Up top, there’s more leatherette-covered cushioning, so you get comfort all over.īesides this, there’s another advantage to a 3.5mm headset: Making connectivity a simple wired affair means Asus can keep the cost down to just $79.99 USD. Although the headband’s segments aren’t numbered, it does click as you extend it, so it’s easy enough to remember your ideal length by listening to the number of clicks it makes. This is an unfortunate but necessary consequence of how the headset is designed to block out ambient noise-it relies on the firm seal the material makes around your ears, since there’s no active noise-cancellation technology onboard.Ībove the earcups there’s a flexible metal headband with plenty of bend. They don’t get spicy-jalapeno hot, but just enough to need to take them off from time to time. The covering material is a thick leatherette that feels very soft, but as I hinted at earlier, can get a little hot at times. And they are a decent size, so they fit well without sitting uncomfortably on top of your ears. The earcups feel very plush, each one sporting a lightweight layer of memory foam that squishes down effortlessly, keeping your ears feeling pressure-free. Ah, to have a completely cool headset one day….Īs for the rest of the Go Core’s design, it’s no less flattering. Yet another benefit is you can lay them flat on your chest-a simple convenience that let me cool down my head while I waited between games. Of course, the rotating cups also help in the comfort stakes too, giving you plenty of space to move your head. The Asus ROG Strix Go Core Moonlight White feature lightweight leatherette-covered earcups. It’s a small benefit but one that you’ll find incredibly useful once you find a case to fit it in-since the headset doesn’t ship with one. The earcups rotate a full 180 degrees and fold upwards to 90 degrees, allowing you to simply pack the headset up into a compact bundle and tuck it away in a bag without bits protruding and jutting into you-or worse, getting broken off by impact. Its lightness also ensures it’s barely noticeable on your head-to me it felt like it made just the faintest contact with my ears, and that feeling remained after hours of gaming, when I’d normally expect to feel some discomfort. The benefit of the Go Core’s extremely lightweight design is obvious: Most gaming headsets contribute around 300 grams to the weight of a satchel or bag, but the Go Core lightens the load substantially, weighing just 252 grams (about the weight of 10 nickels)-hence the “Go” in the name, which is a nod to the headset’s excellent portability. ![]() Asus ROG Strix Go Core Moonlight White: Build and portability Go there for more information about competing products, what to look for in a gaming headset, and buying recommendations.
