ASUS released a new audio device with its latest series of ROG phones titled the 'ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro' earbuds. These earbuds have a number of unique features, including the ability to transform into a wired pair of earbuds for lower output latency.
The ROG Cetra True Wireless Pro earbuds follow in the current wireless earbud trend of implementing quad DAC support for audiophiles who are unsatisfied with purely digital audio sources. In terms of its audio quality, these earbuds output up to 24-bit, 96kHz audio bands, making the quality comparable to listening on a physical CD.
When the earbuds are switched from wireless to wired mode, the audio output latency is effectively removed, and the earbuds gain ANC support. It is still very uncommon to see wireless earbuds with ANC support while in wireless mode, so the inclusion of wired mode is a welcome change for the ROG Cetra.
