ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless Gaming Headphones (2.4 GHz & Bluetooth 5.3, ROG SpeedNova, 24-bit 96 kHz Audio, Bone-Conduction AI Microphones, Adaptive ANC, 46-Hour Battery Life)- Moonlight White

The biggest reason to get these buds is the combination of a low-latency dongle and simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity. I can use these at home for gaming with low-latency audio, then take them to work to use for productivity (leaving the dongle at home) while remaining connected to my phone in between. If there were more competitors that had this feature set my review might be a bit more critical, but since it's one of the few devices capable of this I'm going with 5 stars.Other pros:- Good audio- Good noise canceling- Good battery life- Good Bluetooth behavior on Android (Galaxy S23) and Windows 11I never get anywhere close to low battery, so even though this has better battery life than its competitors it's probably overkill.There are caveats, but they are not severe enough to lower my 5-star review.- Pass-through audio mode is merely adequate; nothing special- The Windows software is bloated and therefore best avoided- The case can be fiddly to open- The touch commands are pretty complicated and you can't customize them. Usually the only one I care about is toggling the noise canceling. I wish it were single tap instead of double because it's very easy to miss.- I've turned off the "Wear Detection" feature but it still likes to play/pause when I'm inserting or removing them. Customizing the touch controls would help here.- On very rare occasions you get glitchy behavior. When this happens on Windows you'll want to remove the dongle, wait, then plug it back in.

These are amazing earphones. The sound quality is honestly unbelievably excellent. You can adjust the audio to different sound profiles to fit your need. Gaming they are great with no noticeable delay. Music also sounds very good. These are high quality earbuds. Worth every penny in my opinion. Don't short yourself and get the regular ones. Get the speednova. Longer lasting battery and no latency when gaming. I'm sure the quality is not as good either.The only problem was amazon sent me an open box product. The software on pc showed that these have been connected to another device and on top of that the USB cord and the extra ear pieces were not in the box. They did me dirty there but I'm still giving 5 stars because these are some damn good earbuds.

These sound good for listening to music and playing relaxed story games. For competitive fps games, these are really bad. The latency with the dongle isn’t horrible, but it’s there and it’s noticeable. The game volume is relatively low, and tracking footsteps and other in game sounds is next to impossible (RB6S). Connectivity is good when it works, but in the 3 days I used it, the sound completely cut out 3 separate times. The mic works, but everyone started laughing the second I spoke in discord xD. The mic makes you sound robotic. I will say the product feels solid and and comfortable. HOWEVER, given that these are GAMING earbuds, they get a big NOPE from me. These are pretty much for story type games and that’s it. If you are looking just for listening to music, AirPods sound better (but feel cheaper), and are less expensive.

Love these things , the noise canceling is amazing

Let's start with the positives:+The earbuds look great and sound impressive for an earbud, even competitive with my pulse elite headset.+Bass is punchy without being overpowering, and the general audio quality is clear specially when enabling DIRAC (however, when using them as 2-way communication - sound output and microphone - the audio fidelity takes a big hit).+ The dongle works very well, connection to my ps5 and pc was easy and fast.+ You can edit the equalizer using an app which is convenient.+The ANC can be pretty effective against ambient noise. It's not headphone quality, but again I was surprised considering the size.+ they charge back up extremely quickly in the case.Overall, very solid.However, I also found many negatives:- While the connection is stable, the audio would occasionally become very echoey and this would not change until disconnected and reconnected (putting them back on the case).- The touch interface is not very intuitive, and it's easy to touch unintentionally. The touch inputs also cannot be edited. So, you're stuck touching your right ear 4 times if you want to raise the volume.- Overall, there's not a lot of guidance on the usage of the device, neither in the manual nor the app.- I couldn't get the dongle and Bluetooth connections to play together. Once the dongle is plugged in, the Bluetooth is entirely overwritten. This means you can't receive calls unless you unplug the dongle, even if both your phone and the dongle are connected. I am not sure if this is just not supported or if it's just something my setup (again hard to find troubleshooting about the product).I also found that the battery life was quite inconsistent. While using the dongle on the ps5 with leds off and no ANC they could last from 4 to 7 hours, and each earbud could have significantly different battery life too (sometimes even 20% charge left in one earbud when both started from full charge at the same time). This may be a standard with gaming earbuds though, I have no point of comparison.I find the fit to be MOSTLY stable. However, because of the "dangly" design, they can slide off your ear.I found they got occasionally looser on my right ear, and this led to the final sad part:About 2 weeks after buying them I was walking back to my car from the grocery store - hands busy, when the right earbud fell off my ear and (of course it would) bounced a little in front of me. Before I realized where it went, I stepped on it and cracked it, fully killing it.I tried contacting Asus support, and they said there was no repair, replacement, buy-in/trade in or anything I could do.It's done.I understand this was my fault, but it's also quite frustrating that the only way to repair them would be buying a complete new set.I CAN use only the left one, but the features are extremely limited (especially since the controls cannot be changed).All in all, the ASUS ROG CETRA SPEEDNOVA are okay earbuds, but everything around them feels a little disappointing.

These have to be the worst sounding earbuds I've ever used. God forbid they actually stay in your ears, and yes I changed the earcups to the appropriate size. I have yet to get any kind of decent sound out of these things. My generic $20 earbuds have amazing sound quality over these pieces of junk. But get, RGB, right?
