The ROG Kithara is a groundbreaking open-back planar magnetic gaming headset that delivers exceptional spatial performance, imaging, and audio quality without relying on software enhancements.

The ROG Kithara offers excellent audio and extreme comfort, but its high price and complex cable setup may limit its appeal.
