ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova In-Ear Gaming Headphones - Black

The fundamental problem with true wireless gaming headphones is latency — Bluetooth introduces enough delay to make gunshots feel disconnected from what you're seeing on screen. The ROG Cetra SpeedNova sidesteps this entirely by pairing with a USB-C dongle using ASUS's SpeedNova 2.4 GHz wireless technology, delivering sub-30ms latency that's genuinely usable for competitive play. That dongle also works with phones and Nintendo Switch directly, making this a rare set of earbuds that travels meaningfully between your gaming PC and your commute without compromising either use case.

Who Is This For?

This is aimed squarely at the PC or mobile gamer who finds full-size headsets uncomfortable during long sessions but refuses to accept the lag penalties of standard Bluetooth earbuds. If you play anything where audio timing matters — tactical shooters, rhythm games, fast-paced action titles — the low-latency dongle connection makes a tangible difference. If you primarily want earbuds for music and podcasts with no gaming involved, there are more acoustically refined options at this price point.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the dongle connection's reliability and the comfort of the ear tip selection, which accommodates longer sessions better than most in-ear competitors. The ANC performs well enough for open-plan environments. The most common criticism is battery life — around five to six hours per charge is below average for this category, and the charging case itself doesn't offer as many top-ups as rivals at similar prices, which becomes noticeable on travel days.

The Deal

At £99.99 against a current saving of £75.00, this is a significant reduction, but the price history here warrants a little scrutiny — the tracked lowest-ever price is £158.99, and the average sits at £164.99, meaning this £99.99 figure sits meaningfully below anything previously recorded for this product. That makes it a genuinely unusual price, not a recycled fake discount. If the battery limitation doesn't put you off, this is the moment to buy.
