    Great Earbuds. Battery Life Not Great on 2.4GHz

    Good sound quality with a great mic. It is very easy to pair with my Asus gaming setup. The comfort of these earbuds is excellent. I like the flexibility for connecting them. I am using the 2.4GHz connection and the quality is solid; however, the battery life could be better. Within 3 hours of playing World of Warcraft while connected to Discord I get the low battery warning. Perhaps my battery life will be better if I connect bluetooth instead, If the battery life was better, I would definitely give 5 stars!

    [Employee of bestbuy] These ear buds are great! I need something for work that has R.F. connection and the only thing that works was stupid bulky headphones, but these changed the game. I like the look, the sound its great, microphone its great! Comes with different tips for different fits. I don't know why others talk about the microphone, it's excellent, I use these for calls at work, it's been perfect.

    I personally love them. I saw a lot of mixed reviews online maybe I am biased since I have the xbox ally x and love how they look together. If you have a handheld console this is a must buy. I love them yet I swapped them for the black version to match my xbox ally x

    Honest review these are horrible and the audacity to price them 200$+ is embarrassing. your better off buying some cheap turtle beaches I promise you. Every other minute they cut out and you can’t hear the game I’ve checked to see if needed to be software updated and no. They wouldn’t be bad if they would fix that connection issue. However when I’m just connected to phone listening to music I don’t have this problem but on PC and ps5 they lag out constantly while playing games. Also the battery don’t last too long

    Unacceptable issues for the cost

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    In a number of ways the earbuds are quite good. Audio quality, noise cancelling, battery life; all perfectly acceptable. The buds charge connection is solid, welcome in an era where buds can frequently fail to charge correctly even when placed in a clean case. And the ability to shift between RF and BT is also welcomed, if somewhat expected given the target audience. However, this is bare minimum for buds of this price range, and it's in the day to day use where issues arise. The touch controls are questionable at best. These are definitely buds designed with the expectation you'd be using them on a gaming rig (where you're more likely to have a keyboard which can control volume) because the default settings of the buds are impractical compared to their peers. More problematic are the ear tips, which may as well be made of Teflon. I didn't buy these with the expectation I'd be working out with them, but I can't recommend these for long haired users as just turning my head can cause them to get knocked out; and adjusting them for a better fit means, combined with the sensitive controls (to a fault in this case), that once well positioned your next act with the earbuds will be to fix whatever settings you accidentally may have adjusted. Both these and the SteelSeries Arctis control the costs of their devices by cutting quality in various ways; and when sat next to each other it's easy to assume that at Asus the design team focused on making them look "cool" won out, compared to the team at SteelSeries. For instance, the space with the bright RGB Asus ROG logo in the case would've been far better suited for a docking location for the dongle. The Arctis has tactile buttons, far more practical in gaming sessions than the sometimes hyper-sensitive, sometimes non-functional touch controls of the Asus. Finally if you wish to customize the buds in anyway, you're locked into the behemoth of bloat that's the ArmouryCrate app. Assuming you're on a Windows machine at least; Linux users not welcome.

      Dear PeterW,

      Thank you for your feedback.

      We do understand your dissatisfaction with the ear buds and the inconvenience this may have caused if it didn't meet your expectations. While the Armoury Crate utility can control the earbuds features, ANC modes are directly control on the eadbuds. Information coming from valuable customers, like you, will continuously help us improve our future product offering and services. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

    The ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless earbuds deliver crisp, punchy audio that makes footsteps, gunfire, and in-game details stand out. Low latency keeps everything perfectly synced, and the fit stays comfortable even during long gaming sessions. Solid battery life and ANC make them great for both competitive play and everyday use.

    Overall, the ASUS - ROG Cetra earbuds are fantastic. The sound quality is solid, and they're comfortable for long hours at a time. As someone who writes and streams for a living, they're solid, though the batteries tend to get low after five or so hours. The recharge is fast though, so in a way, that's helpful, as it forces me to occasionally take breaks and unwind. They're also easy to pair up, and have a decent range before they start to cut out. I'm so glad I'm using these instead of a clunky headset. They only really have two negatives. The first is the microphone is mediocre at best. That's not what I bought them for, so I'm not upset about that. However, you cannot turn off the touch controls (pause, turning on ANC, et cetera). Those are great if you're paired up to your phone, but I wish they could be turned off.

    The real "Pro" ROG Cetera TWS!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The ASUS ROG Cetera SpeedNova's are everything I'd want in a gaming headset in True Wireless format. They have enough RGB for street cred, a nice compact design, and an industrial design/style that fits right into the ROG ecosystem I've built myself, from my ROG Phone 9 Pro, Flow Z13 tablet, Zephyrus G14 laptop, Ally Z1E, or any of the other accessories I've collected. I tried the "basic" ROG Cetera TWS headphones, but the SpeedNova's are the premium pair - While similar in appearance, the noise cancelling and response is nowhere near what these are capable of. Audio clarity is better, microphone quality is improved, and when using them with the included SpeedNova adapter for RF-based real-time connection, latency is non-noticeable. These are like the "Pro" edition of the ROG Cetera TWS buds, and they're worth the premium, especially when sale prices can be found that put them within a 150% delta of the original.

    They are great earbuds for the price when they are on sale. I prefer earbuds over a headset. There is sometimes weird syncing issues between the 2 earbuds when you charge just a single one while using the other, but when you put them in the case, it fixes the issue. Battery life is pretty good. I usually do have to throw them in the charger around 3 hours or so.

    I normally don’t buy wireless ear buds for the reason of the quality, unless it s headset. But I bought these for my boyfriend and they work amazing! He is such a tech guy and even he didn’t have high hopes for these but boy did they surprise us. They have great quality, multi tasking function as in he can game on his PC and hear his game and listen to music from his phone at the same time. Plus the RGB lights are a bonus and so cool. Honestly if you’re thinking about buying these no longer to second guess cause they are great!
