ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has unveiled the ROG Cetra Open Wireless, a new pair of open-ear wireless earbuds built for gamers, music lovers, and users with active lifestyles who want immersive sound without losing awareness of their surroundings. Blending powerful audio hardware with flexible connectivity and a secure, workout-ready design, the Cetra Open Wireless is designed to perform just as well in intense gaming sessions as it does on daily commutes or outdoor runs.<\/p>\n

At the core of the experience is Dual-Mode connectivity, giving users the option to connect via standard Bluetooth\u00ae or switch to ROG SpeedNova 2.4GHz wireless for ultra-low-latency performance. This ensures in-game audio stays perfectly synchronised with on-screen action. ROG also introduces its first USB-C\u00ae 2.4GHz dongle with one-way passthrough charging, allowing users to keep their device powered while staying connected, ideal for long gaming sessions or extended use on the go.<\/p>\n

Big drivers, expansive sound<\/strong>
\nThe Cetra Open Wireless features large 14.2mm diaphragm drivers with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, engineered to reduce distortion while delivering crisp highs, punchy bass, and a wide, open soundstage. This design enhances clarity and detail across games, music, and media, creating an immersive listening experience while maintaining environmental awareness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Built for comfort and control<\/strong>
\nDesigned for all-day wear, the earbuds use ergonomic liquid silicone ear hooks that sit securely without sealing the ear canal. A detachable reflective neck strap adds extra stability and visibility during outdoor activities. Instead of touch controls, the Cetra Open Wireless relies on physical buttons, offering reliable, tactile input that works consistently, even in rain, sweat, or during intense movement, while reducing accidental presses.<\/p>\n

Customizable audio modes<\/strong>
\nOn-board sound presets allow users to tailor audio to different scenarios. Phantom Bass enhances low-end presence for a fuller, more impactful sound, while Immersion Mode helps reduce ambient noise for greater focus during gameplay or listening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ready for everyday adventures<\/strong>
\nWith IPX5 splash resistance, the Cetra Open Wireless is built to handle rain, sweat, and daily wear with ease. Battery life reaches up to 16 hours of continuous use in Bluetooth\u00ae mode with RGB lighting and sound modes disabled and the microphone muted. When time is short, a 15-minute quick charge delivers up to three hours of listening, ensuring the earbuds are always ready to go.<\/p>\n

With its open-ear design, low-latency wireless performance, and gamer-focused features, the ROG Cetra Open Wireless delivers a versatile audio solution that balances immersion, comfort, and real-world awareness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
