    I love this headset. Cancels out noise really well, design is flawless, rgb work like a charm. Only issue is I can't really use it for my xbox, the invisible buttons on the side are a pain to navigate and don't really work on everything.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019
    In short, they are great, a little snug on the head at first but deffinately loosen up after a bit of use. The audio needs to be tinkered with in order to have a full and rich sound profile because the sound is very empty out of the box in comparison to my old Astro A40's. Plug these into a USB 2.0 at least, the 1.0 ports don't support these very well and my discord audio was very distorted/laggy. Last but not least, the RGB is subtle, I'm pretty indifferent towards it and the fact that it's not incredibly bright is great in my opinion. Also everyone in discord says I sound great on their end. At first I was a little disappointed about there not being a inline mic mute button, but rotating the mic up to mute it works really well, and the noise cancellation is on point too.

    This headset has a tight squeeze which makes it uncomfortable to wear for more than 3 hours (especially with glasses). Not a very good mic for VC in game or Discord/TeamSpeak even though it's Discord certified, I had to buy a Blue Yeti as a permanent replacement. The 7.1 surround is not even surround, I get better surround with my Sennheiser headphones with Razer Surround pro, and the noise cancelation is really bad. There is supposed to be software for this headset to make everything sound better for the headset and mic, but it never worked.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2018
    This is a biased review because I did not test these for their intended purpose - gaming. They very well might be good headphones for gaming, but they are terrible for music so I did not go any further with testing. I purchased these headphones to travel with my ASUS ROG G703V laptop. However, not wanting to carry multiple sets of headphones, the Fusion 500's had to fulfill multiple roles, which includes listening to music and movies. These failed right off the bat with music so I stopped all other testing and returned them.

    For $180 these headphones had to be fairly decent for listening to iTunes tracks and watching movies. I cannot comment on the virtual 7.1 because I didn't bother to test it. I am not an audiophile so I really can't give technical details. I just know what sounds good to me and these did not. I like a wide variety of music from classical to hip-hop, techno, 80's, aternative... pretty much everything but country. Lately, I have been listening to a lot of 60's and 70's (Vietnam era) music like the Beatles and Rolling Stones. That's where these headphones failed in my opinion. I am comparing these to other headphones I own - Bowers & Wilkens PX, V-Moda Cross Fade M-100, and Beats Solo 3s. I also own a ROG Centurion 7.1 for desktop gaming (which I love by the way). The Fusion 500's are poorly balanced. The bass is way too overpowering and it doesn't even sound good. The Bower & Wilkens PX don't really produce a lot of bass in my opinion, but that sound good for most everything else. The V-Moda's and Solo 3's produce a lot cleaner, better sounding bass in my opinion. The Fusion 500's have virtually no mid's that I can hear and the highs sound faded and distant. These headphones just sounded really really bad - the sounded really muddy (if that's a thing). If I cannot use these cans for listening to music then they are not worth it at all.

    There are a couple of other aspects that I did not like about these headphones. They have terrible sound leakage, whereas the above-named headphones do not. Many times, I will sit in the same room with my wife while she watches television and I will game on my laptop using headphones. I pulled these off and the sound was just blarring out of these things to the extent that it disrupted my wife's ability to listen to the television. Finally, I think they are fairly cheaply built. I just did not like the plastic that makes up the head band. The material from the Centurion 7.1 feels much better and higher quality. The plastic on the 500's feels and looks cheap. I think the Solo 3's are also cheaply built, but I think the sound and battery make up for that to some extent. However, I will say that the 500s were very comfortable to wear for the brief period that I used them.

    Others would probably label me an "ASUS fanboy" because I tend to be positively biased toward ASUS products. I really like their aesthetics and most of my PC products are ASUS ROG products - mice (Gladius II & Spatha), keyboard (Horus GK2000 RGB), monitor (PG278Q), motherboard (ASUS ROG Rampage V Extreme), and gaming laptop (G703VI) and multiple other products including backpacks. I was very disappointed with the 500's because I think ASUS really dropped the ball with this product. I would not recommend them for the reasons named above. But again, I did not test them for gaming because the other negatives built up too quickly for me to justify keeping them. With the 500's I feel like ASUS is trying cash in on some of their brand equity and put out a cheaper product for a premium price. I want ASUS to keep making high quality products so I am voting with my wallet against these headphones.

    Ok so I am a fan of ASUS ROG products and this matched my setup. I expected more out of the sound aspect with all the hype on it's tech inside. Sound is good but not $160 good. I expected to not be able to turn volume up because of over the top kicka$$ sound, but no. Now after almost a year of use the headset cord that plugs into the bottom of the headset is now having issues and the sound randomly goes out which some games make you exit then restart to get sound back. After a week of this frustrating issue I am now using a cheap pair till ASUS helps me out. I would not buy these for this reason alone, purchase a hardwired or wireless set instead. the removable headset cord is more troublesome than it's worth and I think it's overpriced for what you get imo.
