Hi all, I'm on what seems to be a never ending search for a good gaming headset. I just saw the Delta 2 on sale, and I've been really curious about how well it'll go with my XBox Ally,. I assume it just works with Armoury Crate? It seems to be well reviewed in comparison to other stuff in its price range from brands like Steel Series, Razer and Corsaire. What are people's thoughts on it?

Hi all, sorry if this is kind of a weird question. I'm an iPhone user but not a Mac user. I really love my AirPods, and more trying to make them a bit more efficient with my PC. I'm a gamer, albeit a casual one, and I have had a good experience using them for gaming with my iPhone. I know Apple's Game Mode is supposed to reduce latency with Bluetooth accessories somehow, but frankly even without Game Mode I don't tend to experience any particular latency with them. When connected with my PC, which has the same Bluetooth 5.3, however, the latency is very noticeable. Have any of you stumbled on a way to fix this over the years? If not I'll just have to suck it up and get a proper gaming headset, though I've never managed to find one of those I was truly happy with. For now what I have been doing is using my AirPods Max 2 with a USB C cable, but obviously wireless would be convenient. I already know to disable the hands free mode in Windows to avoid altering the sound on a Bluetooth headset when in voice chat. Other than that, any suggestions?

Hi all, so as much as I enjoyed my Maxwell 2, I did return it to hopefully buy the ANC version when it drops. I most likely will use the Transparency mode as much as ANC for when I am spending time with my family and also gaming, but as good as the passive noise reduction of the headset is I do really like ANC. Any word on when these might launch?

I had my ally just sitting and charging, and I just now took it off charger to pack it in its case. I briefly woke it up to look at something and then I put it back to sleep off the charger, and the fans kept going. I figured they'd stop at some point but it's been 10 minutes and they're still running. I don't want to pack it up like this so I'll shut it down, but I'm curious if this is behavior anybody else has experienced and if so if there's a solution. I'll go back to fully shutting it down every time if needed but I would really prefer to keep it on and in sleep mode during the day so it's ready when Ieawant it.

Hi all, I owned an Astro A50 Gen 5 and I really liked how the headphones sounded. I ended up returning it though because my gaming set-up has changed. I am now doing almost all of my gaming on my ROG XBox Ally handheld, and using that with the A50 is extremely messy to say the least. So what I'm trying to find is a gaming headset that's either wired or wireless with a simple dongle. Idealy it would have the same graphene drivers of the A50 and a comparable mic, because I'd really like a more portable version of what I had already enjoyed. I don't think that exists in the Astro line, but if it does I'd love to know the model. And if not then if there's a Logitech G model that's similar I'd go with that since the Ally is a handheld Windows PC and can work with anything. Are there any products like this available?

Hi all, so when I use my XBox Ally docked I'm currently just using an XBox wireless controler. I'm curious though, are there any good controlers with back buttons that will function like the back buttons on the Ally? I know there are controlers with back paddles but as I understand it those just function as four additional buttons that you can map game controls to. I often use mods with my games that add significantly more button input needs, so I use the ability to add secondary functions to nearly every button on my Ally to make custom controler schemes for those games. If I get a controler with back paddles, can I map one of them to trigger those macros? Or is there a specific ROG controler I need?
If there are specific controler recommendations I'd love one with haul effect thumbsticks and triggers as well. Impulse triggers would be optional but cool. I'm hoping to stay roughly in the $60 or under price range while still getting decent quality, but if that's not an option I am willing to save up and get something more expensive. Bluetooth would also be ideal, though I'm happy to work with a dongle if needed.

The title pretty much says it all but I'll add some context. I bought a ROG XBox Ally, and I joined the Insider program to get access to the feature that allows you to add apps and games to your library in the full screen experience version of the XBox app. I've reported bugs as I've found them, but at the moment I'm doing most of my gaming on this device and I don't want to stay in the insider program once that specific feature is a part of the stable release. I've been having trouble finding an actual change log, so is there a way for me to find out when that feature is accessible without the insider program?
