FIRST YOU SHOULD KNOW: I got these for casual gaming on my ROG Ally and I love them.
LATENCY: with gaming mode is hardly noticeable, I mean I can't even tell. It's like Ray tracing. If I go looking for it I'll find the latency, if I'm just casually gaming I don't notice it. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND these if you intend to play competitively, obviously you want all wired for competition.
QUALITY: Far as I can tell, quality is awesome, bass is solid. I've always noticed Asus ROG puts some good sound quality in their devices (I've owned the zephyrus g14 before, those speakers and the Ally speakers are noticeably better than competitions)
BATTERY LIFE: as I've stated I'm casually gaming. Longest session I had was a bit over an hour and the battery life went from 80% to 60% ish
HANDLING: Using those touch sensors is no big deal. My ONLY COMPLAINT is the voice that says what mode you're in? It sounds like they recorded it in a kitchen with an iphone mic. ALSO CHANGING EARBUD SIZES IS AN ABSOLUTE PAIN
BUT
they are firm when they're finally on.
ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING: Mine also came with a defect, ANC doesn't work on the left earbud, just makes a weird hissing noise. Nothing I've thought of to try has fixed the issue, I'm returning these for another. I'll update for ANC when I get the new set.
UPDATE: The ANC works well, it's not Bose quality but it helps eliminate distracting noise, and I'm not sure why there's low and high ANC? I'm only going to use high ANC, ambient, or off, so switching from one to another I'll encounter "Low noise cancelling" roll my eyes and switch again. The ambient mode is nice too for when I go to the store wanting to listen to punk rock or play games on break at work. I'll add another star since the new set works as intended.
SO: I love it! At most I can get a few hours of solid gaming with no wires attached and I love that. The only other defect I find is when I played Halo MCC. Best way I can describe it is it goes from being normal to big echo-y room and crap quality. Doesn't happen everytime but sometimes.
Hopefully the new ones coming in won't be as defected.

The reasons why I chose to use threse Wireless Gaming Earbuds

Good, but clunky (and with a sad ending)
Let's start with the positives:+The earbuds look great and sound impressive for an earbud, even competitive with my pulse elite headset.+Bass is punchy without being overpowering, and the general audio quality is clear specially when enabling DIRAC (however, when using them as 2-way communication - sound output and microphone - the audio fidelity takes a big hit).+ The dongle works very well, connection to my ps5 and pc was easy and fast.+ You can edit the equalizer using an app which is convenient.+The ANC can be pretty effective against ambient noise. It's not headphone quality, but again I was surprised considering the size.+ they charge back up extremely quickly in the case.Overall, very solid.However, I also found many negatives:- While the connection is stable, the audio would occasionally become very echoey and this would not change until disconnected and reconnected (putting them back on the case).- The touch interface is not very intuitive, and it's easy to touch unintentionally. The touch inputs also cannot be edited. So, you're stuck touching your right ear 4 times if you want to raise the volume.- Overall, there's not a lot of guidance on the usage of the device, neither in the manual nor the app.- I couldn't get the dongle and Bluetooth connections to play together. Once the dongle is plugged in, the Bluetooth is entirely overwritten. This means you can't receive calls unless you unplug the dongle, even if both your phone and the dongle are connected. I am not sure if this is just not supported or if it's just something my setup (again hard to find troubleshooting about the product).I also found that the battery life was quite inconsistent. While using the dongle on the ps5 with leds off and no ANC they could last from 4 to 7 hours, and each earbud could have significantly different battery life too (sometimes even 20% charge left in one earbud when both started from full charge at the same time). This may be a standard with gaming earbuds though, I have no point of comparison.I find the fit to be MOSTLY stable. However, because of the "dangly" design, they can slide off your ear.I found they got occasionally looser on my right ear, and this led to the final sad part:About 2 weeks after buying them I was walking back to my car from the grocery store - hands busy, when the right earbud fell off my ear and (of course it would) bounced a little in front of me. Before I realized where it went, I stepped on it and cracked it, fully killing it.I tried contacting Asus support, and they said there was no repair, replacement, buy-in/trade in or anything I could do.It's done.I understand this was my fault, but it's also quite frustrating that the only way to repair them would be buying a complete new set.I CAN use only the left one, but the features are extremely limited (especially since the controls cannot be changed).All in all, the ASUS ROG CETRA SPEEDNOVA are okay earbuds, but everything around them feels a little disappointing.
