On Tuesday, Asus launched the ROG Fusion II 300 and ROG Fusion II 500 in India. The new gaming headphones feature virtual 7.1 surround sound and ESS 9280 Quad DAC technology for high-resolution audio. Beamforming microphones powered by artificial intelligence (AI) are also included in the Asus headsets. Both the ROG Fusion II 300 and Fusion II 500 have RGB lighting and a variety of customization options to please gamers. A dedicated Game Chat volume control and a 3.5mm headphone jack are included with the ROG Fusion II 500. Both of these features are not available on the ROG Fusion II 300, which is the less expensive model.

Asus ROG Fusion II 300 & Asus ROG II 500: Specifications And Features

The Asus ROG Fusion II 300 and ROG Fusion II 500 are very similar in terms of specifications. The gaming headsets are equipped with dedicated Quad ESS 9280 DAC amplifiers that are said to provide lossless audio processing. To deliver spatial sound, each of the four DACs dedicates its processing to a subset of the audible frequency range – low, mid, high, and ultra-high. According to the company, its DAC technology has a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 130 dB. This is higher than the 90-100dB SNR provided by a typical DAC.

Asus Essence 50mm drivers are included with the ROG Fusion II 300 and ROG Fusion II 500, with a frequency range of 20 to 40,000 Hz. The headsets are also said to provide virtual 7.1 surround sound for a “realistic” experience, thanks to the integrated ROG Hyper-Grounding technology.

Asus has also included AI noise cancellation in the AI beamforming microphones. The headsets also have Discord and TeamSpeak certifications and are advertised as being able to create an acoustic zone that focuses on users’ mouths while filtering and distracting background noise from all directions. Furthermore, AI noise cancellation technology is claimed to reduce up to 90% of background noise, including chatter, keyboard clicks, and mouse clicks. The headset microphones, on the other hand, are not visible and are hidden beneath.
The headsets have Aura RGB lighting, and gamers can use Armory Crate software to create over 16.8 million color combinations and six preset lighting effects. Static, Breathing, Strobing, Music, Color Cycle, and Rainbow are some of the effects available. The ROG Fusion II series includes two types of ear cushions: ROG Hybrid Ear Cushions and ROG Protein Leather Ear Cushions.
Dedicated buttons for turning on and off the built-in microphone and virtual 7.1 surround sound are included on the gaming headset. On one of the ear cups, there’s also volume control.

Game Chat volume control is also included with the Asus ROG Fusion II 500, allowing gamers to adjust the volume of in-game audio and voice chat using a slider on the ear cups. The ROG Fusion II 500 has USB Type-C, USB Type-A, and 3.5mm jack ports. On the other hand, has USB Type-C and USB-A connectivity but no 3.5mm headphone jack. Both the ROG Fusion II 300 and the ROG Fusion II 500 are 310 grams.

Price And Availability

In India, the Asus ROG Fusion II 500 and Fusion II 300 will be available from leading online stores, authorized Asus outlets, and partner brick and mortar stores beginning in March 2022. The ROG Fusion II 500 costs $22,999, while the ROG Fusion II 300’s price has yet to be determined.

PriceRunner Sues Google For 2.1 Billion Euros.

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Team YTS

Sweden’s price comparison website on Monday, PriceRunner filed a lawsuit against Google for EUR 2.1 billion (roughly Rs. 17,930 crores) for promoting its own shopping comparisons in search results.

In recent years, Europe has tightened regulations on Big Tech’s business practices, and the EU is working on legislation to do so. US behemoths are facing fines and legal challenges in a number of European countries.

The Swedish tech startup expects the “final damages amount of the lawsuit to be significantly higher” because “the violation is still ongoing.”

According to CEO Mikael Lindahl, the lawsuit is also a fight “for consumers who have suffered tremendously for the past fourteen years and still today from Google’s infringement of competition law.”

The Swedish tech startup filed its lawsuit with the Patent and Market Court in Stockholm after the European Union General Court ruled that Google “breached EU antitrust laws by manipulating search results in favor of their own comparison shopping services.”

The European Commission imposed a EUR-2.4 billion (roughly Rs. 20,490 crores) fine on Google in 2017, claiming that results from Google’s own comparison service were “displayed in a more eye-catching manner.” An EU court upheld the fine in November, claiming that results from Google’s own comparison service were “displayed in a more eye-catching manner.”

PriceRunner said it was pursuing restitution for profits lost in the UK since 2008, as well as Sweden and Denmark since 2013.

Google has a “monopoly-like position” in the European Economic Area (EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway), according to PriceRunner, with more than 90% of the market share for internet search engines.

The price comparison website is headquartered in Sweden, with offices in Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom. It has previously stated its intention to expand into additional countries.

PriceRunner was bought by Swedish fintech Klarna in November for an undisclosed sum, though media reports put the price at over $1 billion (roughly Rs. 8,540 crores).

About PriceRunner

PriceRunner is a product and price comparison service with a global user base of 18.2 million people. The website is completely free to use and contains 2.2 million products from 5 900 shops. Users can compare prices on a wide range of items. In addition to price and product comparison, there are hundreds of product tests and guides available. The company operates in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, among other countries.

PriceRunner’s mission is to make online shopping more convenient for consumers by assisting them in finding the best products and deals available. PriceRunner offers hundreds of product reviews and comparisons from a variety of retailers, as well as the ability to compare products, prices, and delivery options. Product experts carry out the tests over a long period of time in order to simulate the product’s intended use.

PriceRunner does not sell products; rather, it makes money by sending traffic to online stores and by displaying banner ads. PriceRunner currently employs 175 people in Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Norway. Nicklas Storkers has been the company’s CEO since 2016. In October 2021, PriceRunner acquired the Norwegian price comparison site Prisguiden, expanding its operations to Norway.

What Industry Stakeholders Think Of The Digital Rupee In 2022–23?

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Team YTS

The anticipated Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the Digital Rupee, will be launched in 2022-23, according to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who presented the Union Budget for the financial year 2022 on Tuesday. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will issue the digital currency, which will be based on blockchain technology, according to the minister. It will, however, differ from traditional cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, which are decentralized.

In her budget speech, Sitharaman, 62, said the digital rupee aims to “give a big boost to the digital economy” and lead to a “more efficient and affordable currency management system.” The exact name of the digital rupee will be decided later. The finance minister gave no further details about the long-awaited CBDC in her hour-and-a-half speech. She later explained in a press conference, however, that the digital rupee will be treated differently than other digital assets and cryptocurrencies.

“Currency is only currency when it is issued by the central bank, even if it is cryptocurrency. Anything beyond that, loosely speaking, we all refer to cryptocurrencies, they are not currencies,” she explained.
Plans for a digital rupee, for example, have been rumored for some time. In response to a question from the upper house, Finance Minister Anurag Singh Thakur proposed its formation in February of last year.
The government’s decision to create its own digital currency was applauded by the industry.

The news of the launch of digital rupees on the blockchain, according to Nischal Shetty, CEO of crypto exchanges and wallet WazirX, is “amazing,” indicating that the country is on the road to legalizing the crypto sector. Yes, I am.
“This move will pave the way for the adoption of cryptocurrencies and put India at the forefront of innovation,” he said.
Other cryptocurrency stakeholders agree with Shetty’s viewpoints and are optimistic about the future.

“The introduction of a CBDC clearly shows that India is a digital-first, efficiency-driven, and transparency-led system,” said Sumit Gupta, co-founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX.
The launch of the digital Rupee by the RBI, according to Avinash Shekhar, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange ZebPay, will help familiarise Indian consumers with the benefits and efficiency of virtual currency and build an appetite for crypto and blockchain.

“The Budget focused heavily on integrating technology across sectors, and the gradual acceptance of a digital currency, blockchain, and virtual digital assets has the potential to make India a leader in this new paradigm of blockchain-enabled revolution,” Shekhar said.
The launch of the digital currency, according to Shivam Thakral, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange and wallet BuyUcoin, will catalyze the growth of blockchain infrastructure in the country.
“If RBI allows the trading of CBDC on private exchanges, it will add a new dimension to public-private partnerships in India’s fintech space,” he said. The arrival of the new currency, according to Ashish Singhal, Founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange CoinSwitch Kuber and Co-Chair of the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Assets Council (BACC), will accelerate digitization in the country.

“We also believe that various budget measures to improve digital payments adoption will induce more digital-savvy Indians into the financial ecosystem willing to explore newer forms of investing and wealth creation,” Singhal added.
Fintech companies have reacted positively to the government’s announcement to enter the digital currency space, in addition to cryptocurrency exchanges.
“The official announcement of India’s CBDC (Digital Rupee) launch is a long-awaited positive move that will create a wave of preparatory work among retail payment providers,” he said.
The introduction of digital rupees, according to Harshil Mathur, CEO, and co-founder of payment gateway RazorPay, will help reduce the financial and physical effort required to manage money.
Puneet Gupta, managing director and vice president of data management firm NetApp India, agreed that the announcement would aid in the creation of a framework for emerging technologies.
Users can only go from traditional digital senders to digital recipients, according to digital payment strategist Ram Lastgi, when it comes to how central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, can help boost the domestic digital economy. He stated that he would be able to conduct digital transactions. From a digital sender to an offline receiver, in a sense.

He explained that “smartphone users can make payments for digital currencies via QR codes, while non-smartphone users can make payments via SMS string-based electronic vouchers.”
Payments via SMS string-based electronic vouchers, he added, will gradually allow people who don’t have smartphones to accept digital methods.
Market analysts also believe that the addition of a digital currency to the existing Rupee would reduce economic leakages by reducing reliance on physical cash.
Abheek Barua, Chief Economist at HDFC Bank, believes that digital currency will have an impact on banks. “The implications of the same will have to be thought through further,” he said.

According to Pankit Desai, Co-Founder, and CEO of Mumbai-based cybersecurity startup Sequretek, the government should focus on raising awareness and education among businesses and consumers about the importance of cybersecurity, privacy, and data security, as well as bringing technological advancements in digital payments for sustainable growth.
Madhusudan E, a member of the Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE) and Co-Founder and CEO of personal loan platform KreditBee, also emphasized the importance of paying attention to the digital currency’s implementation process.
While the government is finally moving to launch the country’s digital currency as an alternative to cryptocurrencies, some experts have pointed out that the government does not recognize any other digital currencies in the country.
