We’re now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops ASUS’ ROG Cetra Open Wireless earbuds to $206.99 shipped. This pair was first announced earlier this year in January and then went on sale shortly after in March at $230. Today’s offer marks the first discount we’ve tracked on them, taking $23 off for a 10% markdown. These have been pretty popular among gamers, especially for use with gaming handhelds and even smartphone gaming thanks to the open-ear design and dual-mode wireless connectivity. Today’s deal gets you in for a little less than usual if you’ve been waiting for a price drop on these. Best Buy is also matching Amazon’s $206.99 price right now, so be sure to check them out after getting more details below.
ASUS’ ROG Cetra Open Wireless is built more like a pair of gaming-focused open-ear headphones than traditional earbuds. The hook-style design sits outside your ear canal, which should make them easier to wear for longer stretches while still letting in some of the sound around you. You get both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, so they can handle everyday listening on your phone just as easily as lower-latency gaming on a PC, handheld, or other compatible setup. ASUS is also leaning into the ROG side with its SpeedNova wireless tech, onboard controls, and built-in microphones for calls and in-game chat. The big appeal here is really the combination of an open-ear fit with proper gaming connectivity, giving you something a bit more versatile that would work well with gaming handhelds as well.
