Following the recent launch of the ROG Phone 6 Pro, Asus has also introduced a brand new gaming true wireless headset. ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro has a typical stick-like design. However, they have an added advantage as they can be wired for better output.
- ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro Officially Released
- ANC in-ear headphones that turn into wired headphones for enhanced sound
- The price of the ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro is currently unknown
- In-ear headphones will be available in October
The ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro features an active noise cancellation system and 10mm speakers. In addition, the pair of headphones supports SBC, AAC and aptX Bluetooth codecs. Asus promises up to 45ms of wireless latency, which is better than what’s on the Redmi Buds 4 Pro. Users will be able to take advantage of the built-in quad DAC in the online audio optimizer. This results in a frequency response of up to 40 kHz and 32-bit audio resolution.
Audio upgrades are possible since the cable optimizer has a USB-C port to connect to the source. The other tips look like a shallow cone that can hold the earphones, presumably via a magnetic connector. Sadly, there’s no whimsical hyper-colored lighting common to the brand on the earcups and case.

In terms of battery life, the total battery life of ASUS in-ear headphones and charging box is 28 hours. And, with ANC deactivated. On the other hand, by activating the feature, you get up to 18 hours of playback time. Asus hasn’t said whether the earphones will charge while connected to the optimizer.
If you want to buy these headphones, you’ll have to wait a few months. Asus says the ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro will be available in October next year. Pricing for the ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro is unclear. By comparison, the current ROG Cetra True Wireless Earbuds retail for $129.99, and the second-gen USB-C version retails for about $120.
