Quality/Price ratio:
Overall:

The Asus NC1 headphones are a great kit. We were hit by the extreme lightness and compactness of this kit, it is clear how is an ideal product for people used to listen to music or for those who use the notebook on the road. At the same time, ergonomics, and high sound quality make it a good product for many other uses. The lack in the field for PC gaming may be that of a microphone, which limit their use, if not combining a microphone, in online games or chat. Another lack may be that of a subwoofer, without which is difficult make the bass powerful enough. Probably these features were not included simply because the scopes of use of these headphones are designed for other than the specific field of PC gaming. Given the many innovative features of the product reviewed, in addition to the extreme attention to detail and quality construction, however, we can not exempt to attribute to him the XtremeHardware gold cup. The NC1 is available nationwide at the average price, in our opinion competitive, of 55 Euro.
