ASUS has introduced the ROG Open Wireless (OWS) gaming earbuds, designed to balance comfort, low-latency performance, and everyday usability. These earbuds feature an open-ear design, allowing users to stay aware of their surroundings while listening, making them suitable for both gaming and daily use. The ergonomic ear-hook structure ensures a secure fit without putting pressure on the ear canal, enabling longer usage sessions without fatigue.

Launch and Availability

The ROG Open Wireless (OWS) earbuds have been introduced in China and are currently available via JD.com. They are priced at 1399 yuan, with an introductory launch price of 1199 yuan. ASUS is expected to expand availability to more regions through its official retail channels in the coming months.

Connectivity and Gaming Performance

The earbuds support dual-mode connectivity, including Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless via a USB-C dongle. This allows seamless switching between devices and even simultaneous dual-device connections. ASUS has integrated its SpeedNova wireless technology, delivering ultra-low latency, up to six times lower than standard Bluetooth. This ensures faster audio transmission and better synchronization, helping users react quickly in competitive gaming scenarios with accurate positional sound.

Audio and Microphone System

Equipped with a 14.2mm diamond-like carbon-coated driver, the earbuds deliver clear highs, deep bass, and low distortion. Multiple sound modes, including bass enhancement and immersive modes, allow users to customize audio based on their preferences. The quad-microphone array with AI noise cancellation enhances voice clarity, improving both call quality and in-game communication.

Battery, Durability, and Additional Features

The earbuds offer up to 16 hours of usage on a single charge, with total battery life extending up to 48–64 hours with the charging case. Fast charging support provides around three hours of playback with just 15 minutes of charging. With an IPX5 rating, the earbuds are resistant to sweat and light splashes. Additional features such as USB-C pass-through charging and an extended connector design improve convenience, especially for users using devices with thicker protective cases.
