I’ve been searching for a while for the perfect gaming earbuds. I tried the razer hammerheads wireless way back when they first came out, and they were alright. Since then, I’ve been looking for something else as I hate wearing a headset and find them bulky and that they take up too much space on a desk, even with a hook.
I tried the regular ROG Cetra, but the Bluetooth just had too much lag to make it enjoyable for the games I was playing. It was about 1/4-1/2 second behind, but it was enough to be noticeable. Otherwise the buds themselves were comfortable.
Then, onto Anker Soundcore VRp10. These were great with the dongle, and they connected well to my pc, vr headset, and cell phone. The volume left some to be desired and the quality was alright, but the microphone was useless.
After those, I tried the JBL Quantums, which sounded better, had a decent connection with their dongle, but just couldn’t stay charged, plus weren’t the most comfortable.
Now onto the Rog Cetra Speednovas, and dang these are great! They sound just as good as my AirPod pro’s, the audio is clear with no hiccups, and has fantastic range. I love not having to worry about a wire, and they recharge fast in the case. The microphone is great too. My only gripe is that there is no easy way to store the dongle with the carrying case so I’ll have to plan to bring that separately somehow whenever I go on a trip. I’d highly recommend these to anyone who’s had a hard time finding the perfect earbuds since I went through that enough already. I have every intention to change my review if I run into an issue with quality or performance in the future. But for now, they’re practically perfect!

Good, but clunky (and with a sad ending)
Let's start with the positives:+The earbuds look great and sound impressive for an earbud, even competitive with my pulse elite headset.+Bass is punchy without being overpowering, and the general audio quality is clear specially when enabling DIRAC (however, when using them as 2-way communication - sound output and microphone - the audio fidelity takes a big hit).+ The dongle works very well, connection to my ps5 and pc was easy and fast.+ You can edit the equalizer using an app which is convenient.+The ANC can be pretty effective against ambient noise. It's not headphone quality, but again I was surprised considering the size.+ they charge back up extremely quickly in the case.Overall, very solid.However, I also found many negatives:- While the connection is stable, the audio would occasionally become very echoey and this would not change until disconnected and reconnected (putting them back on the case).- The touch interface is not very intuitive, and it's easy to touch unintentionally. The touch inputs also cannot be edited. So, you're stuck touching your right ear 4 times if you want to raise the volume.- Overall, there's not a lot of guidance on the usage of the device, neither in the manual nor the app.- I couldn't get the dongle and Bluetooth connections to play together. Once the dongle is plugged in, the Bluetooth is entirely overwritten. This means you can't receive calls unless you unplug the dongle, even if both your phone and the dongle are connected. I am not sure if this is just not supported or if it's just something my setup (again hard to find troubleshooting about the product).I also found that the battery life was quite inconsistent. While using the dongle on the ps5 with leds off and no ANC they could last from 4 to 7 hours, and each earbud could have significantly different battery life too (sometimes even 20% charge left in one earbud when both started from full charge at the same time). This may be a standard with gaming earbuds though, I have no point of comparison.I find the fit to be MOSTLY stable. However, because of the "dangly" design, they can slide off your ear.I found they got occasionally looser on my right ear, and this led to the final sad part:About 2 weeks after buying them I was walking back to my car from the grocery store - hands busy, when the right earbud fell off my ear and (of course it would) bounced a little in front of me. Before I realized where it went, I stepped on it and cracked it, fully killing it.I tried contacting Asus support, and they said there was no repair, replacement, buy-in/trade in or anything I could do.It's done.I understand this was my fault, but it's also quite frustrating that the only way to repair them would be buying a complete new set.I CAN use only the left one, but the features are extremely limited (especially since the controls cannot be changed).All in all, the ASUS ROG CETRA SPEEDNOVA are okay earbuds, but everything around them feels a little disappointing.

I have worn bulky headsets while gaming more often than not. If I just want to recline with my ASUS ROG Ally for a few hours with these in I can hardly feel them there. Amazing for my use case. Sound quality is great. I've had a few instances of audio interference watching movies, but it was an isolated instance. No problems outside of that. I only wish the battery was a tad longer. Excellent product!!!
