ASUS today rolled out the ROG Theta Electret, a premium stereo variant of the ROG Theta headset from 2019, featuring a hi-fi grade 120 mm electret driver in charge of reproducing extremely precise high and mid frequency sound; while a conventional 45 mm neodymium driver handles lows (bass). Both drivers sit in an airtight chamber. The headset is purely analog, and features conventional 3.5 mm jacks, and ASUS made sure to get rid of all digital components, such as the USB DAC and even the RGB-illuminated ROG logo. Thanks to the electret driver, the headset enjoys a wide frequency-response of 20-40,000 Hz. The detachable microphone, too, is fully analogue. The headset supports both single headphones+mic jack, and split 3.5 mm jacks. ASUS didn't reveal pricing.
 
I fully expect this headset to be 20 dollars or more higher than the ROG Theta introduced last year. The headset looks very good,

    I have NO idea personally about these sets but 1 of the posts was a bit disturbing....
     
     
    This headset is using nahimic to operate its chips like their other high-end headsets. In order to configure your headset, u will have install ROG Armoury II and this **** is pain in the ass. If you are gonna buy this headset prepare for crackling, distorted sound when u install and try to use nahimic studio(rog armoury's headset operator) to configure this headset. Prepare for mushy, windy background sound on apps like discord, teamspeak when compressor is set to above 25~. Mic quality is bad your voice sounds hoarse compare to other headsets. I already sent it back and i wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this headset.
