Packaging and Accessories

The ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova ships in a relatively compact box, which is the norm for TWS earphones today. It goes for the expected black and red ROG colors with plenty of renders and features mentioned all around. On the front is the brand logo and product name with the earphones in black showing we have the black color version here. Specifications and a list of contents are seen on the back and side, where we also see the box is split diagonally with a seal helping keep the contents in place. Open the box to reveal a typical stylish ASUS ROG presentation, including more of that brand logo you will continue to see and a QR code to help register the device. The IEMs are placed inside the case already, which in turn comes surrounded by a paper wrap and thicker cardboard for added protection.


The bottom layer has some paperwork, including a quick start guide (online version here) going over the setup, pre-programmed functions and controls, and further customization support including the mobile app. The other accessories come neatly packed in a cardboard box and here we see the expected short USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable and two sets of ear tips, with the third (size M) already installed on the earphones. I removed them so you could see the three sets (sizes S/M/L) of single-flange silicone ear tips together—it would have been nice to see more tip options though. Given these support 2.4 GHz connectivity also, ASUS also provides a pre-paired USB dongle that uses its "SpeedNova" wireless connection technology. It's larger than usual for such dongles, but does allow for multiple devices to be connected at the same time. Given it fits into a Type-C port for use with mobile devices too, ASUS also includes a Type-C to Type-A adapter for use with desktops and laptops.
