Don't buy the ROG Cetra for your phone!

In case anyone's still planning on buying it, DON'T! I own a pair and have been using them for months but now i just can't anymore. I can definitely confirm the sound quality is excellent but power consumption for the earbuds, however, is unreasonably high. When connected to your phone, your battery will drain almost twice as fast. So much for 6000 mAh! And now you probably might be thinking "it has Active Noise-Cancelling, of course the earbuds will use more battery" guess what, even with ANC disabled, power consumption is still the same! There is no hope for these earbuds. You can buy them but you'll be better off using them on your laptop that's on wall power or if you must use them on your phone, you'll have to use them while on bypass-charging and that means 2 annoying cables connected to your phone. 144 hz/90 fps PUBGM+CETRA earbuds = kiss your battery goodbye.

Wait, wired earphones consume power?
I didn't know that.

Of course any wired earphones will consume battery because they dont have their own source of power but its so minimal that you wont even notice it but according to @Craven thats not the thing here and cetra is consuming so much more energy than any other earphone (even with ANC off) which makes it not usable for long periods
