"That is where ROG Kithara comes in. It is ROG's first open-back planar-magnetic gaming headset, developed with HIFIMAN. The collaboration brings 100mm planar drivers into a headset that still has a proper boom mic, in-line controls, and all the plugs you need for PCs, consoles, DACs, and laptops. It treats games like they deserve hi-fi instead of just tolerating them as background noise."
"The planar drivers deliver an 8Hz to 55kHz frequency response with very low distortion, which translates into deep, controlled bass and crisp treble without smearing. The open-back design creates a wider, more natural soundstage, so footsteps, reloads, and distant movement sit in believable positions instead of clustering in your head. It helps both immersion and tactical awareness without needing surround processing that usually just muddies everything."
ROG Kithara pairs 100mm planar-magnetic drivers with an open-back chassis and a proper boom microphone, offering multi-platform connectivity and inline controls. The drivers produce an 8Hz–55kHz response with low distortion, yielding deep controlled bass, crisp treble, and fast transient response. The open-back design provides a wider, natural soundstage that improves spatial placement for footsteps, reloads, and distant movement, aiding immersion and tactical awareness without surround processing. The on-cable MEMS boom microphone captures 20Hz–20kHz with high signal-to-noise, delivering more natural voice reproduction than narrow-band gaming mics. Separate audio and mic signal paths prevent bleed on the dual 3.5mm cable.
