[Accessories] ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova FAQ
1.Does the ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova support Apple iPhone 15 and gaming consoles like PlayStation, Nintendo Switch or Xbox?
In Bluetooth mode, the headphones support Apple iPhone 15 and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, you can use the Cetra True Wireless with above devices and PlayStation 4 & 5 in 2.4 GHz mode. However, neither connectivity option supports compatibility with Xbox.
2.Are the headphones using the new Qualcomm solution?
No, the ROG Cetra True Wireless Speednova does not use a Qualcomm chip. Instead, we utilize the latest high-performance chip from a leading audio IC maker. This solution ensures that our headphones deliver exceptional performance in latency, ANC and power efficiency for an outstanding audio experience.
3.What is the benefit for Hybrid multipoint connection?
You can connect to your PC using the 2.4 GHz dongle for gaming while simultaneously pairing with your phone via Bluetooth. When your phone receives a call, the headphones seamlessly switch to the call, and after the conversation, they automatically revert to your PC.
Alternatively, if you’re gaming on your phone and enjoy music on PC, you can answer a call on your phone effortless. Post-call, the earbuds smoothly switch back to your PC as the last audio source, ensuring a convenient and uninterrupted user experience.

Simply press the right earbud once to mute or unmute the microphone. While the microphone mute status cannot be synchronized with communication software, the function still works seamlessly.
