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.

ASUS ROG Kithara 🎧 | Audiophile headphones for gamers? An honest review
-
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.

(3)Studio-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.

UKRAINE 04/21/2026MoreThe 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.
