Personalized Audio Profiles

Phantom Bass enhances deep low-end perception for powerful bass, and Immersion mode reduces rumble and fan noise to help you stay focused and minimize distractions.

  • Woman playing a handheld console while enjoying Phantom Bass mode on ROG Cetra Open Wireless

    Phantom Bass

    Phantom Bass is a technology that uses perceptual audio processing to restore low-end perception, boosting sub-bass harmonics to restore depth and impact, delivering a natural, open sound with full, powerful bass. This feature is particularly beneficial because open-ear designs naturally lose low-frequency impact due to air leakage.

    Immersion Mode

    Immersion Mode is a dynamic frequency filter that selectively attenuates low-frequency background noise such as rumbles or fans, to help you stay focused and minimize distractions.
