The best gaming headsets can make or break your immersion, and they should be comfortable enough that you can play all day long. Well, the Asus ROG Cetra Open Wireless do one of those things. At the time of writing, they’re the world’s first and only open earbuds designed for gaming, and thanks to their ear hook design, you can wear them all day long without breaking a sweat.
For stealth-based and dialogue-heavy games, the Cetra Open Wireless are almost perfect, as you can hear footsteps and spoken words loudly and clearly. They also pack good mic performance and long battery life. But are they worth nearly $230? I’m not entirely convinced, especially because they have a niche appeal and both the bass and treble performance proves poor.
