 Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is LinkSys. Hey guys, we're here at the Asus Suites at CES. I'm just checking out some of their new sound equipment. We've got the Orion headset. There's a retractable mic right here, one second. Right like that. Bendy, retractable, all that good stuff. Really, really, really good for bass. I tested them in some audio footage just for a, what was it, diehard trailer? Diehard 3 trailer. And then I tested some Battlefield 3 footage as well. Takes bass very hard. Show us the ear cups. I want to see how flush they are. Hold on, let me get focused nice and close. There we go. Oh, there we go. Yeah, I'm focused on the right one. There we go. How's the sizing? Really, really nice and comfy. They're good, they're good. I didn't have them on backwards, but they're good. There we go. There we go. Alright, so for context for our viewers, your headphones of choice these days? HD 595s. Okay, and how would they compare? Well, these are closed, and they're really, really bass heavy. And my HD 595s are open, and they're more rounded out. So just quite a different, quite a different experience. Okay, and then what was that piece of audio equipment that you tested it on over there? Well, first we should probably go over the Spitfire, which I tested them on as well. This is a USB card that goes in between, and there's three different modes on here. So you've got amp, surround, and FPS. They're fairly straightforward is what they do. This gives you more power. This enables surround, and this kind of enhances the bass. Alright, moving on. Yeah, and your mic goes in there as well. Okay. And that's the USB header. Moving on, we've got the Essence One Muse Edition. This, I can't remember the exact stuff that she went over. You can see it's powered by six top-notch Muses 01 Op Amps for crystal clear and spacious sound. So you can swap those out as I said, Op Amps, which is really good. And it's now the first ever oxygen-free copper integrated, interconnected and custom layout Op Amp. Okay, so that's all good. How does it sound? Sounds incredible. The warm, deep tones and big rolling bass is really, really good compared to the original Essence One. If you ever get like a drum roll or a really deep, deep, low boom, it's really, really warm, really, really good. We tested those with HD 600s. I apologize for the incompetent filming for this one. It's me filming, so. Let's have a close look at this guy right here. This is really hard, Diesel. Beautiful. So they've made some tweaks in addition to just changing the Op Amps. So it should be overall an even better listening experience. And as an Essence One user myself, anything better than an Essence One is pretty freaking awesome. So thanks for checking out Slick's first solo video. Let's give him a round of applause. Oh man. Sorry. And don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for all our CES 2013 coverage.
