ASUS ROG Pelta Wireless Headset Review

The ASUS ROG Pelta Wireless is a mid-range gaming headset that takes a slightly different approach to sound, offering a flatter out-of-the-box profile with plenty of room for customisation. With strong wireless connectivity, excellent comfort, and a lightweight version of Armoury Crate handling the software side, it looks solid on paper. But how well does it actually perform in real-world use, and is it worth the asking price?
