ASUS Japan, Ltd. has announced the "ROG Cetra", a USB Type-C connected gaming earphone with active noise cancellation.
Loaded Active Noise Cancellation Technology and forcus on your game
"ROG Cetra" is equipped with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology developed in partnership with Sony.
The superior noise canceling performance blocks noise and delivers only sound to your ears, even in crowded city streets and trains.
An "ambient mode" allows users to instantly turn off noise cancellation at the touch of a button.
When you want to listen to train or airport announcements, or when someone calls out to you, you can hear the sounds around you without removing the "ROG Cetra".
Powerful high-resolution sound
"ROG Cetra" uses a dedicated 10mm ASUS Essence driver designed with a wide frequency response of 20-40kHz to deliver powerful bass and optimized gaming sound.
Combined with the noise canceling function, users can enjoy high quality sound in a variety of situations, such as playing games, music, and watching videos, without worrying about surrounding noise.
Convenience and attention to details
The ROG Cetra uses a USB Type-C connector instead of a 3.5mm connector.
It can be directly connected to not only PCs, Nintendo Switch, and other devices, but also to recent smartphones without earphone jacks, without using a conversion connector.
An in-line control is installed in the cable section, allowing one-touch operation of volume up/down (①③), playback/pause (②), and switching between active noise cancellation mode and ambient mode (④).
A travel case is included to safely carry not only the "ROG Cetra" but also replacement ear tips and ear fins.
The ear tips and ear fins come in three sizes to provide an excellent fit for any user.
The earbuds feature a subtle red ROG logo, which adds to the "ROG Cetra" presence.
Software for fine-tuning settings
"ROG Cetra" is compatible with "Armory II Software".
It is easy to create profiles for volume balance, EQ, and other settings to suit the game and scene.
Release date and price
"ROG Cetra" will be released on Friday, January 24, 2020. The price is open price.
Many people are not fond of headsets and prefer earphones, so this is a long-awaited product for those who have been waiting for high-quality earphones for gaming.
Compatibility is described on the "ROG Cetra" product page, so please make sure that your smartphone is compatible with the product before purchasing.
