These are the BEST wireless gaming earbuds yet! Asus Rog Cetra Speednova Review

[@TheTechne]

Annnnddddd they are $200 🤦‍♂️

[@Tsukasa941]

Well maybe not at that price

[@anddo24]

It's about $70 more than expected. Asus discounted the original one quite often. It's March, these things will be $169 in no time, maybe $129 by BF.

[@ryanspartan7853]

I think you were pretty spot on with where you wanted the price point of these to land. At $200 these become a pretty hard sell. Thanks for the vid

[@TheJustPull5641]

Yikes, 200$!? I’m out

[@palfotta]

Typical... Rog and Corsair always do this. Good product but terrible price tag, therefore terrible value. Sad.

[@brockly4443]

I won’t bore you with specs… proceeds to bust out the calipers… lmao

[@TheTechne]

LOL

Hello Techne, your content always gives me positive vibes.

[@TheTechne]

❤

[@fraktux]

Same here! 🙏🏻

[@NxghtK]

Hello TheTechne if this releases can you please make a video comparing them to other big competitors of gaming earbuds like Soundcore Vr P10, Razer Hammerhead Pro Hyperspeed, etc

[@laxlyfters8695]

I got these on amazon for $160 totally worth it great video

[@Levitexx]

Got mine yesterday. They're awesome! Even better than my steelseries arctis pro. Sound Quality is very decent. No lags noticeable for games in PC and Mobile via 2.4GHz Battery life, did not even need to worry about it dying on me ingame.

[@Smi77y1]

What about Bluetooth lag?

[@Me-la-pelass]

Is multipoint device bluetooth? For example pair with my phone and laptop at same time ? Thank you.

[@josue3434ify]

How about voice quality on discord with the dongle?

[@dmatthews077]

As my go-to headphone/mouse/etc reviewer I would really like to see some more reviews on wireless gaming earbuds and IEMs.

[@MrCharlie6529]

I currently have the soundcore p10vr and they were 55$ on amazon. I love them. I wonder how they compare. I know that those have a few more features than the soundcore but a substantial price difference.

[@TheTechne]

I love soundcore gear

[@bigdbag]

This is super late but I tried both. The cetra speednova is another tier of sound quality, both audio and microphone, it's not even close. The price difference is substantial, but you get what you pay for here.

[@YungSteambuns]

I personally dislike them, they die very fast when on a discord call or anything with a lot of in game bass

[@JohnDoe-og2bt]

I noticed an uptick in latency with those when using the mic. How was your experience?

[@markdavenportjr5129]

Excellent review been looking at some new earbuds for BOTH my gaming PC and phone. :)

[@greywolf1994]

Alright so I just got these in for myself used them for about and hour or two. Used them on my iPhone and pc and they’re great! I had zero issues with latency and they sound great. I was using the usb C dongle also.

[@Legendoflo86]

You weren't getting popping sounds while talking to other players

[@greywolf1994]

@@Legendoflo86No I still have no issues, hopefully an update can fix that?

[@youngjefe7496]

Love the review ! I've been looking for a pair of wireless earbuds for my Ally. I loved how you covered the delay which has been my top concern in picking a pair to go with. Especially with the prob of there only bring one USB-C port like you mentioned. I just might have to go with a wired pair 😪

[@coyotex850]

These looked real interesting then i saw the price and my inner Mr Krabs came out real quick

[@TheTechne]

lol

[@peentgamer]

Damn, not a single mention of "latency" anywhere in the transcript. These are gaming headphones and input delay is extremely important. Please comment on that if possible

[@FaisalSalh-rd9qb]

Lmao, have you found ur answer?

[@resultofhardwork9596]

15 - 25 ms

[@Tex_actual]

He literttalks about it. He said if you use the Bluetooth it’s noticeable but if you use the dongle it’s barely there. Maybe listen next time.

[@chepesk132004]

Thanks bro waiting Amazon Store

[@nothecker1151]

Great vid man,love the enthusiasm. Keep it up 👌

[@Unbricked13]

Great review. Does this still have gaming mode on BT? This should have been what the first version was.

[@daxbald3659]

What about the Latency?

[@Tutku35]

loving the new, minimal background!

[@indianajonze]

hating the new, minimal background!

[@Juice8767]

I’m torn, it DOES look sleek but as a fellow gear hoarder the old layout made me feel like I was home lol

[@Kernow76]

Definitely trying to look pro but preferred the old style where it just worked looking “homely”

[@MarcoInvo]

Latency?? Battery??

[@JessieS]

Can these be used with the PS5? If so, thoughts?

[@gipsyh1963]

It can i think

[@Teklien]

Got mine today & man you were dead on with that EQ! I threw on some Beanie Man & I kept bouncing back & forth between the Hip Hop preset & your EQ! That Dirac is insane! Glad I picked these up.

[@kaiichinose9590]

Another great video, Do you think these are worth it over the Asus ROG Cetra true OG because the specs are the same minus the dongle.

[@m4rku53]

Do they work on xbox??

[@rickprod]

How is the sound compared to the older ones ? I have the older ones and I don’t know if they worth the upgrade.

[@marcell33]

Great video! Question Steelseries is releasing theirs the Arctis Gamebuds! You plan to review these by chance?

[@NeoEdel]

Is comtability for xbox?

[@orestesdd]

Are these earbuds any good to use with a PS5 console? If so, where can I buy them?

[@ASUSUSA]

Yes, they work with PS4 or PS5.

[@TheTechne]

I used them a fair bit on PS5 and really enjoyed them

[@RamboRaxx]

What do you think of the JDS Atom stack over the Schiit Hel? Just using for console to power my DT’s and don’t feel like waiting until May for Schiit shipping.

[@Ghandisgarage]

How is the ambient sound?

[@RichieRichTube]

Do these have simultaneous Bluetooth between devices?

[@UnknownUser_0000]

This is the only question that matters and it will make or break headphones for me.

[@TheTechne]

no they do not, but they do auto change to whatever device is active.

[@TheTechne]

@@UnknownUser_0000 no they do not, but they do auto change to whatever device is active.

[@ankshious]

I wish companies like Asus would make these types of gaming buds without the silicon tips. I would like to see another version without the rubber tips and more of a wrap around the ear style like the the PowerBeats Pro

[@toonnut1]

How many game buds have you ever used?

[@Volcom_StoneD]

Are these good for calls and music ??

[@Bhackett7777]

Same question

[@ericcortez5328]

Is there a link to these just yet?

[@TheTechne]

I cant find one

[@Scary69l]

How do these compare to the pulse earbuds and sony inzones?

[@Nooptema]

I don't understand why they didn't copy soundcore and put passthrough charging on the adapter.

[@9blunted]

Any chance you could compare these with the Logitech g fits? Awesome vid as always!

[@Leinsterbaby]

How do they compare to Sonys?

[@eugenengo1907]

Comparison to the inzone buds?

[@supertt275]

When is the release date, or where to buy it dont mind the price but i can find them

[@king4lric]

the actual question for the gamers is simple: old model is not supporting the 7+1 or surrounding sound for the fps game, is this one supporting it with 2.4ghz dungle?

[@fraktux]

Great review 🤩

[@TheTechne]

thank you

[@gresh8989]

How is the side tone??

[@anddo24]

I don't mind the price. I just want the purchase link so I can get these already. I've been excited for these ever since they were announced. I own the original version, recently got the Explore. But I want the Speed Nova for multiple platforms.

[@Teklien]

Same ... when JJ was talking in Paul's video I threw my debit card at my monitor

[@drizzlydr4ke]

How’s the Explore?

[@VarjoPira]

How's the directional sound? Might pick these up if they go on a good sale.

[@rislanchon5946]

In terms of sound quality which one is better rog cetra speednova or INZONE Buds

[@Teklien]

If you were spending your own $$ would you buy these or the Razer Hammerhead Pro Hypeseed?

[@ZBatt1]

What did you go with?

[@BucketRBX]

I have the same question here, have you chosen one yet?

[@DebugMaster1234]

Dope review!! Unlike all these other review channels that sound like robots talking, you definitely give an honest review! new subscriber!

[@largamau]

Can you hear outside noise with this one. I want to hear ambient noise when someone is talking to me

[@guybrushtwood]

Is there any sidetone or transparency mode?

[@block-ej2kx]

How are these against headset like the stealth pro? In terms of audio and imaging? And what about the Sony inzone buds?

[@masteryoda1118]

hey @thetechne, are u able to use one at a time and have the other in the charging case charging so u can swap one out when the other dies? I know apple airpods ur able to do that

[@marzipanda_]

please can you review the sony inzone earbuds against the steel series earbuds?

[@柯博文-y4l]

Comparison of this new cetra speed nova vs the razed hammerhead hyperspeed pro would be nice! Hopefully u make one on theses!

[@SnowCoconuts]

no gaming audio delay or latency at all on the 2.4ghz frequency???

[@DebugMaster1234]

Do they provide directional sound? For games like cod where hearing footsteps is essential

[@snegzumz7877]

Try comparing it with the previous version of ROG Cetra

[@slimerone]

lil confused - do these work on pc or only with handheld?

[@TheTechne]

pc also

[@slimerone]

@@TheTechne thank you

[@superjt2]

Yeah. They work on pc unless you expect to use them for gaming. Then you have to disable to microphone on them for them not to sound like you are gaming over an old telephone.

[@Reallyoldman227]

Can these work on ps5

[@alexanderbates4332]

Howdy! I was just curious if these or any other earbuds that are gaming related that are compatible with both xbox and PlayStation I own both consoles and I just want a pair that would work for both consoles?

[@ZBatt1]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@Speedy94uru]

what´s the price?

[@TheTechne]

$200 😢

[@user-og8kb4yk6k]

Wireless gaming earbuds will never beat iems at the same price point. Theyre nice sure and have some cool features

[@iloveedoobiesthegamer8745]

Truth , ony plus is the mic on console

[@ZDGAMING1_]

i get mine tomorrow cant wait i want to try wireless gaming for the first time, right now I'm using IEM 7hz timeless with astro a40 amp and the sound is amazing lets see how these compare.

[@JaySushii]

How are they?

[@ZDGAMING1_]

@@JaySushii i played warzone yesterday and for me the sound of my iem with amp sound way better and you could really notice the delay even with the dongle but for music and movies they work very well and i like the noise canceling

[@Gurbanovic]

does it cause problems when using two applications at the same time, such as valorant+discord, when using on a computer?

[@brandon36094]

Can they be used on Xbox ?

[@NickleNinja2]

i tried the older ones.. and the sound was fantastic.. but they really bothered my ears. and their odd shape made changing the ear tips impossible.. i had to return them.. i hope these are better with changing the tips

[@nicolass2262]

I'm trying to know if the mic via USB dongle works with the PS5 ?

[@Tacticalpanda757]

Do these work on the portal?

[@gizmokat6293]

do they work with xbox series x, i can't wait for the steelseries arctis buds.

[@W4HB]

Great review! May i bother you with 2 questions, I've mever used a wireless earbuds/ headphones before, I've only used wired ones, and i only use them for gaming on my ipad pro, which only has one usb c port, i use a hub to connect my headphones + charging cable. 1.if i get these buds, or any wireless ones, will they have latency issues? 2. As for the dongle, if i connect it to the hub attached to the ipad, will latency issue be solved or they only work with pc/ Playstation? I'm sorry for the long comment, but i can't afford to buy one then find out it has lag during gaming and then it'll be useless and wasted my money. Thanks in advance ❤

[@scottdubois1733]

How did you get the app to detect the earbuds. When i pair it pops up and disapears

[@johnnyrodriguez276]

Last Rog Cetras I bought the case wouldn't pair and the earbuds wouldn't turn on at all

[@satuchess]

Can we use the dongle with the iphone?

[@outdawayyy887]

These or $200 IEMs for gaming?

[@stewie27x]

how do these compare to the recent razer earbuds?

[@TheTechne]

I use the regular hammerheads, and really like them. But these are a fair bit better, dinner sound, and much more features. But also twice the price. I haven’t used the pro version.

[@ANTANTANT360]

These or pulse explores?

[@drizzlydr4ke]

I don’t think he reviewed the Sony yet

[@hitkhu]

The Sony Inzone Earbuds are solid gaming earbuds. According to RTINGS it's 30ms latency, which is a decently acceptable value in regards for competitive use. Hopefully you give those earbuds a shot and can possibly provide a comparison

[@AlphaXiro]

Why does mine doesnt nor come with speed nova? Its just said cetra true wireless

[@inspireSKZ]

Tried these and they are get super uncomfortable after like 2 hours of wearing.

[@cellar-door]

you shouldn't really be hearing any delay on videos on bluetooth, provided the app properly delays the playback so that video and audio is synced up. i can't think of any video playback phone app that doesn't do this.

[@leandrocorreia8736]

I haver One question , The RoG Cetra earbuds save the EQ? To use the same EQ on others plateforms?

[@stevenwest2503]

This comment is on the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro headset. Something that no one has said is that you can turn on your Xbox with this headset. I don't about all of them but it dose work with my Xbox series X.

I just got the previous cetra without the dongle will it work with mine?
