My favorite gaming earbuds got their first discount

Asus' Cetra Open wireless earbuds are among the top performers I have tested, despite their open-style design. The drivers are positioned outside of the ear, allowing external sounds to blend with the audio from your gaming console or device. Some gamers may prefer the opposite, as it allows them to stay aware of their surroundings while playing or listening to podcasts.

These earbuds are currently available at a discounted price of $206.99, down from their original price of $229.99, across multiple retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Asus.

In addition to their excellent sound quality and impressive battery life, the Cetra Open earbuds come equipped with a USB-C 2.4GHz transmitter that has a built-in port for passthrough charging. This means you can charge your earbuds while using them, eliminating the need to sacrifice a USB-C port for audio purposes. The built-in port supports a maximum of 60W of passthrough charging, but it cannot be utilized as a data port.

The Asus Cetra Open Wireless earbuds are well-suited for various gaming platforms, such as the Steam Deck, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5, as well as for use with smartphones. Connecting them via Bluetooth is a simple process, and they are perfect for enjoying music and podcasts. Additionally, a reflective band is included with the earbuds to help keep them securely together behind your neck, providing improved visibility and stability for those who choose to jog or exercise while using them.
