Asus ROG Cetra Speednova & Carnyx Review

[@drizzlydr4ke]

The price ain’t it tho, $200 and it’s even more from where I live. The soundcore ones p10 vr I believe cost much less and does well.

[@SandraOriana]

The soundcore is what I use now. Got them on sale. Love the EQ settings so I can switch it up for music and gaming. Hate the battery life.

[@Emptycrazydragon102]

Yeah the soundcores are good budget option but it’s the battery life that annoys me, even with rgb off. And there isn’t any ANC.

[@calpispop]

Can't wait to hear which side of the fence you are with the Singolo. From the reviews I've seen from people that have had them in hand they've been pretty divisive

[@TheTechne]

That bass is so much fun on them Cetras right? Brought me back to the beats days. Just fun

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Right!!!!? It actually was very fun. I hope I emphasized that enough. I went through a few takes 😭

[@TheTechne]

@@FreshReviewsYTyeah Man U covered them great 👍 I feel like we had all the same points 😂

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@@TheTechne I bet they sound DAMN good too in Diablo iv (which we need to play if you’re still playing)

@@FreshReviewsYT heck yeah man, and some Helldivers

[@FreshReviewsYT]

@TheTechne I need to play more Helldivers. Too much fun

[@LONEWOLF_FYCN]

I was definitely waiting for your take on these since they became available

[@Ghostbeyond619]

Finally, someone who actually comments on the latency. Thanks for the review.

[@TechKile]

Glad to see your take on the Carnyx, mine had a similar issue on the Bright and Natural EQ's where it sounded like the mic was always peaking and it almost sounded busted

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Likewise! I wish it worked out a bit better. I wonder if there will be some firmware updates and software updates. I just couldn’t get it to not sound webcammmy to people on discord

[@TechKile]

@@FreshReviewsYT yeah, I couldn’t agree more!

[@PebblesInTime]

@Fresh Reviews It would be amazing to see a video of the audio setup including the Scarlett solo 4th Gen and how you set up any software audio tools that are included with it. Does it go into your Topping DX9 and so on? Maybe a current setup video in general as well.

[@WickedRed1WR]

What these need is for someone to make memory foam ear pieces that that you can secure them better in your ears for the better feel. I feel the same thing like they are going to fall out. The Bose Quiet Comfort II earbuds have the same ear piece type and will work with these. Might be worth buying the memory foam ear pieces that are made for those and see how they feel.

[@NxghtK]

Hello Fresh Reviews, can you make a tierlist for the upcoming wireless gaming earbuds in the future? Sorry if i ask too much😅

[@osingaaa4545]

i bought qkz hbb iem after watching ur video and i loved it . thank u very much buddy ❤

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Ty! Glad you’re enjoying

[@alialshara5227]

what wireless earbuds would you use for gaming on pc that has a decent discord mic as well?

[@miguelspinola1334]

Do you think you could make a review or give your thoughts on the Razer Hammerhead HyperSpeed - although its not a new product at all, its very similar and at a similar pricepoint it would be interesting to see how it fairs against the Cetra

[@JordanWilde]

Glad I saw that the mic is terrible, was going to drop the 200$ 😩

[@StopMeFast]

When are they actually releasing these?

[@noodlynico]

Nice review! Do you have any impressions on the bluetooth latency with windows? The dongle is nice, but sometimes I game on devices which don't have access points for the dongle

[@spooky1640]

Really wish they could make the mic better in wireless earbuds ://

[@DjSL3ID3R]

40 hours of battery life, does this mean 40h when recharged with the case occasionally? How long is the battery life on its own when fully charged and no recharging with the case?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

It’s advertised at 40+ with anc off and rgb off for the earbud itself. Although it’s listed as 11+30. So that might mean what you get from the bud itself and the carrying case charge. Honestly I kept placing them back into the case after my testing so I didn’t get a full accurate test read on battery life other than I I was able to use them for two weeks without having to charge the carrying case

[@sentryion3106]

Hi Fresh Reviews, I took your advice and got the hd560s some time ago. Now I need something that is more closed. What IEM / closed back do you recommend that has similar gaming performance to the hd560s? Thanks!

[@tjwsnt2007]

The problem is they sound like skull candy ear buds. They're one of the worst i have tried. Sound cores that are half the price have ten times the sound and bass.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Yea

[@user_james1120]

Hello, I have a question. I just got these headphones and tested their voice recording function. Even though they use bone conduction for recording and I have the noise reduction for voice enabled in Armoury Crate, why do they still pick up the clicking sound of a mouse? Do you have same problem?

[@mortennielsen5441]

Hi i love you're contents!! keep it up ! :) i have a question, what a you driving IEMS like the YanYin Canon 2 with ? how many bits and hz you use ? and do you use programs like Dolby Atmos ? I just buy the Yinyan Canon 2 after i seen you're rewiw about them :)

[@theglowiesareinmywalls]

How's the hiss that most wireless buds have on these? Is it annoying/very noticeable when in a quiet room?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

If the ambient noise option is off they’re quite silent.

[@opinn90]

great review as always man keep it up love the content Fresh!. quick question looking for a upgrade from kiwi ears not too comfortable for me. using ifi zen dac v2 or dt900 pro x for headphones, was thinking of hype 4 or cannon 2? any recommendations as far as sound and comfort goes and possibly a upgrade to the dac lol? thanks again

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Man tough call. Really can’t go wrong with either. Personally which ever you can get a better deal on. If same price I prefer the hype 4. For an amp dac upgrade could look at the SMSL do400

Fresh, hello, I'm struggling with the question of which DAC to buy. Which one on your list would you recommend? I saw the new dl200 released by SMSL, but I'm afraid to buy it because I'm on a tight budget and I want to buy something that you've tested and trust you again.

There is no best mouse on the market. There is no one size fits all. I can only say what I’m personally gravitating towards for my own gameplay. That would be the x2h and Vaxee xe

Hello, I'd like to ask, when using Discord on the computer, does it switch to call mode? Or does it maintain the original audio output? Because the audio quality becomes terrible in call mode with headphones, this has been an issue since the first generation. I can't use the headphone microphone and maintain the same audio quality for listening.

[@FreshReviewsYT]

I’m almost positive it maintained the original audio input. With virtual surround on, I will say though that voices on discord have reverb. With it off they sounded fine

I actually think you’ll enjoy them for that tbh! I didn’t even think about VR. It’s a perfect use case for that as long as the fit works out with the vr headset. I just recommend putting dirac on because imo it sounds muuuuch better. Virtual surround might works out well also for vr
