After fully charging the headset, we started listening to different YouTube videos, watched a couple of movies but also played a couple of sessions in NFS Unbound, Fallout 4, Minion Masters and Dead Island Definitive Edition; we have noted an improvement regarding high and mid frequencies, which resulted in clearer voices, while maintaining a good representation of bass, ideal for a gaming headset! The battery capacity has been also doubled with the new revision, allowing up to 50 hours of usage from a single charge, while the 4-hour charge time remained the same, which is great!

The earcups now come with memory foam pads in order to preserve comfort for longer, and now we are getting headbands of different sizes in order to fit absolutely all head shapes and sizes. While being connected via wireless, we walked around the apartment and did not notice drops in quality or interruptions; the headset comes with an automatic connect/disconnect system meaning if we are out of the transmission range, the ALYA 2.0 will automatically disconnect, but if it will re-enter the range in less than 5 minute time, it will reconnect automatically. To save battery life while out of range, the headset will turn off automatically if 5 minutes have passed.

The microphone has been improved a little as well, as we have noted while testing with some Discord sessions; the voice is now even better picked up, while keeping the noise levels to a minimum.

The Bluetooth connection is great when listening to music or watching video content while on-the-go, ALYA 2.0 being able to also take calls when the microphone is installed. For this aspect, the carry bag is very welcome, for keeping the headset protected while traveling.

The second revision did not drop the 3.5 mm jack analog interface, for keeping compatibility with a large range of audio sources, even legacy!

AQIRYS ALYA 2.0 is not currently available in the online store of the manufacturer, but in the local Romanian market, we can find it for about 62.5 Euros, a good price for what we are getting!
