The ROG Theta 7.1 comes with the SupremeFX S1220A audio codec and a customized ROG Home Theater Grade 7.1 DAC.
Unlike other 7.1-channel headsets that use a single amplifier to power multiple drivers, "ROG Theta 7.1"'s DAC feeds four ESS 9601 headphone amplifiers to pinpoint effects within the vast auditory landscape. "Theta 7.1"'s DACs are also designed to dissipate heat efficiently.
"Theta 7.1" also employs a thermal compound that efficiently dissipates heat generated to lower temperatures.

The microphone portion of the ROG Theta 7.1 features the world's first AI-powered noise -canceling microphone.
It is equipped with a dedicated processor with smart profiles trained by AI to eliminate over 50 million types of background noise while maintaining vocal harmonics for clear in-game communication.
This allows up to 95% noise elimination and delivers only clear audio.
The detachable uni-directional microphone is certified for both Discord and TeamSpeak, and an indicator light at the end of the boom flashes red when the microphone is muted, making it easy to check the microphone status.

"ROG Theta 7.1" comes with two types of ear cushions that can be replaced.
One type has a thin, soft finish that combines protein leather and quick-cooling breathable fabric mesh, making it comfortable for everyday use, such as on the go.
