Thanks to the short-range communication standard called Bluetooth, our lives have become very convenient. Wireless is now the norm for earphones for listening to music. But what if this is gameplay? Wired earphones are still the mainstream in this area, as “sound delay” is a deadly factor in games. Some game titles say, “We recommend using wired earphones.”
Meanwhile, well-known manufacturers of gaming gadgets are focusing on developing and selling wireless earphones. This time, the product “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS” of ASUS gaming brand Republic of Games has arrived at my hand, so let’s review it.
Play “PUBG Mobile”!
This is ROG’s first wireless earphone. Why is it still wired among gamers when wireless earphones are popular in the world? That’s because, as I wrote at the beginning, there is a delay in the radio.
“Game and sound” can be said to be extremely closely related. For example, in a battle royale shooter game, you have to know “where the enemy is” from the sound. Find out where the footsteps and gunshots are coming from, discover the enemy, and shoot. Basically, in shooter games, the person who finds the enemy first can fight in an overwhelmingly advantageous situation, so if you are familiar with interpersonal FPS / TPS, the “importance of sound” is memorable. Will be understood.
So, this time, let’s connect my Android smartphone to “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS” and play “PUBG Mobile”.
“PUBG Mobile” is a world-class shooter game that requires no explanation. The competition scene is also active, and competitions are held in various places. However, you don’t have to play that hard, and if you have regarding 30 minutes of free time, you can play quickly. Since shooter games are so easy, I would like them to become more popular.
Aside from that, let’s take a closer look at the performance of “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS”. It activates the active noise canceling function and creates an environment where you can completely immerse yourself in the game. The first impression I got from the sound was the “hemispherical space”.
Is it appropriate to write that the sound source spreads in a hemispherical shape around your own head? This is a small dome. You can clearly see where the ringing sound comes from from the sound effects that occur in the game.
Detect the existence of the enemy
The most basic way to find an enemy in PUBG Mobile is “gunshot tracking”. Accurately locate the gunshot that originated from somewhere, without leaving it as “from somewhere”. It is no exaggeration to say that it divides life and death. Also, “hearing a gunshot” means that someone other than yourself is shooting, so hopefully you can defeat other weak players (so-called “fishermen”).
It is very easy to detect such information while you are in the “hemispherical space”. And I didn’t feel any “sound delay” that was a concern with wireless earphones. Of course, as long as it is wireless, there must be a delay, but it is at a level that cannot be detected by human hearing. So, the rest of the win!
No, following all Don wins feel good! I realize once once more that shooter games should be popular as an easy e-sports. And as the distance between the game and the general public gets closer, many wireless gadgets like “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS” should be developed. This product is expected to be distributed in the future as a precursor to the “generalization of e-sports”.
You can also play music games!
By the way, following writing so far, the author has been told by the editorial department, “Please try with Muse Dash next time.”
“Muse Dash” is a so-called “sound game”. This title recommends the use of wired earphones, but it’s not unreasonable. If there is a delay in the sound of the sound game, the play itself will not be established. However, here I will try to see how far I can play using “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS”.
This is the first time for me to play “Muse Dash”, but I was able to play it faster than I expected. No, I’m not good at music games, but … Even so, if you use “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS”, you can press the keys according to the rhythm, and you will not feel the sound deviation that you were worried regarding.
“Muse Dash” is a music game that anyone can enjoy with the keys used suppressed as much as possible. It’s a game that you can easily play without being clumsy, but by using “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS”, you can realize “sound game play like tea time”.
This time, I wrote an article with the content of “Wireless earphones that can be used in games” and actually tried using the product.
There is still a debate regarding whether earphones are wired or wireless when playing games, but at the same time, wireless earphones have evolved over the years in just a few years. In the past, it was a substitute that caused sound deviation even when watching videos, but now it is performing enough to play sound games. “ROG CETRA TRUE WIRELESS”A turning point for establishing wireless gameplayIt is a product that should be called.
