ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the U.S. availability of the ROG Cetra Open Wireless earbuds. Designed to combine immersive audio performance with real-world situational awareness, the Cetra Open Wireless is ideal for gamers, music lovers, and active users who want premium sound without blocking out their surroundings.
The open-ear design allows users to stay aware of their environment while still enjoying rich, detailed audio powered by large 14.2mm diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated drivers. Dual-Mode connectivity enables seamless switching between Bluetooth® and ultra-low-latency 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless technology for perfectly synced in-game audio. An included USB-C® 2.4GHz dongle supports passthrough charging, allowing users to power their device while staying connected.
Dual Mode Connectivity
Cetra Open Wireless offers versatile connectivity for both everyday listening and competitive gaming. Bluetooth® enables convenient pairing across mobile devices, while ROG SpeedNova 2.4GHz wireless technology delivers ultra-low latency and precise audio-visual sync. The included USB-C® 2.4GHz dongle, ROG’s first with one-way passthrough charging, enables uninterrupted gameplay or streaming by allowing users to charge their device while the earbuds remain connected.
Immersive Audio Performance
Large 14.2mm DLC-coated diaphragm drivers produce high-resolution audio with crisp highs, clear mids, and impactful bass. The diamond-like carbon coating helps minimize distortion and enhance clarity, creating a spacious soundstage suited for both gaming and music.
Built-in sound modes allow users to customize their experience. Phantom Bass enhances perceived low-end response for a more powerful listening experience, while Immersion Mode reduces ambient noise for greater focus.
Built for Active Lifestyles
The Cetra Open Wireless is ideal for all-day use thanks to ergonomic liquid silicone ear hooks, and a detachable reflective neck strap adds stability for workouts and outdoor activities. Physical control buttons deliver precise, tactile feedback and remain responsive even in rain or during intense workouts. Unlike touch controls, they help prevent accidental inputs while maintaining consistent performance.
With IPX5 splash resistance, the Cetra Open Wireless stands up to sweat, light rain, and daily adventures. On a full charge, the earbuds deliver up to 16 hours of use in Bluetooth® mode (with RGB lighting and sound modes off and the microphone muted). A quick 15-minute charge provides up to 3 hours of listening time.
Availability and Pricing
The ROG Cetra Open Wireless is available now for $229.99 at the ASUS eStore, Amazon, Micro Center, and Newegg.
