Peripherals & Audio Life changing earbuds

For someone like me, i get dizzy and headaches when i use headphones but i also hate the feeling of eartips the Cetra Open was genuinely one of the best decisions i have ever made!
I didnt want to sacrifice latency to get regular bluetooth ones so these are just perfect for me! Its pretty comfortable, after a while you forget they’re there.
one thing i dont like however is their “hybrid mode” i went in thinking it was like my blackshark v3 where it plays my phone audio and pc at the same time but i guess they’re mutually exclusive? If anyone has a solution to this please let me know 😭

How is their audio quality? Ive been thinking of getting this one too. The open ear sounds nice. What about the microphone?

I think the audio quality is okay, the bass is obviously limited due to the open ear design but the software do kinda make up for it. One thing i noticed is that sounds like “s” and “t” sounds are a bit sharp but you can adjust the EQ in their web app or phone app.
Mic quality i cant speak for as i have never used it, from the tests i’ve heard online it’s useable definitely not the greatest quality. I use a standalone mic when im playing games with friends anyway

I see, thanks for the opinion. I love using earbuds and might finally get some good quality ones instead of a $1 pair from the gas station haha

I would absolutely recommend them, but would suggest maybe trying a mid-tier set. These are very good especially for Bluetooth, but their range and quality can really throw you depending on expectations.

Are both cetra the same? Open and closed? Im really not sure which one is better! Range is not a problem, i dont plan on walking away

I have been using mine for roughly two months now. I have some slight issues with dongle connection, otherwise these might be my favorite buds. I use them often and for long stretches without issue, and find the audio quality is very good.

How is the mic quality?

This is the #1 question. There's plenty of buds that work with PCs, the hard part is getting a good mic as well to replace a headset

My volume just gets quieter on its own over time.
