Ngiyakwazi ukuzwa umsindo wegeyimu ngevolumu efanelekile futhi ngihlale ngixhumekile ngokuzwa yonke ingxenye yengxoxo yethu, esikhundleni sokukhipha i-earbud bese ngibuza, "Utheni?"
Ikesi elinzima lishaja nge-USB-C (ayinakho ukushajwa okungenantambo) futhi ingashaja ama-earbud izikhathi eziningi ngaphambi kokuphelelwa amandla. U-Asus uthi ama-buds angahlala amahora angu-16 ngenkokhiso ngayinye kumodi ye-Bluetooth nama-RGB LED nama-mics avaliwe (okumbalwa kumodi ye-2.4GHz, ekhiqiza cishe amahora angu-10 ngenkokhiso ngayinye ekuhlolweni kwami). Kudingeka ngikhokhise icala kabili kuphela ngenkathi ngihlola, futhi ama-buds ngokwawo ashaja ngokushesha okukhulu.

I-Cetra Open iyaziqhayisa ngoxhumo lwamaphoyinti amaningi, futhi, ikuvumela ukuthi uxhume kumadivayisi amabili e-Bluetooth ngesikhathi esisodwa noma kudivayisi eyodwa ye-Bluetooth ngenkathi uxhumeke kusidlulisi sayo esingu-2.4GHz. Ukushintsha phakathi kwemithombo ngokuvamile akunazihibe futhi akudingi izinkinobho, nakuba ukulalela ngemithombo yomsindo emibili ngesikhathi esisodwa akusekelwa.
I-Asus inikeza izindlela eziningi zokulungisa izilungiselelo ze-earbud uma uxhumeke kusidluliseli se-USB-C. Efonini yakho, ungalanda uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Armory Crate ukuze ungene ezinkethweni. Ku-PC, ungasebenzisa isayithi ye-Gear Link esekelwe kusiphequluli - akukho ukulanda okudingekayo. Kokubili kukuvumela ukuthi wenze ngokwezifiso izilungiselelo eziningi zomsindo nemakrofoni, kanye nokukhanya nemiphumela yokukhanyisa. Ungakwazi futhi ukushintsha okwenzekayo lapho ucindezela inkinobho ngayinye efakwe phezulu ye-earbud (imiyalo yangokwezifiso ingasethelwa ukucindezela okukodwa, okukabili, okukathathu, nokukane). Ungashintsha nokwaziswa komsindo phakathi kwesiNgisi nesiShayina, noma ukusethe ukuthi kudlale imisindo esikhundleni sezwi elirekhodiwe.
Ama-earbud amakhulu angenawaya wegeyimu asevele ekhona ngaphambi kwe-Cetra Open.
