PriceThe ASUS STRIX Wireless Gaming Headset isn't cheap, although, given the level of features on offer, it's pretty justified that it's priced as a premium headset. We found the headset in stock at CCL Computers for £109.95, but shop around as you may fi...
Starting with the design of the Strix 7.1 we have a headset which initially disappointed. It feels very plasticy, basically because it is… once we got over that we started to appreciate the cool ear-cup design, inside and especially outside. Those LED ill...
The ASUS STRIX 7.1 headset with its original design stands firmly against the competition at this price point. It notably picks up on a few opportunities missed by the ROCCAT Kave XTD Digital. The headset, though not completely modular, is detatched from...
Excellent surround sound performance, USB controller is versatile and easy to use, Can switch easily between PC and HDMI inputs
Stereo performance only on par with headsets half the price, Not all that comfortable and creaks, Concerns about non-replaceable cable
The Asus Strix 7.1 is a great surround gaming headset that will be a great addition for gamers that don't have a surround-sound graphics card and do also have their console next to their PC. In one unit it'll provide surround sound gaming for both. Howe...
The Strix 7.1 is undoubtedly a very nice headset. That said, if you just want good quality stereo sound, it can be had for a lot less money in the HyperX Cloud, for example. Alternatively, for the same price, stereo headsets and headphones will offer supe...

The ASUS Strix 7.1 surround gaming headset is an all-singing, all-dancing piece of audio kit and has a price tag to match - £170. That price is unequivocally expensive for any type of user, be it a casual gamer or enthusiastic prosumer. Such an elevated p...

Excellent Gaming Sound, True 7.1 Sorround with Five Drivers Per Side, 40mm Woofer and Mains Provide Excellent Full Sound, Excellent Attack and Transients For Dynamic Sound, Incredibly Immersive With Large Soundstage, 7.1 Provides Excellent Positioning, EQ
Manual Switching Necessary for Surround and Stereo Sources, Pricing At The Top of Class, The Owl Look May Not Be For Everyone…….
There is no question that the gaming market is absolutely exploding right now, and the ASUS Strix 7.1 Headset may be the strongest piece in its class at the time of this writing. Throwing aside any gimmicks and fluff, at the heart of the Strix is a fund...
So let's take a step back and take everything in now. When it came to comfort the Strix 7.1 was good for normal periods of time but during extended gaming the large size of the headset started to weigh on me. The pressure wasn't too bad but got a little...

The ASUS Strix 7.1 is a cool looking headset, but it doesn't have much else. The futuristic-looking Audio Control Station looks nice on top of a desk and its ease of use was a pleasant surprise. The headset is large, yet the edgy earcups, matte black encl...
"The five neodymium magnets – two 40mm, one 30mm and two 20mm - housed in each ear cup deliver some serious noise, with genuine directionality when it comes to sound."...
