Asus ROG Fusion II 300 and ROG Fusion II 500 were launched in India on Tuesday. The new gaming headphones come with virtual 7.1 surround sound and include high-resolution ESS 9280 Quad DAC technology. The Asus headsets also carry artificial intelligence (AI) powered beamforming microphones. To please gamers, both ROG Fusion II 300 and Fusion II 500 come with RGB lighting paired with a variety of customisation options. The ROG Fusion II 500 come with a dedicated Game Chat volume control and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Both these features are not available on the cheaper ROG Fusion II 300.

Asus ROG Fusion II 500 price in India has been set at Rs. 22,999. However, details about the pricing of the Asus ROG Fusion II 300 are yet to be revealed. Both headsets will be available for purchase in the country in March through authorised Asus stores, partners, and major offline stores.

Specifications-wise, both Asus ROG Fusion II 300 and ROG Fusion II 500 are quite similar. The gaming headsets come with the dedicated ESS 9280 Quad DAC amplifiers that are claimed to deliver lossless audio processing. Each of the four DACs assigns its processing to a subset of audible frequency range —lows, mids, highs, and ultra-highs — to provide a spatial sound. The company said that its distinctive DAC technology provides a signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio of 130dB. This is higher when compared with the SNR of 90–100 dB that a regular DAC offers.

ROG Fusion II 300 and ROG Fusion II 500 also come with 50mm Asus Essence drivers that deliver a frequency range between 20–40,000Hz. The headsets are also touted to offer virtual 7.1 surround sound using the built-in ROG Hyper-Grounding technology for a “realistic” experience.
