Packaging

The packaging for the Strix 7.1 has a black background with a fade to white. On the front they did slip in a photo of the side of the headphones along with the base station as well. Both are lit up to show off the lighting. This helps set this model apart quickly from the other Asus Strix headsets. Up on the top you have the Strix logo with the Strix owl look. Down along the bottom are a few key features with small icons that represent each feature. Along the side Asus did include a full specification listing, something I would like to see other companies do.

The front of the packaging opens up to a bright orange interior with the Strix owl eyes. The headset and all of the accessories sit in a formed tray with a clear plastic covering everything. The headset sits in the top tray and then up under that tray you will find the microphone, base, wiring, and documentation.

For the documentation you get a warranty document and a user manual. For cables you get a USB power cable with a double USB end to hook the Strix 7.1 up to your computer and for power and the second cable has an HDMI end and a few audio plugs to hook the Strix 7.1 into your speakers.
