ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova vs Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro

The ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova is the pick for gaming, especially on PlayStation, because of its 2.4 GHz low-latency link, Dirac Opteo spatial audio and bone-conduction AI mics. The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro is the better everyday earbud: stronger adaptive ANC, LDAC, a titanium-coated tweeter and a 10.5 mm bass driver. Build is plastic on both, but the Cetra's IP rating and 46-hour total battery suit long sessions, while the Liberty 4 Pro's IPX5 and 7.5-hour ANC runtime suit commutes and workouts. Owners rate both 4.4 out of 5, so the choice comes down to gaming latency versus all-round audio and noise cancelling.

• Choose the ROG Cetra True Wireless SpeedNova if you game on PS5 or PS4 and want a low-latency 2.4 GHz connection, spatial audio and a long 46-hour total battery.
• Choose the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro if you want the stronger adaptive noise cancelling, LDAC hi-res audio and a balanced two-driver sound for music and calls.
