You can get top-tier ASUS ROG gaming headphones for a thousand crowns cheaper and still receive a gift. All it takes is one thing

Looking to upgrade your gaming headphones? The highly-rated ASUS ROG Pelta headset is now available with AlzaPlus+ membership for 2,519 CZK instead of 3,599 CZK. It impresses with its low weight, three connection modes, and 50mm drivers with a titanium diaphragm. As an added bonus, you will now receive a mouse pad valued at 799 CZK as a gift.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want lightweight, comfortable gaming headphones with an excellent microphone and three connection modes.
⚠️ Consider that the 2.4 GHz dongle is sensitive to Wi-Fi interference, Armoury Crate software can be annoying, and Xbox is not supported.
💡 For 2,519 CZK with AlzaPlus+, it’s one of the best price/performance ratios among wireless headsets.

Why these headphones are interesting

The main advantage is comfort and low weight. The ASUS ROG Pelta headset weighs only 309 grams and features an elastic headband and breathable fabric earcups, so according to reviewers, you can wear it all day without ear pain. A major advantage is the three-mode connection: wirelessly via the low-latency 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova dongle, via Bluetooth, or with a USB-C cable. Plus, a detachable microphone and RGB backlighting. For 2,519 CZK with AlzaPlus+, it’s a package that usually costs more.

The second reason is versatility. Thanks to the three modes, you can pair the Pelta with PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, and phones, and easily switch between them. Reviewers and expert media repeatedly describe it as one of the best wireless headsets in its price category.

Key parameters explained in plain language

Sound is handled by 50mm ROG drivers with a titanium diaphragm, featuring a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz and an impedance of 32 ohms. The design is closed-back and over-ear (often described as “on-ear,” but it actually refers to more comfortable earcups that enclose the ears). The microphone is detachable, a 10mm super-wideband with a flip-up boom arm, and at the end, it has an indicator light that illuminates when muted. Control is managed by a sliding mode switch, a mute button, a volume wheel, and a function button.

Regarding battery life, it’s important to be precise: the manufacturer states up to 70 hours in 2.4 GHz mode, but this applies with RGB turned off and the microphone muted. With backlighting on, it’s 45 hours; in Bluetooth mode, up to 90 hours (60 hours with RGB). Fast charging is practical: 15 minutes is enough for approximately 3 hours of operation. It charges via USB-C, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included in the package.

Sound, microphone, and comfort

For gaming, reviewers rate the sound very well — you can discern the direction from which sound is coming, highs are clear, and after fine-tuning in the equalizer, the headset sounds significantly better. The microphone receives high praise, being among the best in this price category and capturing voice clearly. The fabric earcups, which prevent ears from sweating as much, and the fact that they fit people with glasses or larger heads, also score points.

Fairly, let’s state the limitations: for music listening, the sound is rather average and sounds flatter without equalizer adjustments; it’s simply a gaming headset. And in Bluetooth mode, the sound quality is noticeably lower than via the 2.4GHz dongle, so for the best experience, opt for the dongle.

What is AlzaPlus+ and how does the discount work

The price of 2,519 CZK is the membership price for the AlzaPlus+ program, so a few words about it. AlzaPlus+ is a paid membership for 299 CZK annually (25 CZK per month) or 59 CZK per month, whose main advantage is free delivery to over 25,000 pick-up points without a minimum order value and exclusive member discounts on selected goods — which includes these headphones. You can cancel your membership for free at any time.

Why it makes sense for this purchase: the 30% member discount here saves 1,080 CZK, while annual membership costs only 299 CZK. In other words, the savings on a single pair of headphones cover the entire year’s membership several times over, and you can then use free delivery for other purchases. The standard price without membership, according to price history, is not significantly discounted, so the real value here is created by AlzaPlus+.

What users say

On Alza, the headphones have a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 182 reviews, and 87% of customers recommend them — this is a large sample with strong indicative value. Most often, people praise the low weight and comfort even after several hours, the high-quality detachable microphone, the fabric earcups, and easy switching between connection modes. It is repeatedly mentioned that it is one of the best headsets at this price point, even when compared to more expensive competitors.

Criticism mainly focuses on two areas. The first is the ASUS Armoury Crate software — many users complain about problematic installation, frequent updates, and instability, yet without it, you cannot set the equalizer, spatial sound, or RGB. The second is interference with the 2.4GHz dongle near a Wi-Fi router, which causes crackling and dropouts; many solved this by moving the dongle away with a USB extension cable, but for some, it was bothersome enough that they returned the headphones.

What to watch out for

The most important note for console gamers: ROG Pelta does not support Xbox. Specifications list compatibility with PC, Mac, PlayStation 4/5, Switch, and mobile phones, but according to users, they are unusable on Xbox X/S — if you primarily play on Xbox, look elsewhere. Furthermore, keep in mind that the “up to 70 hours” battery life only applies with RGB turned off and the microphone muted; in real-world use with backlighting on, it will be lower.

Two technical minor points: the 2.4GHz dongle is quite large, easily falls out of the USB-C port, and replacements are hard to find, so be careful with it. And because it’s a wireless device with a battery, it’s true that the battery is considered a consumable part — the battery itself has a shorter warranty than the product as a whole (24 months). Additionally, to set EQ, spatial sound, and RGB, you need installed software, which can be a hassle to get working.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you primarily play on Xbox, disregard these headphones immediately. Similarly, if you’re looking for top-tier sound primarily for music and movies, the Pelta is tuned for gaming and won’t fully satisfy an audiophile. And those who don’t want to deal with software or potential dongle interference will appreciate a simpler headset. However, for PC, PlayStation, Switch, or phone gamers who want a lightweight, comfortable, and versatile wireless headset with an excellent microphone, the price of 2,519 CZK with AlzaPlus+ is a great offer.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

ASUS ROG Pelta are lightweight, comfortable, and versatile gaming headphones with an excellent microphone, offering one of the best price-to-performance ratios among wireless headsets for 2,519 CZK with AlzaPlus+ — and now, a mouse pad as a gift. The main drawbacks are the annoying Armoury Crate software, the 2.4GHz dongle’s susceptibility to interference, and the lack of Xbox support. For those who don’t mind these points and play on supported platforms, they will get a headset that is praised across reviews and expert media.

When it comes to gaming headphones, do you bet on wireless and comfort, or do you prefer a cable and maximum sound?
