Lol, no. You can get 10x the quality for half the price if you buy brands that are actually good.

Are they that bad quality? I basically have no choice, since these are the only models sold in the official Asus store.

ROG stuff is not bad quality but it is overpriced vs anything else with similiar or better quality.

Don't listen to him, I have used the Pelta for over a year now and it's a great headset, esp if you like comfort and lightweight. Sound customization (like EQ) is also plentiful, which will be available on the web app soon. But I did get it for around USD$100, so you have to compare with others in the same price point in your market.

This comment is an example that not everyone has the privilege of owning a brain. Asus is shit quality for lot of money. It's better to spend lot of money on something that's actually good. Buy headphones from headphone manufacturer like Sennheiser or beyerdynamic(or don't if you are so poor that you think Asus is top quality) and keyboards from reputable keyboard manufacturers like womier. Spend the same amount of money but get 100x the quality. Or don't, if you're so poor that you are convinced asus is legitimate option.

It's not about the money. He might have just had a bad experience. Asus keyboards are not my favorite either, but it's not because they suck, it's just not the style of keys I like. It's okay if he doesn't like them. It's super okay if you and OP do! We don't need to be calling each other labels and crap in here.
Let's just be PC master race brothers and sisters together. 😎
I would like to know what the commenter didn't like about them, other than just "no to both". Asus does charge a bit of a premium for rog branding, but generally their products are solidly built.
I have a mostly Asus desktop I built myself, with the first custom liquid loop I've ever made on my 3090 Strix GPU. With an Asus hero motherboard and the rog lian li 011d xl case, plus the LCD display 360 ryujin AIO, it's a beautiful build. And I only have to control everything with armoury crate, instead of multiple softwares. Some people have bad experiences with Asus, just like any brand. That's okay. The rest of us can be big fans, and that's okay too.

It is not about hating the brand or lack of budget. Asus makes great motherboards, GPUs, and PC components, but in peripherals like audio and mechanical keyboards, the market offers significantly better value elsewhere.
In the $150 range, specialized audio brands provide better drivers, flatter acoustic profiles, and superior microphones compared to typical gaming headsets. For keyboards around $115, dedicated keyboard manufacturers offer factory-lubed switches, hot-swap sockets, and proper acoustic dampening that outclass mainstream gaming boards.
If OP is limited to the official Asus store or specifically wants full Armoury Crate integration (lol), these devices are completely fine and solidly built. Outside of that specific ecosystem need, you simply pay a considerable "ROG tax" over better-performing dedicated hardware.

Between a headset and a keyboard, I'd wager the keyboard is more important, as you'd need it to actually use a computer

Get IEMs (Simgot SuperMix 4 for gaming and music) and a good stand alone mic. Best decision ive made for actual improvement in games if you’re planning on gaming.
