The video was the usual promotional crud, but in my opinion the plastic looks kinda cheap and the "rumble" sounds like a gimmick. However, we'll see when reviews come out.

Been done before. For less money.

My "Skullcandy Skullcrushers" already do this...

Or you can turn up the volume and make any decent headphones do the same thing...

My medusa NX 5.1 headset does this, and no it's not a gimmick it actually adds to the game well. Tickles your ears too! All in all, not new tech

I think I prefer the MDR-V6's I have.
You know, real sound, real comfort, and don't look like garbage?
The ONLY reason I'd ever buy gaming headphones is for surround sound (where's the enemy sniper?) and a integrated mic.

What part is their like about this headset? Seems craptastic to me in so many ways.

1. On-Ear design for a gauruteed uncomfortable fit after prolonged use.
2. USB interface instead of 3.5mm plugs.
3. Rumble Gimmick that probably is a bad idea for your health.
4. Uncomfortable and heating head band that uses high density foam (Practically plastic).
5. Cheap plastic unextendable microphone.

Asus, I always liked your products. They were often times quite unique. But this is just one territory I don't think you should tread into I'll stick to Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Audio Technica, etc. if I want quality headphones

Rumble is not really that cool.

Lol, when it vibrates, it looks like it'll suck your brains out.

Sheesh ... Teac had this system implemented ages ago... the drawback back then was that the headphones were on normal jacks so no power to draw from USB ... it used a remote control like on the cable to house 2 batteries. Teac HP-5-S.
