So today, the ROG Fusion II 300 Headset was Randomly Powering off and Gets Powered on after while I Shaked the headsets But after few hours, the usb hub to which this Headset was connected took down all of the devices which was connected to this hub such as Dell Mouse, Sandisk Pen drive, There was 3 devices connected to the qz usb 3.0 hub which has 4 ports, the devices are ROG Fusion II Headset, Sandisk Pen drive and Dell Mouse, this usb 3.0 hub was Connected to the USB 2.0 port of ROG Strix x299 E-Gaming II Motherboard.
The Front 4 USB 3.0 Ports of ROG Helios were used for dongles and the 6 USB 3.1/3.2 Ports of ROG Strix x299 E-Gaming II were used for WD HDDs and QZ Active Powered USB 3.0 Hubs, So I had only USB 2.0 Ports Left on the Motherboard and the USB 3.0 Hub which was connected to this usb 2.0 port were working fine until today July 20.
At 1st, While all 3 devices Lost power, I Believed it was USB 2.0 Port issue So I tried another usb 2.0 port and the mouse started working, i did not checked the headset and sandisk at that time
Since mouse started working, I believed Restarting PC will fix the Problem, But While Restarting, Motherboard turned itself off. For Safety Reasons, I Removed the USB 3 Hub which had ROG Fusion II, Dell Mouse and Sandisk Pendrive Connected and Attempted to Turn On PC and PC Turned on Correctly/Normally.
But after a Few Minutes of Win 8.1 has Launched and Running, the Mouse Stopped Working, So Now, I was thinking like, Even the 2nd USB 2.0 Port Stopped Working ? But after connecting the usb 3.0 hub which had headset+mouse+pen drive to active powered hub, I noticed that while I removed the headset, Mouse+Pen drive Starts working But While I Connect the Headset's USB, Mouse/pen drive and even the entire usb 3.0 hub Stops Receiving Power from the Active Powered USB 3.0 Hub, I mean the Blue Lights on USB 3.0 Hub Goes off.
So It felt like headset was causing the Problem, I tried unplugging and plugging the headset again and again to the usb hub and I Noticed a Fire Sparking from the Headset wire, Fire Means its like the fire which you see in welding steels, also a little bit of smoke So I Stopped Plugging in the Headset and While I looked Closer , it was this twisted Wire issue of this headset caused the problem as while looked closer I was able to see the actual Internal wire of the headset, It seems like excessive twists has caused the outer skin of the Headset cable to tear and seems like wire might have compromised, ROG Motherboard has Likely detected the unstable power issue and was Indirectly/actively trying to tell me to Stop using this headset, So Removing the Headset Restored PC and USB 3.0 hub Functionality,
And the USB 2.0 ports, the 2 USB 2.0 Ports which I said to Stop working rejected the usb 3.0 hub's connection. I mean the usb 3.0 hub which had the ROG Headset Connected, However when I Connected the Razer Thresher Dongle to See Whether if its not a hardware USB 2.0 Port Issue, Both USB 2.0 Ports allowed Razer Thresher Dongle to Work which itself says the USB 2.0 ports not having Hardware Issues.
Im Not Sure Whether Motherboard has flagged the usb 3.0 hub or Something else, Maybe a System Restart will make the usb 2.0 to accept the usb 3.0 hub as it no longer has the ROG Headset Connected, But Since the Ports are Working while tested with Razer dongle. I Stopped thinking about why usb 3.0 hub does not work with the USB 2.0 ports as I Believe this issue will fix itself over time like after Restart or Cold Shutdown.
Im upset because this ROG Headset had Awesome Cushions and Excellent Comfort, The Sound was also Boosted with the Help of Razer Surround Pro, Its hard to Accept the Twisted Cable has Compromised the Entire Headset, I'm not sure why ROG has designed the cable like that as it always gets twisted...The Journey with this Headset Ended So fast like it's only 1 year since I Got this Headset...
I Tried Looking for New ROG Headsets But As usual Asus India doesnt care about Promoting Asus Headsets, Most of the Sellers on amazon India Who Sells ROG Headsets are 3rd Party and they all have Hiked Prizes unfairly More than Import Fees, I Feel like these Prizes Could Get Lowered to a Reasonable Prize while Asus Makes Modifications in Headsets, For Example, I Never use Microphone, I Do Not Need RGB or any form of Lighting, I Do not need multi mode connection like 2.4 ghz and Bluetooth, Just Bluetooth alone would be fine, Also I do not need 50 hours battery Life, 8 Hours Would be Fine.
So Please Release a ROG Headset which does not have
Microphone
NO RGB or any form of Lighting
Bluetooth Mode only
8 Hours Battery Life
Releasing a Headset like this Will Save the Headset Prize by 50$ to 80$ as We don't Necessarily have to Pay 350$+ for ROG Headsets.
Thanks.
