I-Asus Cetra Vula ii-earbuds ezingenazingcingo
Indawo yokuthenga: $229.99 eAmazon $229.99 e-Newegg $229.99 eAsus Phambi kokuba ndiqalise ukuvavanya i-Cetra Open, ndichithe ixesha lam elininzi nditshintshana phakathi kwe-SteelSeries Arctis Buds kunye ne-Sony InZone Buds ngelixa ndidlala, zombini ezi ziza nokucinywa kwengxolo esebenzayo, i-snug fit, isandi esilungileyo, kunye nezidluliseli ze-USB-C ezinobungakanani obahlukeneyo ezenza ukumamela imidlalo kwiDekhi yam yeSteam kunye neNintendo Shintsha i-2 impepho. Nangona kunjalo, andizange ndicinge ngokubuyela emva kokuba ndiqalise ukusebenzisa i-Cetra Open ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi. Kudala ndidlala iSilent Hill F kunye ne-Esoteric Ebb kwiDekhi yam yeSteam ngaphandle kokuziva ngathi ndiphoswe kuyilo lwabo olumangalisayo lwesandi. Basebenza kakhulu ngePlayStation 5 yam, nayo.
Ndicinga ukuba iinkampani ezininzi zinqwenela ukuba zibe zezokuqala ukwenza isidluliseli se-USB-C epakishwe nguAsus ngeCetra Open, njengoko ibanyusela kwigajethi ekufuneka ibe yeyakho ukuba udlala imidlalo emininzi kwizandla ezinje ngeSwitch 2 okanye iSteam Deck. Umthumeli unemida, nangona kunjalo, njengokuvumela kuphela ukudlula kwamandla - hayi ividiyo okanye idatha. Isithethi sika-Asus uKatie Grayum kutshanje uxelele I-Verge ukuba ixhasa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-60W indlela enye yokutshaja, leyo, ngombulelo, ingaphezulu kokwaneleyo kwi-handheld yemidlalo yanamhlanje.
Isandi-nobulumko, i-Cetra Open ihambisa ukusebenza okugcwele umzimba kunye ne-bass eyomeleleyo emangalisayo kunye ne-mids enkosi kwinqaku le-Asus 'Phantom Bass (lihlala ngokuzenzekelayo). Ndizisebenzisa kakhulu ngexesha lomsebenzi wam ukumamela umculo, kodwa ndiyakonwabela ukuzisebenzisa kakhulu xa ndidlala ebusuku esofeni kufutshane nomfazi wam njengoko efunda. Ndiyakwazi ukuva isandi somdlalo ngevolumu efanelekileyo kwaye ndihlale ndiqhagamshelwe ngokuva yonke incoko yethu, endaweni yokukhupha i-earbud ndibuze, "Utheni?"
Iintlawulo zetyala ezinzima nge-USB-C (ayinakutshaja ngaphandle kwamacingo) kwaye inokutshaja ii-earbuds kaninzi ngaphambi kokuphelelwa ngamandla. U-Asus uthi i-buds inokuhlala ukuya kwiiyure ze-16 ngentlawulo kwimowudi ye-Bluetooth kunye ne-RGB LEDs kunye ne-mics off (embalwa kwimodi ye-2.4GHz, evelisa malunga neeyure ze-10 ngentlawulo kuvavanyo lwam). Kuye kwafuneka ndihlawulise ityala kabini kuphela ngelixa ndivavanya, kwaye i-buds ngokwayo ihlawulisa ngokukhawuleza. Ndikwazile ukuwathatha ukusuka kwi-70 yepesenti umthamo ukuya kuhlawuliswa ngokupheleleyo ngaphantsi kwemizuzu engama-20.
I-Cetra Open iqhayiya ngokuqhagamshelwa kwe-multipoint, nayo, ikuvumela ukuba uqhagamshele kwizixhobo ezibini zeBluetooth ngaxeshanye okanye kwisixhobo esinye seBluetooth ngelixa uqhagamshelwe kwisidlulisi sayo se-2.4GHz. Ukutshintsha phakathi kwemithombo ubukhulu becala akunamthungo kwaye akufuni maqhosha, nangona ukumamela ngemithombo yomsindo emibini ngaxeshanye akuxhaswanga.
I-Asus ibonelela ngeendlela ezininzi zokulungelelanisa useto lwe-earbud xa uqhagamshelwe kwisidluliseli se-USB-C. Kwifowuni yakho, unokukhuphela i-Armory Crate app ukuze ungene kwizinto onokukhetha kuzo. KwiPC, unokusebenzisa indawo yayo esekwe kwisikhangeli seGear Link - akukho khuphelo lufunekayo. Zombini zikuvumela ukuba wenze ngokwezifiso iisethingi zeaudio kunye ne-mic, kunye nokuqaqamba kunye neziphumo zokukhanyisa. Ungatshintsha kwakhona okwenzekayo xa ucofa iqhosha ngalinye le-earbud elinyuswe phezulu (imiyalelo yesiko inokusetwa kucofa olunye, oluphindwe kabini, oluphindwe kathathu, kunye nolune). Unokutshintshela iimpembelelo zeaudio phakathi kwesiNgesi nesiTshayina, okanye usete ukuba idlale izandi endaweni yelizwi elirekhodiweyo.
Ii-earbuds ezinkulu ezingenazingcingo zomdlalo sele zikhona phambi kweCetra Open. I-InZone Buds kunye ne-Arctis Buds lolona khetho lungcono ukuba uzixabisile ii-earbuds ezilingana kakuhle kunye nokucinywa kwengxolo esebenzayo. Nangona kunjalo,Ii-earbuds ezintsha zika-Asus ziseti entle ngezizathu ezahlukeneyo. Bakhululekile kwaye ababodwa, kwaye isidluliseli sabo se-USB-C sikunika ukuguquguquka ngakumbi ekuhlawuleni igajethi yakho ngelixa udlala.
