ROG, the Asus gaming hardware wing, launches the Strix Go 2.4-- a headset featuring AI noise cancellation technology the company claims allows for both clear in-game communications and media playback in noisy environments.
The headset is wireless, and is described as the first to be so while featuring USB-C connectivity. As such, with pairs with PCs, game consoles or smart devices via USB-C dongle using a low-latency 2.4GHz connection. Wireless range reaches 20mm, and a 3.5mm connector is also included. Asus adds the headset is light (at 290g) and runs for up to 25 hours on a single charge. Providing audio are 40mm Essence drivers set inside an airtight chamber ear cup design. Armoury II software allows users to tweak EQ, levels and 7.1 surround sound settings.
Being a gaming headset, the Strix Go 2.4 includes a detachable bidirectional boom mic certified for both Discord and TeamSpeak, as well as a built-in hidden mic. Meanwhile the included AI noise cancellation technology is supposedly based on "a massive, 50-million-record deep learning database and tens of thousands of hours of training," allowing it to counteract no less than 95% of environmental noise.
The Strix Go 2.4 headset ships on December 2019 together with a protective pouch.
