The four signals are then combined to produce clearer sound with an impressive 130 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and an integrated amplifier supports up to 300 ohms of impedance. Hear every detail and enjoy crisp, clear sound for a true-to-life audio experience with ROG Clavis.

Exclusive Hyper-Grounding Technology ROG-exclusive Hyper-Grounding technology utilizes a multi-layer PCB and a special layout design to prevent electromagnetic interference, resulting in pure, noise-free audio.

This ensures that your voice comes across loud and clear — even in noisy environments. Maximized Performance ROG Clavis works with any 4-pole 3.5 mm headset that includes a microphone.
