Bosco Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Today Amanda takes a look at the ASUS ROG Vulcan ANC Headset. Read her review here: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/asus_rog_vulcan/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 It looks like one of the very few ROG products which doesn't justify it's price tag. Hopefully, Asus will improve this Vulcan ANC in future may be in next edition. Note: OCC award is missing at the end of the review.

ir_cow Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 was not good enough for a award ? it kinda sounds like asus didn't really do a good job on this headset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prunes Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I own the headset, and I'll agree with the ANC feature being quite rubbish. Yes, it does cancel most of the outside noise, but it adds static, when there's quiet around you and it does give you a weird feeling in your head. But I don't really feel the bass is that lacking. It's not beats by dre, but the bass is quite sufficient for most applications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I'll stick to my Turtle Beach headset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Some things just don't get awards here and usually for a pretty good reason. As for the bass...I found them rather lacking compared to sets in its price range...and it even had less than some of my cheaper sets.

ClayMeow Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Some things just don't get awards here and usually for a pretty good reason. More cons than pros is not a good thing. That being said, d6 you actually allude to a problem I've thought all along - we hand out awards too easily and too often, so it's no wonder you think that's the norm.

The deeper it gets, the more it's lacking And I've thought about this often. Many reviews on this and other websites hand out rewards rather easily in my opinion.

Sorry -- didn't mean for you to dislike them... ----- Honestly on the rewards thing -- take a look at my past reviews...you won't find many Golds. In my personal opinion -- if you get a gold from me...it must be damn good. Even Silver is asking for it. Many of my old reviews show this hard to obtain Gold -- thus I tend to note it a BluePanda Gold when I do give one... No reward is more of a recent change for all reviewers here (I thinK) -- it's no longer Bronze when it's bad -- it's nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used them with and without the ANC and its a miss for gaming with it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
