The ASUS ROG Phone 3 is undoubtedly one of the best gaming smartphones of 2020. But gaming performance isn't the only thing that's great about the device. It also packs in a fantastic 144Hz display and an impressive audio solution tuned by the audio specialists at Dirac. The device includes Dirac's HD Sound Technology for audio enhancements like impulse response correction, frequency response correction, bass enhancements, crosstalk cancellation, volume enhancement, and a dedicated game mode audio profile. Now, Dirac is pushing a software update to select ROG headsets that will allow users to experience a special gaming mode audio profile with the ROG Phone 3.

ASUS ROG Phone 3 Review: The King of Gaming Smartphones is back

As per a recent post on Dirac's website, the company's new patented impulse and magnitude response correction solution is capable of digitally upgrading headset sound quality to deliver natural, balanced sound with true-to-source sound localization. Dirac claims that the solution is capable of delivering great audio performance for both gaming and music. Talking about the solution, Dirac's Chief Sales Officer, Mats Oberg, was quoted saying:

"The core Dirac tech implemented within these ROG headsets is the result of years of work in the hi-fi and home theatre markets — where audio performance is of paramount importance. We're now taking these technologies and acoustic principals and applying them to the gaming headset market, where sound can be the difference between an ordinary and extraordinary gaming experience. ASUS understands this, and prioritized product performance above all else, which is why they're such a terrific collaborator in the gaming space!"

The new audio solution ensures that ROG headphones are capable of creating a balanced, clear sound so that dialogue remains crisp and voice intelligible. Additionally, the solution will also help the headphones reproduce rich acoustic detail, so even the softest, subtlest cues, like footsteps, can be heard clearly in-game. The Dirac-optimized ASUS ROG Phone 3 series of gaming headsets include: ROG Cetra, ROG Cetra Core, ROG Cetra RGB, ROG Delta, ROG Delta Core, ROG Delta White Edition, ROG Strix Go 2.4, ROG Strix Fusion 300, ROG Strix Fusion 300 PNK LTD, ROG Theta Electret, and ROG Theta 7.1.
