ASUS isn’t short on gaming headsets, but the ROG Kithara feels like something a little different. Developed in collaboration with HiFiMan and built around large 100mm planar magnetic drivers, it aims to blur the line between traditional gaming headsets and more studio-focused audiophile headphones.
Priced at £284.99 in the UK, the Kithara sits firmly in premium territory, promising detailed, spacious sound for both competitive gaming and music listening. Does it justify the price?
