Customizable AniMe Matrix™ Displays
The Asus ROG Delta S Animate stands out with its innovative AniMe Matrix™ displays on each ear cup, which feature 245 programmable mini-LEDs. These displays allow you to fully personalize your headset by showing custom lighting designs, unique animations, and live audio visualizations. You can create your own patterns or choose from preloaded designs like ROG Eye, K.O., Halloween, and Space to add a distinct gaming identity. This feature also includes Soundwave light effects, which synchronize the LED lighting with your voice, making the lights flash as you speak. With this level of customization, the headset becomes more than just an audio device—it becomes an expressive extension of your personality during gameplay or streaming sessions.
Hi-Resolution ESS 9281 Quad DAC™ Audio
Equipped with the ESS 9281 Pro Quad DAC™, the ROG Delta S Animate offers lossless, high-resolution audio that ensures every sound is reproduced with pristine clarity. Each DAC is dedicated to a specific frequency range—low, mid, high, and ultra-high—allowing the headset to achieve a 130 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is exceptionally high for gaming headsets. This means you can distinguish the faintest footsteps or environmental cues in FPS games with ease while still enjoying impactful explosions and vibrant music. The built-in MQA renderer further enhances your experience by unfolding studio-quality audio from services like TIDAL, providing a true-to-life soundscape that brings games, movies, and music to life.
ASUS Essence Drivers and Airtight Chamber Design
The audio experience is enhanced by exclusive ASUS Essence drivers combined with an airtight chamber design, delivering immersive and detailed sound. The 50mm neodymium drivers produce a wide 20Hz–40kHz frequency response, offering rich bass, balanced mids, and crystal-clear highs. This combination ensures that in-game audio cues, dialogues, and music are reproduced accurately. The airtight chamber isolates the sound, minimizing distortion and leakage, so what you hear is focused and immersive. Whether it’s pinpointing enemies in competitive shooters or enjoying cinematic storytelling in RPGs, this design ensures you never miss a detail.
AI Noise-Canceling Microphone
Communication is critical in gaming, and the ROG Delta S Animate delivers with its AI Noise-Canceling Microphone. This detachable unidirectional mic is powered by a dedicated processor that can filter out over 500 million types of background noise. Sounds like keyboard typing, mouse clicks, or environmental chatter are reduced by up to 95%, while your voice remains natural and clear. Certified by Discord and TeamSpeak, this microphone ensures you can coordinate strategies with your team without interruptions. The mic even features a mute indicator light, flashing red when muted, so you can always confirm your voice status at a glance.
Lightweight and Ergonomic Comfort
Long gaming sessions require comfort, and this headset excels with its lightweight 310g build and ergonomic D-shaped ear cups. The ear cups are angled to follow the natural shape of the ear, reducing contact by up to 20% for improved comfort. Additionally, the fast-cooling ROG Hybrid ear cushions keep your ears comfortable and cool, even during extended play. The sloped driver design not only enhances comfort but also improves sound directionality, channeling audio directly into the ear canal for a more natural and immersive experience.
Multi-Platform USB-C® Connectivity
The ROG Delta S Animate is designed for flexibility with its USB-C® connectivity, making it compatible with PC, Mac, PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. The package includes a USB-C to USB-A adapter, ensuring easy connection to multiple platforms without the need for additional accessories. Whether you are gaming on a console, chatting on your PC, or enjoying music on a mobile device, the headset transitions seamlessly between devices. This versatility makes it a convenient all-in-one solution for gamers with diverse setups.
Intuitive Controls and Personalization
To complete the experience, the headset features intuitive on-earcup controls that allow you to adjust volume, mute the microphone, and toggle AniMe Matrix lighting effects instantly without leaving your game. Paired with Armoury Crate software, you can fine-tune the audio profile, 7.1 virtual surround sound, and lighting effects for a personalized experience. This balance of hardware controls and software customization ensures that the ROG Delta S Animate not only sounds and feels premium but also gives you total control over both performance and aesthetics.
