance of color gamut and color accuracy is also good, and there is no pressure to cope with simple retouching.
▼ Try PUBG first, I haven't played much after the update. The experience of listening to the sound positioning is quite good, although this is a game headset, but the overall soundstage does not give people a big feeling, but it is very regular, the extension of both sides and the extension of the surrounding area are not bad, and the listening steps have a clear sense of space. In addition, although it is only a game, it is very obvious that the quality of this headset is very high, there is a feeling of analysis of the explosion, no matter how complex the sound effects, it will be neatly listed for you, as long as you want to hear, you can hear. After playing for a while, the mushroom felt a little tired in the ears and too much information.
▼ After changing THE LOL, the overall feeling will be more comfortable, after all, the headphones are only used to listen to the skill sound effects. MSI Donkey Kong MAX is still very good to use. In terms of hardware quality, 27 inches, 2K resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, parameter performance is very good. In addition, this monitor uses fastIPS panel, the response time performance is very good, and there is almost no feeling of smearing when using daily high brushes. With quantum dot technology, this panel also performs greatly in terms of color gamut, easily covering 97% of DCI-P3, and the color display effect of daily game screen is great, the transition is uniform, and there is no color fault.
3. Sound quality
▼ Finally listen to two songs to try, and see how the sound quality of this headset is. The piano tone has just risen, you can obviously feel that the sound field of the headphones is indeed not too large, but it is very regular, the sound of piano, guitar, saxophone and other instruments can be placed in the right position, there is no obvious interference between each other, you can hear very clearly. Then Faye Wong's voice is softly chanted, the position of the human voice is OK, not very close to the ear, but there is still a certain distance from the instrument of the background music, the vocal and background sound are separated well, the analysis is great, and you can hear the charm of Faye Wong's unique timbre. Chorus part, high-frequency extension is good, very smooth on the up, no pressure. However, this headset takes the quality route, three-frequency balance, vocals, musical instruments you can hear very clearly, but feel that the interaction between the two is relatively small, sound more tired.
▼ For a song of Wang Lihong's "Flower Field Mistake", the overall three-frequency performance of the headphones is relatively balanced, and there is no obvious low frequency, the drum part of the background music, the transient performance is good, the diving is also OK, but the amount control is very good, not much at all. In addition, the quality of this headset is really too exaggerated, vocals, piano, drums, rubs neatly arranged for you, all shown to you, the music is less of that range of feelings.
▼ Finally try a slightly more low-frequency "Bikini Body", the three-frequency performance of the headphones is indeed very very balanced, and there is no obvious bias in the low-frequency part. The low-frequency performance of this headset is very obvious, but the quality is very high, the restraint is very good, but every drum can make you feel its power, and the action is fast, and it goes down quickly and up again. Combined with excellent analysis and instrument separation, it will give you a relatively light feeling as a whole. There are low frequencies, there are, how, not many, but when the drum beats down, you can still hear the faint echo of Dawin, and the sound of the harmony.
5. Summary
ROG this prism-worn gaming headset, mushrooms as a whole are still very liked. The appearance of the headphones is very beautiful, whether it is the design, or the material selection and processing of the various parts, as well as the lighting effects of the ARGB, mushrooms are very fond of it. The feeling of daily wearing is also very comfortable, and this headset is also very intimate with two kinds of ear cups, different materials of ear cups can give you a completely different wearing experience, leather is delicate, spinning is refreshing, praise! In addition, the thickness of the two ear cups is also different, which can provide different degrees of wrapping experience, for mushrooms, prefer to spin, refreshing and more comfortable wrapping.
In terms of detail, this headset is highly finished. The default interface is type-C interface, the surface is gold plated, if the host is placed on the desktop, it can be very easy to connect directly to the motherboard. If the host is under the desktop, you can also use an extension cable to connect. The microphone of the headset adopts a detached design, which can be quickly installed if needed, and can be put away when not needed, which is very convenient to use. In addition, the rear of the unit on the left side of the headset has a light effect control switch and a dip-type volume adjustment, which can adjust the volume very precisely.
In terms of game sound quality, the quality of this headset is very high. The overall soundstage is not too large, and it is unconventional, naturally suitable for foot positioning. And there is independent four-way DAC support, so that the quality of this headset is super high, the footsteps, human voices, props in various game environments can be heard very, very clearly, with a regular sound field, can be easily positioned.
But in terms of listening to the sound quality of music, mushrooms can only say that the quality is too high, the three-frequency balance, the separation of vocals and background instruments are very good. The low-frequency transients and dives are also very good, and the drums and cellos are very good. But still that sentence, the quality is too high, listening to music is too tired, when all the vocals, harmonies and the sounds of various instruments in a song are all presented to you, you can only say that the amount of information is too tired, and it will be very uncomfortable to listen to for a while.
However, this is all the effect of plugging directly into the computer. Mushroom's own computer does not use Asus hardware, nor does it have the relevant drivers. If the driver part has relevant sound quality optimization, the overall effect should be better. After all, the hardware quality is high, and there is a lot of room for the software tuning part in the later stage. But this four-way independent DAC did impress the mushroom very deeply, and this hard quality is too exaggerated.
Thank you!
