ASUS ROG STRIX FUSION 700 - WIRELESS GAMER HEADSET - REVIEW

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Do you use any gaming specific headset or a generic one? Let me know! If you have any question, just ask and will try to answer as always! :D

[@DarkMoon309]

Can you clarify if I can use this device on PC wirelessly ? I mostly use headphone to play games, should it work ?

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Yes, that's the main feature of this headset.

[@DarkMoon309]

@@MakaiTechReviews right thank you. Then what is the difference between this and the fusion wireless ?

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Fusion Wireless uses a dongle, so you can't use it with your phone. Also if you charge your Fusion Wireless you can't use it at all. This is not the case with Fusion 700. It uses a standard Bluetooth connection. These are the main differences.

[@rudrashivagaming4377]

I use HyperX Cloud 2 for almost everything.

[@sethcharlesanders]

I really liked how straight forward this review was told me what i wanted to know without any fluff.

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Thank you! This is what I try to achieve. 100% product highlight, less “look at me” show. Sadly KZbin reward view time so most review channels try to target the 10-minute goal. 😏

[@1tricky]

What do you recommend between these and the corsair virtuoso rgb se wireless? Anyway, i really appreciate that you specificated every detail about the headphones and it really made me consider it!

[@kingzalut9639]

Want to find the best option for music also..how is this soundwise?

[@MakaiTechReviews]

I think in general a very good one. No too bass heavy and mids are also well represented. A bit overpriced, but you probably pay for the ROG tax. :)

[@Loki-nv3sd]

@@MakaiTechReviews does it work well with pc via bluetooth? Great Vid too :)

[@BosstheOfficialGaming]

does it have one of those usb thing that can be used for devices that don’t have bluetooth in them ?

[@DocLevi]

It doesn't come with a bluetooth dongle.

[@FaieEnigma]

When connected with bluetooth to the mobile device does the mic mute when it's pushed back into its pocket? I have read from other reviews that fusion 300 hade this problem when it was connected with the 3.5 cable, that sudden stop working. thanks for the review.

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Yes, it is automatically muted the mic when folded up. No problem so far works as it should. :)

Is this good for counter strike go gaming

[@ncscamacho]

Great review !!!! One question , I take calls connected for Bluetooth in my cellphone ??

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Connect your headset to the PC via cable and simultant you can connect to your Phone via Bluetooth. If you have a call you simply tap the cover of the earpiece and you take the call. Once it ends, the game music/sound continue to play... 😉

[@ordoabchao3955]

I have this as well. Whats bad - Hellish lack of space within the ear cups, causing your ears to hurt terrible after 30 minutes of use. - Touch pad is useless and a waste of money. - Bluetooth only transfers 16k bitrate (cd quality) instead of 24k, with cable this issue isnt there though. The difference is quality is massive. - Bluetooth can't handle mic and earphones at the same time, you need to switch off the mic and move to external mic in order for it to work, non issue when on cable. Whats good - Amazing sound and bass, impressive. More bass than your ears can handle. - Great build quality. - Interacts pretty good with Bluetooth, never disconnects. Would i buy it again? No, the pain on your ears ruins the entire experience. However if Asus would make custom (BIGGER) ear cushions available it would be a pretty awesome headset and i would still buy. I don't get it though, why make a headset this expensive so uncomfortable. Mind boggling.

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Thanks for the details, adds a lot to others as well. As for the touchpad, I know some who streams a lot, and he use it as a music mute button when someone speaks to him. Pretty neat feature but obviously it is not for everyone.

[@manssupar]

So i cant hear and talk at same time use Bluetooth while playing csgo or pubg on pc?

[@MakaiTechReviews]

@@manssupar Sure you can. It is just a matter of settings and which output source you set up. Basically, you have 2 audio sources with this headset.

[@GatecrasherSlim]

any idea if the Bluetooth mode can connect to my phone simultaneously and if say my alarm goes off or a notification goes off on my phone that audio will be played through the headset? It seems calls would come through... Basically I've got a falling asleep issue aa game at night after 13 hour shifts, and my Mrs isn't happy as I often end up sleeping on the sofa! I set Alexa alarm but that just wakes her up downstairs and I carry on sleeping with my game audio going off

[@Kevimon23]

I have a question. Does this head set work with the new iPad Pro 11inch? I play knives out and PUBG on an iPad and want to know if the the mic works with Bluetooth. Hope to hear a reply. Thank you

[@MakaiTechReviews]

It works as like any other Bluetooth enabled IEM/earphone headset, so sure you can use it with any handheld device, which has Bluetooth. But for gaming via a wireless connection, I would not recommend, especially for FPS type of games. There might be a small latency in the audio, which is not ideal at all. The BT connection is dedicated mostly for wireless phone calls, while you have a wired connection with your gaming device.

[@Kevimon23]

makaitechreviews thank you so much for the reply!! Appreciate it!

Yep, only works when USB connected. The light effect would eat up the battery pretty fast.

[@NedransVikingar]

What do you mean "not wireless". If you have bluetooth on PC it should work there too?

[@jordhyne23]

how about the delay on audio i mean im gonna use it on my pc via bluetooth for competetive fps games dies it have a noticeable lagg on gunshot or sonething like that?

[@skychaos87]

what cables does it come with? is there cable for 3.5mm jack? how am i going to connect it to dedicated sound cards on my pc?

Simple USB, since it has a built-in DAC it works as a separated audio device.

Because i had along the time multiple bluetooth headsets connected to the pc and the sound is terrible, i mean when i had to use the voice with them mic the sound dropped a lot & found out that it's bluetooth issue and nothing can be done. This headsets looks amazing & review as well but wish ASUS made them with a different wifi connection than bluetooth when want to use them wireless with pc!

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Correct, it uses BT to connect to your PC or phone. The stick dongle variant you talking about is the Strix Fusion Wireless.

does it led up when used without the cable ? i noticed the lights only works when the cable is connected

Sir, can you use the headset with the phone via bluetooth, while not connected to the pc? (scenario: commuting, travelling, etc). Does it have noise cancelling features?

Sure you can, you don't need a pc at all. The notebook in the video has no aura sync support since it has an only red backlit keyboard. Aura sync is an application where you can synchronize the lights in all your devices and those have the same effects, colours and motions.

So what do you recommend for your friend here the fusion 700 or astro a50 bec im new to the like gaming headsets

[@MakaiTechReviews]

Hard to give any advise, if one of the options is not tested (by me). All I could do is check the specs of the Astro. Well, Astro cant connect to your phone and PC at the same time. Astro uses cable connection via the dock if I'm right? (correct me if I'm wrong). Fusion 700 can be connected via USB or Bluetooth, no dongle needed. Astro seems like a competitor to the ASUS ROG STRIX Fusion Wireless, rather than the Fusion 700. On the other hand, Astro uses 5Ghz and not 2.4, which means better transmission quality and less chance of interference. If you want to use this headset with your phone and do phone calls during gaming on your PC, or have any other AURA Sync device, go with the Fusion. Fusion needs to be connected via cable to the PS4! If you don't need such a thing Astro is a better option. (And If I'm correct, It connects to the PS4 via the dock, so semi-wireless option and can be hassle to travel/move with the dock to even use the headset). From here It is user preference. :) Hope you like the detailed explanation.

[@abdulrehmanabdullah7665]

makaitechreviews thx for the details but have you noticed any issue with it while using it sry for asking to much

[@MakaiTechReviews]

No problem, just ask. If I have the time or KZbin notify me well I keep answering. :)Typical "Bluetooth noise". My ears can simply hear out these electric noises during Bluetooth idle. Not just with this headset, but FiiO or the KZ Bluetooth module. Other than this its just sad, I can't use it truly wireless with PS4. Only PC/Phone. Other than these negatives no other issues whatsoever.

The Steel series are mostly competitor of the ROG Strix Fusion Wireless. The Fusion 700 does not need any additional dongle to use, it uses purely Bluetooth. You can also connect to your phone via BT as well, not via cable like the Steelseries 7. I'm not saying any of these headsets are good or bad, but target different segments. If you need a BT connection and pick up your phone during gameplay, Fusion 700 has this good feature. If you want to play wirelessly on PS4 go with the Steelseries7.

[@MakaiTechReviews]

You can use it with 2 devices at the same time. For example, you use wirelessly from your PC, playing or watching a movie. Now if you connected to your phone as well, if you have an incoming call, you can pick up from your headset and the movie/music will mute until you hang up. But sure you can also use it exclusively with your phone.
