High-Resolution ESS 9281 Quad DAC™
The ESS 9281 Quad DAC™ contains four digital-to-analog converters (DAC) that provide lossless audio processing. There's a DAC for each frequency band; low, mid, high and ultra-high, for clearer sound, and an unparalleled 130dB SNR. With ROG Delta S Animate, you can hear every detail and enjoy crisp, clear sound for a true-to-life audio experience.
Built-In MQA Renderer
Master Quality Authenticated is an award-winning audio tech that delivers studio-quality sound and revealing details of the original recording. The ROG Delta S Animate headset connects to MQA core signals used by global streaming service apps such as TIDAL, to complete the final unfold of an MQA music file and provide incredible audio quality.
High SNR in FPS Games
A high signal-to-noise ratio is critical for gaming headsets; especially in FPS games. Higher SNR allows you to precisely pinpoint enemy footsteps, or hone in on the location of gunfire or explosions on the battlefield. With its ESS 9281 Quad DAC™ design, ROG Delta S Animate is capable of achieving an unprecedented 130dB SNR, unrivaled by single DACs!

Features

ASUS AI Noise-Canceling Microphone
The ASUS AI Noise-Canceling Microphone (AI Mic) has a dedicated processor that’s designed to reduce over 500 million types of background noise while preserving vocal harmonics for crystal-clear in-game voice communication. Common background noises such as chatter, keyboard clatter and mouse clicks are reduced by up to 95%.
Certifiably Clear Communication
The AI Mic is unidirectional, detachable and certified by both Discord and TeamSpeak. An indicator light on the tip of the boom flashes red when the microphone is muted, so you can quickly check its status.
Crafted for Comfort
ROG Delta S Animate is exceptionally lightweight at only 310 grams. Ergonomic D-shaped ear cups closely match the shape of your ears to reduce unnecessary contact areas by up to 20%, and a sloped design provides better comfort and also helps improve sound quality by channeling audio directly into the ear canal, tilting the drivers at a 12° angle.
Two Different Types of Fit and Feel With 2 Ear Cushion Options
ROG Hybrid Ear Cushions
Made of protein leather and fabric mesh, they are perfect for long gaming sessions, offering a contoured fit, with material that is thick but breathable.
Fast-Cooling Protein Leather Ear Cushions
The cushions are made of 100% protein leather and fast-cooling memory foam to give unbeatable comfort with thinner and softer material.
Tuning and Customization Made Easy: Instant Control at Your Fingertips
Intuitive control buttons on the ear cup let you instantly control volume, mute the microphone or adjust AniMe Matrix™ lighting during gameplay. You can also scroll up or down to increase or decrease volume, or just push to mute or unmute the microphone.
