Low-latency wireless 2.4 GHz USB-C dongle and 3.5 mm for multi-platform connectivity

Bluetooth connections often impart distracting lag. That’s not a problem for ROG Strix Go 2.4. The world’s first USB-C 2.4GHz RF technology is paired with dual antennas for instant audio transmission, instantly elevating it to become the leading headset for mobile gaming or handheld Nintendo Switch play. Strix Go 2.4 is also perfect for at-home console or PC gaming, with a range of up to 20 metres — freeing gamers to move around the room or dash anywhere in the home without losing their connection or skipping a beat.

The new headset additionally benefits from a 3.5 mm connector cable, for instant compatibility with XboxOne and other devices, as well as providing a useful backup for out-of-battery emergencies.

Lightweight comfort for on-the-go use, with 290 g frame and included carry bag

At just 290 g, ROG Strix Go 2.4 is an exceptionally lightweight wireless gaming headset, giving unbeatable comfort that’s perfect for long gaming sessions. The foldable design is ideal for portable gaming, making it a cinch to carry Strix Go 2.4 anywhere. It even comes with a convenient and compact carrying pouch, helping to protect and organise the headset and other related accessories with ease.

Industry-leading AI noise-cancelling mic for crystal-clear in-game voice communication

ROG Strix Go 2.4 is engineered with an industry-leading, AI-powered noise-cancelling microphone for crystal-clear in-game voice communication. The algorithm draws on a massive, 50-million-record deep-learning database and tens of thousands of hours of training to accurately identify and counteract up to 95% of environmental noises. The upshot of this smart technology is that everything from keyboard clatter to background human chatter is virtually eliminated — ensuring crystal-clear in-game voice communication with teammates.

In addition to the bidirectional, detachable boom microphone, there’s also a hidden mic for on-the-go use. Both mics are equipped with AI noise-cancellation technology and certified by leading communication providers, including Discord and TeamSpeak.

Impressively fast charging, plus up to 25-hour total battery life for nonstop gaming

ROG Strix Go 2.4 is equipped with a power-charging chip that supports up to 5V/900mA input, enabling charge times that don’t leave people waiting. A mere 15-minute top-up provides enough juice for up to three hours of use, while the battery capacity itself is sufficient to power the headset for up to 25 hours nonstop — providing days of real-world use between full charges.

Exclusive airtight chambers and 40mm ASUS Essence for rich, pure sound and deep bass

With an exclusive airtight-chamber design and 40 mm ASUS Essence drivers, ROG Strix Go 2.4 delivers incredibly rich, pure sound with optimised deep bass. The arrangement creates immersive audio experiences to draw gamers deeper into their virtual worlds and ensures faithful reproduction of both music and podcasts and similar audio content.
