The old saying, "Earphones and headphones have to be wired to get the best sound quality.
Today's wireless earphones and headphones have improved sound quality and noise reduction thanks to technological advances.
The delay that bothered us when they first appeared is now almost imperceptible, and wireless is especially convenient for everyday use.
In particular, fully wireless earphones, in which the left and right earphones are not connected by wires, are very popular, and various manufacturers have released a variety of models, many with good performance, so we live in an age in which we can choose the ones we like based on sound trends and design.
And while the makers of gaming devices are also releasing fully wireless earbuds specialized for gaming, which are very popular, ASUS' gaming brand " ROG " has finally announced its first fully wireless earbuds!
Completely wireless with all the features you want!
The first fully wireless gaming earphones under the ROG brand, " ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS ", have been announced this time!
This is a fully wireless version of the highly popular "ROG CETRA" series of gaming earphones.
When choosing earphones, there are many features that you want to have, such as waterproof and noise cancellation, as well as good sound quality.
The "ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS" has all the features you would want in a fully wireless earphone!
First of all, the delay problem is the biggest concern with fully wireless earphones.
This is not only a problem when listening to music or watching videos on a daily basis, but also when playing games, audio delay can be fatal.
ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS" is equipped with a game mode to realize low latency wireless audio.
It can be activated via touch control of the device or the " Armoury Crate " software, which further improves the low-latency connection and synchronization of audio and video, so that rhythm games can be enjoyed without any discomfort.
The earbuds also feature hybrid active noise cancellation ( ANC), which reduces ambient noise. It detects and filters noise both inside and outside the earphones.
This provides an even more immersive experience by reducing ambient noise when listening to your favorite music, watching videos, or playing games.
You can also use only noise canceling without sound to concentrate on reading or other activities.
Battery life is also a concern with fully wireless devices. In the early days of the product, it was good if it lasted for 2 hours.
The "ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS" can last up to 5.5 hours on a full charge with ANC turned off.
In addition, the case can hold up to 21.5 hours of battery charge, so the main unit and case can be used for up to 27 hours on a full charge.
Even if the battery should run out, the fast charging technology allows up to 1.5 hours of use with a 10-minute charge, so even when you are in a hurry, you don't have to worry.
The case can be charged using not only USB Type-C fast charging, but also compatible wireless chargers. It is easy to charge the battery by leaving it in place.
The case is IPX4 drip-proof, so it is safe even in sudden rainy conditions.
Fully wireless earphones are also convenient for jogging and other sports activities, so it is nice not to have to worry about them breaking due to sweat.
Of course, there is no compromise on sound quality.
The 10mm ASUS Essence driver and airtight chamber allow you to enjoy rich, clear mid and high frequencies, as well as powerful bass for a realistic sound.
Playback, stopping, and mode switching can be done by touch operation on the main unit.
It is so convenient that once you get used to it, you will not be able to use any other device that does not support it.
The " Armoury Crate " software is available as an app for iOS andAndroid.
The intuitive UI is easy to use on smartphones and allows for intuitive control of EQ, virtual surround sound, and other functions in game mode.
Release Date and Price
"ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS" will be released on Friday, April 22, 2022 at an open price. The estimated market price is around 17,000 yen.
ROG, which has released many high-performance headsets and earphones, will release its first fully wireless earphones, so the performance is expected to exceed expectations.
