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.

THE BEST 2.4Ghz TWS gaming headset NOW! Asus ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova

Asus ROG SpeedNova Headset Review: TWS Gaming Headset Costs 5 Million?

The ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS SPEEDNOVA has an exceptional microphone quality to be squeezed inside a mini headset, it also takes advantage of skull bone conduction connected directly to the microphones, which thanks to artificial intelligence also take advantage of adaptive noise cancellation. Simply 5 minutes of charging provides 60 minutes of audio playback.

ASUS ROG Cetra in Speed Nova version are true wireless headphones that aim to better assist gamers with latency support. In addition to their gaming functions, they are also great for simply listening to music thanks to noise cancellation, and thanks to the included adapter, they are also very good for notebook PC gaming.

I really like the concept of in-ear TWS headphones that work through a dongle. It's really convenient, because you can use them with a PC at home, a smartphone on the street, and several other devices. One device for many occasions is great!

The most important thing is that they are perfect for esports and you don't have to carry a huge gaming headset with you

I'm done with cables?

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. Plus, integrated wind noise reduction optimizes the ANC effect for fully immersive audio.

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.
