Awards

4 star

" If you’re after something for immersive single-player experiences or are something of an audiophile, these buds come highly recommended. "

4/5 stars

When it comes to design and audio quality, the ROG Cetra True Wireless Speednova earbuds rival the very best out there, giving the likes of the Sony Inzone Buds a run for their money.

Can Buy

Gaming performance is where the Asus ROG Cetra True Wireless Speednova shines. Using the USB-C 2.4GHz transmitter connected to a PC, audio latency drops to negligible levels. Where previously you would see a slight audio lag in a video (e.g. mouth not syncing with voice), the Speednova in 2.4GHz mode has no such issues. I tested these earbuds in a competitive FPS with no issues. They felt almost comparable to my regular over-ear gaming headset (also using 2.4GHz).

Average Star

Its ANC and Ambient Sound are respectable, the call quality is good, the dongle makes connectivity hassle-free and achieves ultra low-latency high-resolution audio transmission. The RGB lighting is a nice feature to personalise the earbuds.

Realistic Audio

ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova takes advantage of the LC3+ codec to deliver high-resolution 24-bit 96 kHz audio*. Additionally, Dirac Opteo™ offers rich details and accurate sound staging for true-to-life listening experiences.

*In 2.4 GHz mode

Bone-conduction AI Microphones

The absence of a boom mic makes clean and clear voice pickup a challenge for earbuds.
The bone-conduction sensors of ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova capture voice from vibrations of the bones in the wearer’s skull.
Together with the AI Noise-Canceling beamforming microphones, they effectively reduce background noise while maintaining natural sound to ensure crystal-clear calls.

ADAPTIVE ANC

Adaptive ANC delivers major enhancements in noise cancelation as it makes real-time adjustments by constantly detecting how the earbuds are worn and how sound is reflected within the ear canal for perfect listening experiences.

AUTO MODE

Whether on a noisy street or a quiet café, a smart Auto mode identifies ambient noise and automatically adapts to surroundings, dynamically adjusting noise cancelation levels for improved comfort in quiet environments. Plus, integrated wind noise reduction optimizes the ANC effect for fully immersive audio.
