ASUS ROG Strix Fusion 500 Gaming Headset
The ASUS ROG Strix Fusion 500 is a premium, wired gaming headset that delivers an immersive audio experience through its 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound, Hi‑Fi‑Grade ESS DAC and Amplifier, and meticulously engineered 50 mm Neodymium drivers. Designed for both PC and PlayStation 4 platforms, this headset combines cutting‑edge technology with a sleek black aesthetic and customizable RGB lighting.
Audio Architecture
The core of the Fusion 500’s audio performance lies in its ESS Sabre DAC, which converts digital signals into high‑resolution analog output. Paired with an integrated amplifier, this setup ensures crystal‑clear sound across a wide frequency range of 20 Hz to 40 kHz. The headset’s 50 mm closed‑back drivers provide deep bass and precise midrange, while the 32 Ω impedance allows for effortless connectivity to both low‑power devices (like laptops) and high‑end audio interfaces.
The 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound engine creates a three‑dimensional soundstage that places in‑game sounds exactly where they originate, giving players a tactical advantage. Whether you’re hearing footsteps on the left or an explosion behind you, the headset’s virtual surround delivers pinpoint accuracy.
Microphone Design
The Fusion 500 features a retractable boom microphone with a unidirectional pickup pattern. This design minimizes ambient noise and focuses on your voice, ensuring clear communication during intense multiplayer sessions. The mic’s sensitivity of -39 dB balances clarity with natural sound reproduction.
Lighting & Customization
One of the headset’s standout features is its RGB lighting system. Each earcup hosts a multicolored LED strip that can be synchronized across both units via the ROG Aura Sync mobile app. Users can choose from a palette of over 16 million colors and apply dynamic effects such as breathing, wave, or reactive modes that respond to in‑game audio cues.
Because the lighting is integrated into the earcups rather than the headband, it remains subtle yet striking, allowing for seamless integration with any gaming setup.
Build & Comfort
- Weight: 360 g – lightweight enough for extended sessions without fatigue.
- Headband: Adjustable and padded to fit a wide range of head sizes comfortably.
- Earpads: Two sets are included: the standard 100% protein foam pads and an optional ROG hybrid pad, giving users flexibility for comfort or enhanced acoustics.
- Driver Type: Neodymium magnets ensure consistent performance over time.
- Cable Length: 2 m USB cable provides ample reach while maintaining a tidy setup.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The headset uses a 4‑pin Micro‑USB connector, delivering both audio and power through a single cable. This wired connection guarantees low latency, essential for competitive gaming. Supported operating systems include:
- Windows 10 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 7
- Mac OS (via USB adapter)
- PlayStation 4 (standard controller or headset‑compatible console)
The headset’s firmware is fully compatible with the ROG Aura Sync app, allowing users to control lighting and audio settings directly from their mobile device.
