Asus Cetra Open Earbuds Get First Discount to $206.99
Asus Cetra Open gaming earbuds are discounted to $206.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, according to The Verge.
The Cetra Open are distinguished by their open-ear design, with drivers positioned outside the ear so ambient sounds can mix with game audio. While some gamers may prefer fully sealed sound, this benefits those who want to stay aware of their surroundings during play or while listening to podcasts, the reviewer noted.
The earbuds offer respectable battery life and deep customization through a mobile or browser-based app. They ship with a USB-C 2.4GHz transmitter that includes a passthrough charging port supporting up to 60W. This lets users charge their device while playing without giving up a USB-C port for audio, though the port cannot be used for data.
The Cetra Open are compatible with Steam Deck, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Bluetooth-enabled phones. A reflective band is also included to physically link the earbuds behind the neck, improving visibility and stability for runners.
