Review : Fantastic sound but too many setbacks.
Music playback through the headphone out using Beyerdynamic's DT770's makes for absolutely breathtaking listening. Astonishingly good sound quality.
Played Battlefield 3 through the same headphones along with the games War Tapes audio setting and was taken aback by the positional audio and the realism of bullets hitting metallic objects around me.
5/5 on audio quality.

HOWEVER, you CANNOT have speakers and headphones plugged in simaltaneously. The headphone port is designed (hardware not software) to mute the other outputs and there is no way to switch this. You have to crawl to the back of your PC and manually unplug your headphones every time you wish to switch. This is a horrible design flaw that the ASUS competitors do not suffer from. To spend
