Asus Cetra Open Wireless Earbuds: A New Standard for Gaming Handhelds

The Asus Cetra Open Wireless earbuds are a game-changer for gamers on-the-go, offering an immersive audio experience with optional RGB LED effects and a feature-packed design that sets them apart from the competition. With their large, open-style design, the Cetra Open deliver full-bodied performance with surprisingly solid bass and mids thanks to Asus’ Phantom Bass feature. However, they may not be the best choice for every listening scenario or all people due to noise leakage issues in loud environments. Fortunately, the earbuds are comfortable and offer multiple features that make up for these limitations. One of the standout features of the Cetra Open is its USB-C 2.4GHz audio transmitter, which provides seamless connectivity with devices such as the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2. This feature elevates the earbuds to a must-own gadget for gamers on handhelds, allowing for power passthrough, one-way charging up to 60W. In addition to its impressive features, the Cetra Open also boasts multipoint connectivity, allowing users to connect to two Bluetooth devices at once or to one Bluetooth device while connected to its transmitter. The earbuds are also designed with comfort and convenience in mind, featuring a hefty case that charges via USB-C and can charge the earbuds multiple times before running out of power. To customize audio settings, Asus offers multiple options through its Armoury Crate app on mobile devices and Gear Link site on PC. Users can adjust settings such as audio and mic preferences, brightness and lighting effects, and even set custom commands for single, double, triple, or quadruple presses on the earbuds’ top-mounted buttons. While great wireless earbuds for gaming already existed before the Cetra Open, these earbuds offer a unique combination of features that make them an excellent choice for gamers looking for flexibility and convenience.
