Asus’ new open earbuds are a wonderful companion for handheld gaming

Asus' Cetra Open Wireless are open-style gaming earbuds that rest outside the ear, letting ambient sound mix with game audio. They feature comfortable design, strong sound with Phantom Bass, and ship with a USB-C 2.4GHz transmitter offering passthrough charging up to 60W, making them ideal for handheld gaming on devices like Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2. While bass is lighter than sealed earbuds, the overall package makes them a standout companion for portable and couch gaming.
