ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced the ROG Cetra Open Wireless earbuds. Designed to provide immersive audio with real-world situational awareness, the Cetra Open Wireless earbuds are ideal for gaming, music, and active lifestyles. The Dual-Mode connectivity provides Bluetooth and ultra-low-latency ROG SpeedNova 2.4 GHz wireless connections, and an included USB-C dongle enables interruption-free passthrough charging. The earbuds feature 14.2 mm diamond-like carbon-coated diaphragm drivers that deliver crisp highs, deep bass, and a spacious soundstage. Soft ear hooks with a detachable reflective neck strap provide all-day comfort and a secure fit, while tactile physical buttons ensure precise control during workouts or gaming. The Cetra Open Wireless includes audio presets including Immersion Mode for noise reduction and Phantom Bass for enhanced low-end perception.

Dual Mode connectivity

Dual Mode connectivity gives users the choice to connect to their devices via Bluetooth or via ultra-low-latency 2.4 GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless technology. The latter ensures perfectly-synced in-game audio and visuals during games. The Cetra Open Wireless also includes ROG’s first USB-C 2.4 GHz dongle that supports one-way passthrough charging, allowing users to charge their device while the earbuds are connected.

Immersive audio
The 14.2 mm DLC-coated diaphragm drivers in the Cetra Open Wireless help produce high-resolution audio with minimal distortion. The unique diaphragm design increases clarity and detail by producing crisp highs and deep bass.

Comfort with control

The Cetra Open Wireless is ideal for all-day use thanks to ergonomic liquid silicone ear hooks and a detachable reflective neck strap that ensure a secure fit. The earbuds also include physical control buttons for precise, tactile control while gaming or working out. Unlike touch controls, the buttons remain responsive even when it rains or when the wearer sweats, and help prevent unintentional commands.

On-board audio modes

Different audio modes enable users to customize audio to suit their preferences, for authentic listening experiences. Phantom Bass enhances the low-end perception, and Immersion Mode reduces ambient noise.

Additional features

IPX5 splash-resistance means users can enjoy music or communication through rain, sweat or everyday adventures, making the Cetra Open Wireless perfect for runs and other outdoor pursuits. On a full charge, the Cetra Open Wireless offers up to 16 hours of continuous use in Bluetooth mode, with on-board sound modes and RGB lighting turned off and the microphone muted. A quick 15-minute charge provides up to 3 hours of listening time.

Availability & Pricing

The ROG Cetra Open Wireless earbuds is now available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland at the recommended retail price of 209, – EUR / CHF including VAT from specialist retailers, online stores, and the ASUS Webshop
