Asus HS-W1 2.4 GHz Wireless Design Headset

Ordered this headset as I was tired of tangled cables, wanted a wireles headset, and knew that Asus had a good rep for quality products. After a couple of weeks use, I can say that it's a step above some the Logitech, Creative, or Turtle Beach headsets in the same price bracket.Sound reproduction is fine, with nice deep bass and crisp teble output. The headset itself feels fairly sturdy, without being too heavy, and sits comfortably on the head. It can feel a little uncomfortable after long periods if you also wear glasses, but I'd think that would be the case with most headsets. The wireless range is pretty good too, with the audio only breaking up at the very edge of it's stated range (15m).The mic has an excellent pick up range for voice audio, making VOIP communication clear and easy, whislt eliminating almost all background noise.The only downside, which may either be a small design flaw, or a defect with the headset I received, has to do with the mic. It uses a "Rotate-To-Mute" action to kill mic input. On my unit, the rotation mechanism is a little loose, and as such, does not stay upright when my head is lowered. Once the mic arm passes about the 40 degree mark, the mic becomes open again. As small gripe I know, and it really is the only one I have.On the whole, I'd recommend this headset above the others in it's price range.

There are some mixed reviews on this product. I have been using now for a full week and obviously I won't know how the lifetime quality is until I've used for a year.In any case, I think some reviews are a bit harsh on this headset. It is perhaps one of the cheapest proper wireless gaming/music/film headsets on the market. It is extremely lightweight (for a wireless headset) and it is also very comfortable due to the soft padding on ears and over the head.The sound quality is outstanding, this is so far the best quality open ear headset I have ever used that has a built in mic. You can probably find better sound quality wireless headsets if you are willing to spend more and go for a noise cancelling ear cups. Do bear in mind the padding on this headset and the design means that it does offer some degree of noise cancelling.My old headset was a Logitech G330 and this has better sound quality and a far better microphone (at least that is what my friends have said even when I did not tell them I got a new headset, they asked if I changed mic or some setting in my system as voice quality was better).You can use this for a full 8 hours before it goes empty. I have yet to time it though but have gone 6 without charging and it was fine.As for negatives, I think the biggest issue with this headset is that it doesn't seem to have a driver by Asus, meaning unlike on other brands you can't customise some settings. Such as the automatic sleep. This goes to sleep quite quickly if you don't listen to sound for a while. It would be handy if you could change that setting.

To summarize: this is a headset physically built to ASUS's respectable standards, yet if you value audio quality even a slither, look elsewhere. Let me preface by stating I would not consider myself an audiophile. I believe HiFi to be supercilious nonsense, for example.Yet I have some knowledge of sound design, thus can recognize and appreciate good quality sound. Consequentially, and most unfortunately for this headset, this means I can also identify sub-par audio; both microphone and speakers. So, down to business. For a means of communication, whether telecoms or online gaming, chatting with friends via VoIPS et cetera its usage is just barely acceptable. The microphone renders the voice understandable but not pleasant; the given sound is muffled and bit-y, however the noise cancellation seems to at least work. The speakers are equally disappointing. Again, for just communication the sound quality is sufficient. Yet oftentimes, particularly if you're gaming online, you tend to listen to music as well. This is where the quality trips up. It's not atrocious, but neither is it really acceptable even for casual listening. The depth of sound is shallow, often blurring the mid-ranges and leaving much to be desired where low frequency sounds are concerned. It ain't got dat bass, in other words. Treble is passable. This was my first experience with a wireless headset and the novelty was very enticing. Up front, the feature seemed entirely functional. Plug and play, no installation of any sort. However, I suspect audio quality is sacrificed in exchange. Having spent some time using the headset, I have noted some odd behavior that can only be attributed to the wireless functionality. I've had a wireless mouse for years now, lovely little things, and the receiver is plugged into a front USB of my PC tower. When I plugged the headset receiver into the front next to it and used both simultaneous, my mouse began to misbehave; juddering and shaking as if unsure of the directions I was giving. When I stuck the headsets receiver into a back panel USB however, this ceased. Odd. More concerning is that when in use, the speakers emit occasional blips and glitches of noise. Naturally this could become irritating when in use for hours at a time. It's a temptation to shrug matters of quality away with a whimsical "You get what you pay for". Only, I have known much better for this price. It's a great shame because the build quality is fantastic. It's a solid piece of equipment and quite comfortable. Furthermore, to find a gaming tailored headset that's not a heaving mess of unnecessary plastic and instead proffers a refined, almost sophisticated design is extremely rare.

Very happy, I went for the reconditioned set (with a small scratch) for £28 rather than pay £65 for a new set and I could not be happier, the set I received was in the original box, well packaged, with all leads and booklets. The headphones are new, I cannot find any scratches on them and they even had the original plastic covering on the earpieces still. They charged and worked perfectly with windows 10 first time, they have a decent mic on them that only activates when you pull it down and also lights up at the end when on. The volume up and down is very useful positioned right on the earpiece and works nicely, it doesn't jump up levels etc, it's smooth up and down volume. The quality of the sound is awesome and they are comfortable to wear, light and they work even when I walk out of the house and up the garden!!! Could not be happier.

I really like this headset. I use it with my laptop to communicate on EchoLink. The audio is very good. It would be nice if there was a way to adjust the microphone gain from the headset.

Eran para un regalo para mi novia y esta encantadísima. Suenan con bastante potencia y bastante calidad, aún siendo abiertos el sonido queda bien aislado y no los escucho cuando los lleva puestos a tope.Muy recomendables

très bon son pour la musique, Skype ou autre , il est très pratique avec son utilisation sans fil! on peux entendre et parler d'une pièce éloignée de l'ordinateur; très bon micro , il se recharge très facilement , un seul petit hic : le bouton marche arrêt est un peu petit . Je le conseille aux gens soigneux qui le rangent bien après utilisation dans son étui . Il n'est pas aussi robuste que les casques de gamers ; J'en suis très satisfaite et il est d'un très bon rapport qualité prix ; Il s'enclenche tout seul sans réglages grâce à la prise Bluetooth; très bon investissement .

Parto col dire che ho comprato questo headset leggendo tutti i commenti e recensioni.Mi sono basato sulle mie necessità , cercando di capire se i pregi ed i difetti erano compatibili con le mie aspettative.Premetto subito,ho apprezzato molto alcune recensione anche negative per costruzione e dettaglio nelle specifiche e ringrazio innanzitutto chi come il sottoscritto recensisce prodotti agevolando l'acquisto ad ognuno di noi.Il prodotto è arrivato integro,puntuale e con un imballaggio spettacolare.Una volta che si apre la confezione,ci si rende subito conto di avere un prodotto con qualità estetica e di materiali al di sopra dei 54 euro spesi per acquistarlo.Ma vado al dunque:COMODITA': Leggere, di dimensioni ridotte ma non troppo, il silicone che riveste i padiglioni è morbidissimo e non stanca anche dopo svariate ora di uso intenso. Ho letto in alcune recensioni (e ne ero preoccupato) del problema riguardante la non eccelsa ergonomia delle cuffie, alcuni addirittura accusando il prodotto,che bastasse uno starnuto a farle scivolare dalla testa. Ora io non sto qui a giudicare la testa delle persone, ma le cuffie sono perfettamente aderenti alla testa,regolabili e stabilissime.I pulsanti del volumi sono stupendi,facili da usare e morbidissimi. Anche il tasto dell'accensione semplice ed esteticamente molto bello essendo aderente con la struttura delle cuffie. Il led rosso indica scarica,il led verde carico e così via. Microfono che si attiva/disattiva con un semplice movimento dello stesso verso l'alto o il basso. Oltre ad accendersi una spia sulla punta del mic , trasmette un suono (1 bip quando si attiva,2 bip quando si disattiva). 5 STELLEAUDIO: Sono un gamer quindi non pretendo qualità professionale ma audio buono,con buoni bassi e limpidi alti e medi. Provato con teamspeak(perfetto), The witcher 3 (perfetto) , mp3/wave (perfetto) ed youtube (perfetto). Microfono pulito e senza fruscii.Chi ha problemi di fruscio o interferenze,non deve far altro che assicurarsi che vicino il dongle wireless delle cuffie non ci siano telefonini o router. Quindi anche questa parte negativa in molti commenti va a morire. 5 STELLEAUTONOMIA: Dichiarano 8 ore ma sappiamo bene tutti che non saranno mai 8 ma massimo 5/6 (succede anche con i telefoni , non lo scopro io). Per ricaricarle bastano 3 ore. Si possono comunque usare mentre si ricaricano col cavetto in dotazione, che anche qui, al contrario di quello che si scrive (forse asus ha ovviato al problema leggendo le recensioni!) è lungo ben 2 metri ,quindi libertà assoluta di movimento. 4 STELLEMATERIALI: ASUS non la presento io .Prima qualità 5 STELLEINSTALLAZIONE: SI apre l'astuccio a zip (sfiziosissimo) si prendono le cuffie e il dongle ,quest'ultimo di inserisce in una qualsiasi porta usb ,1 minuto di installazione driver e voilà ,il gioco è fatto.CONCLUSIONE: Prodotto perfetto per chi vuole avere delle cuffie di qualità eccelsa con poco più di 50 euro,senza fili ,leggere e funzionali.Consigliato sia per il voice,per il gaming e per la musica. Posso garantire che non ttroverete un prodotto migliore di questo.Spero che sarò d'aiuto a chi cercherà conferme tramite le recensioni. COMPRATELE

Ich war auf der Suche nach einem Funk-Headset zum günstigen Preis um mein unbequemes Kabelgebundenes Sennheiser in Rente zu schicken.Ich benutze das Headset in Online-Kursen täglich ca. 8-9 Stunden. Ich bin von der Optik und der Verarbeitung begeistert und auch, dass eine Passgenaue Tasche mitgeliefert wurde.Der Klang der Kopfhörer und die Sprachqualität des Mikrofons sind absolut spitze. Die Installation ging unter Windows 7 problemlos. Unter Linux ging es leider erst nach mehrmaligem Anlauf.Der Sender könnte für meinen Geschmack etwas kleiner sein, ist jedoch kein Negativpunkt, da ich den Sender ja nicht permanent im Sichtfeld habe. Die Reichweite ist gut, ebenso auch die Laufzeit des Akku's. 8-10 Stunden Dauernutzung stellt für das HS-W1 kein Problem dar. Dies ist scheinbar auch der automatischen Abschaltung zu Schulden, die ohne Verzögerung einwandfrei funktioniert.Auch gibt es bei gleichzeitiger Nutzung mehrerer Geräte - die den selben Frequenzbereich nutzen - im selben Raum keinerlei Störgeräusche oder rauschen im Hörer.Genial gelöst finde ich auch die Lautstärkeregelung der Kopfhörer. Keine hässlichen extra Tasten, die das Tolle und sehr gelungene Design verschandeln würden. Auch super gelöst finde ich die Abschaltung des Mikrofons, wenn man das Mikro nach oben klappt.Ich habe definitiv gefunden, was ich gesucht habe. Ein regelrechtes Schnäppchen. Preis- /Leistungsverhältnis ist unschlagbar!Meine Persönliche Beurteilung - der für mich ausschlaggebenden Punkte - in Schulnoten: Klang : 2+ ( zum Musik hören gibt es bessere ) Mikrofon : 1 Reichweite : 1-2 Akkulaufzeit : 2+ ( geht Besser. Vergleichbare Headsets sind aber klobiger wegen dem größeren Akku ) Ladezeit : 1 Design : 1+ Funktionen : 1+ Tragekomfort : 1 Gewicht : 1-2 ------------------------------------------------------ persönliche Gesamtnote : 1-Über die Langlebigkeit des Akku''s - nach längerem intensiven nutzen - werde ich zu gegebener Zeit und ausgiebigen Nutzung ein Update nachliefern.Einziger Negativpunkt ist die Aufladung über USB. Einen USB-Steckplatz zum laden zu belegen finde ich nicht gut gelöst. Daher verwende ich zum laden einen 220V-Adapter, der 1000mA liefert, was auch die Ladezeit positiv beeinflusst.Eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.
