Asus is no stranger to the gaming peripherals market, or - for that matter - the PC market in general. They are perhaps the best-known maker of motherboards, graphics cards, and high-end gaming displays. To say that the pedigree is there to create a truly awesome gaming headset is, therefore, an understatement. The Fusion 500 is - predictably - a 'grade up' from the Fusion 300 headset, and current MSRP for the 500's sits at 150 GBP, or 169.98 EUR. Asus does have a product page all ready for the Fusion 500, and you can find it linked here. There, you will find extensive information regarding the product and its feature set, though we hope you'll come back to look at our review of this unit, as well.

The Fusion 500 isn't, however, wireless, so it cannot be directly compared to perhaps its closest rival, the Corsair Void Pro RGB. However, both are similar in that they are high end targeted headsets aimed at providing a premium audio experience for those who buy them. Asus' new unit connects to devices via USB 2.0 only, with no option for connection via your standard 3.5mm headphone jack, unless you want to convert.
