These studio-grade headphones deliver comfort, clarity and wide compatibility, but the Kithara may be lost on those who care more about features and wireless convenience than stellar sound.

Hardware-Helden: Gold
In our opinion, with the ROG Kithara, ASUS has a real hidden gem of a gaming headset in its lineup—and all without any RGB bells and whistles or bloated software.

ROG Kithara headsets - what does open back mean?
-
We tried headsets from ASUS ROG
-
The ASUS ROG Kithara is one of the most unusual gaming headsets on the market. Instead of a typical gaming approach, it uses an open-back design and 100-millimeter planar magnetic drivers developed in collaboration with HiFiMAN, resulting in sound that isn't in the realm of gaming headsets, but rather serious audiophile hi-fi headphones.
-
Detailed, balanced, and rich sound suitable for gaming, mixing, and listening to music. The open-back design provides precise spatial audio and an excellent stereo image, all accompanied by high build quality.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 07/04/2026MoreStudio-grade sound quality, with a precise and well-balanced sound. Excellent materials and solid build quality. A wide soundstage and accurate imaging for an immersive listening experience. Flaws? None to speak of.

ITALY 04/14/2026MoreThe ROG Kithara is the most logical choice for gamers with a high-quality desktop audio setup who want a single device instead of separate headphones and a headset.

UKRAINE 04/21/2026MoreThe Kithara is very impressive. ASUS simply decided to show what it can do... and it's clear they can do a lot. We believe the headset will convince even highly demanding gamers, including pros, and I also personally appreciate the strictly "non-gaming" use – namely the fantastic quality in which the headphones playback music.

CZECH REPUBLIC 05/05/2026MoreThe Asus ROG Kithara is a product with dual uses. On one hand, it's a high-quality headset, but it can also be easily used for high-quality music listening. This is quite unique because gaming headphones almost always reproduce music with certain, let's say, compromises. Here, it’s the opposite. Anyone who wants to hear game audio exactly as intended will get it here without compromise. The same applies to music.
