The ROG Delta S Animate adds an AniMe Matrix mini-LED display to the earcup for custom animations, on top of an ESS 9281 quad DAC, MQA support and an AI noise-canceling mic. The audio is clean and the fit is comfortable at 310g. The lights are for onlookers, not you, the console cable is short, and the effects are limited.
