ASUS - ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova

Let me know what you think! There’s no aptX Bluetooth, and it can’t multipair devices at the same time via BT, and there’s no ANC. But to me, none of those are deal breakers. They fit well enough to have some noise isolation, and they can pair to both dongle and phone BT at the same time (I think - will test again this evening) to allow calls to come in, though cannot play music simultaneously to game sound. I have ordered the ASUS Cetra Speednovas to try just in case as well but they won’t come for a while. Pretty sure that as they cost £200 and the PrismXR costs £60 I’ll be keeping the latter!

Did you get them? What’s your verdict? The SpeedNovas arrived yesterday. I’ve gotta say I’m a bit torn now. The sound from the speednova is probably better, and the dongle doesn’t obscure the other usbc port. But most importantly it is more comfortable in my ear. Not sure I could justify the extra cost, but comfort is everything right? Still - the PrismXR is a great and much more cost effective choice imo

While they sound good.... the battery after a year "warranty out" in the earbuds themselves only last about an hour and twenty to thirty minutes...

Saying they aren't your preference is one thing, saying they're trash is just hating for other reasons. I think the sound is pretty good, and you can connect to multiple devices since it comes with an RF receiver for low latency. If you're gaming and you really want portable then it doesn't get much better than these. Do Apple, Sony, or Bose have TWS with RF? I don't think so... Generally speaking gaming audio is trash, these are not.

I have a few gaming earbuds. Reason is I need ANC while gaming and want consistently low latency, which means they need to feature a 2.4Ghz connection (which is usually via dongle). I had the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed, JBL Quantum, Sony Inzone and now the Cetra Speednova. The Cetra win hands down as they combine good ANC, decent sound (you can eq them as well) and decent battery life. The weaknesses of the others are: JBL Quantum: Terrible battery life (like 2 hours with ANC on), don't fit my ear well. Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed: Decent tbh, but they have weaker ANC and when the case is connected to my PC to charge it causes weird issues sometimes. Sony Inzone: Slightly weaker ANC, don't fit my ears well and have the worst constant white noise ever. Without ANC they already have a really high noise floor and with ANC on there is another layer of white noise. They are unusable to me for that reason even though they seem to be the best in all other regards especially with their incredible battery life. That leaves the Cetra, which fit my ears really well and have good anc. The battery life is not as good as the Sony ones but still decent. In general: Don't buy gaming earbuds unless you want to game with them. For gaming though the Cetra are the best in my book so far. I am thinking about giving the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed Pro (they have much worse battery life as well though) a shot though.

Skip… I had them for a few weeks and sold them on Facebook marketplace.. they are so shit

I had them for... Half an hour and they sound like trash. Especially for the price. If you want good sound quality for for a brand that is known for audio stuff, like Sennheiser or something like this. Airpod pros also sound much better that those but their compatibility with non Apple devices is garbage.

They're rather similar in terms of audio quality. If you want shiny ROG earphones, sure. But if you want decent earphones in terms of audio for that money, even the 150€ ones, look elsewhere. The only thing they might be good at, is that they use aptx Low latency, but this is also available on other earphones and these still sound better.

I had them for 3 months, they sound pretty good.. since i wear my airpods pro (so also in ears)many hours per day for work, i gave them back.. that was the only reason. I bought over ears than (the Astro A50 Gen 5)

Me and my friend have tested the Pulse Explore, Sony Inzone, and Razer Hammerhead earbuds, but none matched the sound quality of the ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova. Spent a week comparing each model directly and reached the same conclusion. Therefore, the ASUS ROG Cetra was our preferred choice.

I have the Asus rog ear buds they work pretty good. Only use them with the ally so I don't have to repair with air pods to the ally and my phone. Amazon or Best buy sell them on sale quite often.

I did that. Sony Inzone have static/ white noise issues and JBL Quantum TWS sounds terrible. Razer Hammerhead or the ROG Cetra are much better than the ones from "reputable audio/gear manufacturer" ive listed.

Galaxy Buds or ROG Cetra for wireless, but honestly just grab some IEMs of Amazon - $50 and you're set. They are so good for long stints at the PC. Wireless is good when I want to walk around and work on other things while listening to music or a VOD or something.
