ROG Cetra is a series of headphones from ASUS aimed at gamers. It’s immediately worth noting that these headphones are made with an emphasis on high-quality sound and comfortable use in a variety of scenarios, be it gaming, watching movies or listening to music. Compared to other in-ear headphones for gamers, the average cost of ROG Cetra models may seem slightly overpriced. However, there are several explanations for this.

Firstly, Asus ROG Cetra headphones are equipped with truly high-quality speakers with optional support for Hi-Res audio, providing clear and detailed sound across the entire spectrum, helping the player more accurately perceive the surrounding sounds in the game and react to them faster. For clarity, the flagship ROG Cetra SpeedNova TWS headphones support 24-bit/96 kHz audio, can reproduce high frequencies up to 40,000 Hz and support the built-in Dirac Opteo DSP optimization system.


Built-in active noise cancellation also adds to the cost, as it is a sophisticated technology that helps cut out external noise and improves the overall user experience. In addition to ANC, there is often a transparency mode that allows important external sounds to pass through, which is useful when you need to be aware of what is happening around you. The degree of noise insulation and transparency can be adjusted in the proprietary Armory Crate software. There you can also adjust the sound of the headphones, turn on multi-channel sound and adjust the backlight, if any.

The list of other useful features in the Cetra series most often includes a game mode with reduced input latency, moisture protection of the case, a noise filter built into the conversational microphone, and the ability to simultaneously connect to several devices (Multipoint). The average operating time on a single battery charge is about 6 hours (without ANC).
