- the on/off button with which you can also set with a single short touch:
- Heavy noise cancellation

The bow is covered in soft leather both on the lower and upper part while the rest of the materials are made of well-made satin plastic. The earcups slide independently of each other for adjustment to your head and can rotate in space to two different angles for maximum comfort and to take up less space when stowing away in the case. Pavilions that are very large and enveloping.
I have personally tested them both on Playstation 5 and on Mac and I had a truly immersive and rewarding experience; on the gaming side they have excellent audio both for listening to in-game chats and game noises, especially in Battle Royale, which is fundamental. Whoever hears on the other side has perfect and clean audio, thanks also to the active noise cancellation which eliminates annoying background noise. I found the fact that the earcups fold flat to store them in their case was helpful; via bluetooth they connect quickly without problems, even on Mac as I tested.
The battery allows for long listening or gaming sessions, once charged they lasted about 5 days for me as wireless autonomy; also tested for fast charging and in fact guarantees what is specified in the characteristics, or about 4.5/5 hours of battery life, very good in short.
In conclusion, the Asus ROG Strix GO BT are wireless bluetooth gaming headphones that offer an immersive and immersive experience, suitable for both home and on-the-go use. These are high-end headphones, priced at €249.99 on the Asus official website, which can meet the needs of the most demanding gamers and music lovers.
