Choose the AULA G7 if your squad hears too much of your room, and the AULA A500 if you hear too much of it. The G7's 360-degree mic uses AI to scrub background noise from your voice; the A500's hybrid ANC, up to 38dB by AULA's figure, quietens your ears.
"Noise cancelling" is printed on a lot of headset boxes, and it can mean two completely different things. One kind cleans up the noise your microphone hears, so your squad gets your voice without the room. The other kind cleans up the noise your ears hear, so the room fades while you play. AULA sells one of each: the G7 with an AI noise-cancelling mic, and the A500 with hybrid active noise cancelling on the ear cups. Picking between them starts with one question: mic noise cancelling or ANC, whose problem are you trying to solve?
Choose the AULA G7 if your squad hears too much of your room, and the AULA A500 if you hear too much of it. The G7's 360-degree omnidirectional mic uses AI to reduce background noise in your voice chat. The A500 quietens the world around your ears with hybrid ANC, which AULA puts at up to 38dB of reduction, and a transparency mode lets it back in when you need it. The G7 is R299 at Evetech, and the A500 is R639.
The G7's noise cancelling lives in its microphone. According to AULA, the mic picks up sound through 360 degrees and applies AI noise cancelling to trim the background out of voice chat. The target is anything that is not your voice: a fan, keyboard clatter, a television in the next room.
An omnidirectional mic picks up sound from all around, which makes it forgiving about placement but also means it hears the room. That is exactly where AI processing earns its place, separating speech from the rest before it goes out to your team. AULA does not publish a figure for how much it removes, so it is best thought of as a clean-up tool rather than a guarantee of silence.
What it does not do is change what you hear. Your ears get the full sound of the room as usual. The G7's listening features are its FPS surround sound profile, tuned for placing footsteps and direction, and a custom EQ in AULA's audio tuning software. It connects by Bluetooth, 2.4GHz or cable, with AULA quoting 10ms wireless latency for its HyperLink technology, and it adds soft RGB ambient lighting.
The A500 works on the other side of the problem. Its hybrid, or dual-feed, ANC uses microphones on the ear cups to listen to outside sound and play an opposing signal that cancels much of it. AULA rates it at up to 38dB of reduction, working across the 50Hz to 2kHz band. That range covers a lot of everyday drone: traffic hum, air conditioning, a fridge compressor, the low rumble of a busy flat.
Blocking the room is not always what you want. The A500's ANC key cycles through three states: transparency, ANC on and ANC off. Transparency lets outside sound through the ear cups, so you can hear someone speaking to you or the doorbell without lifting a cup. That is handy in a shared home where you still need to hear what is going on.
The A500 has a hidden boom mic that flips down to talk and flips up to mute, and it can be rotated closer to your mouth for clearer pickup. AULA does not describe AI noise cancelling on that mic, so if your main concern is room noise leaking into chat, the G7 addresses it more directly.
Work out which way the noise travels.
There is also a comfort angle. Blocking constant low-frequency noise can make long sessions feel less tiring, which is part of why ANC has spread from travel headphones into gaming. On the other hand, some players prefer to hear the room, and for them the G7 with normal passive isolation is the easier fit.
Both are wireless with more than one route, but the details differ.
The G7 is tri-mode: Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless and a wired mode. AULA's headline number is the 10ms HyperLink wireless latency.
The A500 connects by Bluetooth 5.4 with about 10m of range, by a 2.4GHz USB receiver, or by an audio cable into its 3.5mm jack. It can hold the 2.4GHz and Bluetooth links at the same time: pair the receiver, then Bluetooth, and hold the multi-function and ANC buttons together for one second to swap between them. Its 1000mAh battery runs for about 100 hours with ANC off, or about 60 hours with ANC on, and recharges over USB-C in about three hours.
That dual-link trick suits someone who wants a PC game on the receiver and a phone on Bluetooth without re-pairing. The G7's strength is its low quoted latency and a sound profile built for shooters.
Both headsets sit in Evetech's gaming headsets category, so you can line their listings up side by side. If going cable-free is the starting point, the wireless headset page gathers the receiver and Bluetooth models together, including other ANC designs worth comparing against the A500.
