Sometimes you really need to ask yourself ?what's in a name??. Seeing a name like Sennheiser, Beyer Dynamics or Grado will immediately equate with audio excellence?..but not always so much for the gamer. While many assume that good audio is simply that, the demands of gaming are vastly different than the demands of the audiophile. ASUS has been at the forefront of computer audio on both sides, and are appealing to the high-end gaming market with their new Strix 7.1 headset and external soundcard. Featuring full physical 7.1 surround, dedicated headphone amp and ten drivers, the Strix 7.1 headset is outfitted to deliver unparalleled gaming audio.
