The ASUS ROG Cetra earbuds present themselves as a fairly affordable choice for gamers, particularly those with an ASUS ROG Ally. They normally retail for $99.99 but you can buy these white ASUS ROG Cetra earbuds for $64.99 on Best Buy. This price has also been matched by Amazon, who have yet to offer a better deal on these earbuds since they first became available back in January 2023, according to price-tracking site camelcamelcamel.

While they seem to be a strong value proposition with the $35 discount, some fans aren’t very positive about the earbuds and have taken to Reddit to discuss the Cetra on sale at Best Buy. Here’s what they’re saying.
What fans are saying about ASUS ROG’s Cetra earbuds
One user, downsj2, commented that they purchased ASUS ROG’s Cetra earbuds the last time they were on sale and that they weren’t “impressed by the sound quality or the BT range”. Another user, Realistic-Sands, stated that they “wouldn’t recommend these on the Rog Ally” and that they could be “better with the X but the Bluetooth chip was lacking big time on the Rog Ally on both models leading to poor sound quality and bad mic input”.
Some Redditors have recommended other options like the similarly priced Soundcore P10, or the Baseus AeQur G10, which offer better value, and lag-free audio that “can come through at the same time with discord chat”, according to Capable_Inside_9530.
That being said, they have a 4.1/5 customer rating on Amazon and a 4.3 star rating on Best Buy. You can see in the image above that customers are happy with sound quality, comfort, and price, yet they raise issues with latency, compatibility, and the mic. This makes sense, given the recent comments made above about the Bluetooth chip and microphone.
