Today we are taking a look at a lower end model from the STRIX Gaming headset collection, the 2.0. Featuring 60mm drivers, stereo audio and high cross compatibility, we will take an in-depth look at how the STRIX 2.0 performs and if it is really worth its price tag.

To start, the STRIX series from ASUS is a range that offer a variety of hardware from GPU’s to headsets, mice to keyboards, designed for and built by gamers. Prices vary and for most peripherals, a specification hierarchy split the lower end products from the medium and higher which in turn, caters for those gaming on a budget, upgrading or looking for top of the line gear. Each piece of hardware follows on with a futuristic metallic feel that mimics the mascot of the brand, the infamous avian creature.
