The overall trend for gaming headsets and earbuds is mostly for them to offer as much opportunity as possible to shut out the wider world, thanks to closed-back designs and active noise canceling (ANC). Some over-ear headsets offer a sound-transparent open-back design, but these are generally big and bulky, meant for at-desk use only. Enter the Asus ROG Cetra Open Wireless. These intriguing new gaming earbuds take on the likes of the Beats Powerbeats and JBL Endurance by offering a secure fit that’s ideal for sport, while also providing an open-back sound so you can hear what’s going on around you. As these are a contender for the best gaming headset, as well as the best sports earbud, the Asus ROG Cetra also includes a USB-C dongle with a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection, as well as Bluetooth, so you can connect these to your PC for at-home listening, as well as take them down to your local ball court/bowling rink/skate park/curling arena… Read on below to find out just where the do and don’t hit the target.

 Hear your teammates both in-game and IRL thanks to the open design of these compact and secure-fitting gaming earbuds from Asus.  PCGamesN
