In announcing its product release, ASUS ROG has officially launched the Theta Electret Premium. A fully-analog designed gaming headset packing a huge bundle of great features for the enthusiast user!
Yes, you read that correctly. This is fully-analog with ASUS ditching both USB DAC and even the RGB-illuminated ROG logo in favor of a simpler, but arguably better, technology.
“ROG Theta 7.1 is a premium 7.1 surround-sound gaming headset that has 8 discrete Essence drivers along with powerful virtual bass for precise positioning and sensational audio. [The] ROG Theta7.1 is also the industry’s first to have the AI-powered noise-cancelling microphone that ensures unmatched crystal-clear in-game communication. ROG Theta 7.1 also features customized ROG home-theater grade 7.1 DAC and four high-res ESS 9601 headphone drivers which help deliver lossless audio that makes games come alive.”
Of the two headsets now released under the Theta branding, the Theta Electret Premium is undoubtedly a very interesting creature. Featuring a 3.5m input design, this is certainly a shift away from the more common USB-C platform.
You can, of course, buy the ‘standard’ Theta featuring USB connectivity and all the RGB jazz that goes with it. The Electret Premium, however, is undoubtedly going to be an appealing option for many!

What do you think? Are you impressed with the design and features? Are you planning on getting one of these? In addition, which was the last gaming headset you purchased? – Let us know in the comments!
