Ultrawide 8Hz–55kHz Frequency Response
The planar magnetic drivers offer exceptional extension at both ends of the spectrum with minimal distortion for clearer, more refined listening experiences.

Smoother, More Consistent Sound
Planar magnetic diaphragms offer uniform movement, rather than from a single point, to deliver ultra-clean, resonance-free audio with superior clarity and high-fidelity reproduction.

Fast Transient Response
Planar magnetic drivers deliver superior transient response, preserving clarity without lingering effects. This means key in-game audio cues are sharply defined, enabling you to react more quickly.

Precise Left-Right Consistency
Each driver is measured, sorted, and paired to ensure consistent frequency response between earcups, delivering accurate stereo imaging and enhanced immersive gameplay.

Crafted Open-Back Architecture
ROG and HIFIMAN sound engineers conducted detailed acoustic evaluations to create the open-back earcup design, delivering precise spatial awareness through a balance of form and functionality.

Ultrawide Soundstage for Precise Imaging
The open-back design creates an extremely spacious soundstage compared to closed-back ones. The design enhances separation, so you can clearly distinguish different critical cues and react faster.

Full-Band MEMS Boom Microphone
Compared to the standard ECM mics, the Kithara features an on-cable, full-band MEMS boom mic for clear voice capture, delivering an ultrawide 20Hz–20kHz response and higher SNR in a compact form.

Separate Signal Inputs
The detachable cable with microphone uses dedicated wiring for the audio and microphone signals to effectively eliminate crosstalk, ensuring clean, uninterrupted communication.

Broad Compatibility and Plug-and-Play Convenience
The Kithara’s versatility makes it ideal for audiophile or gaming setups. Plus, the headset features 3.5mm jacks on both earcups, allowing users to use their preferred cables for customised sound.

High-Fidelity, Lossless Audio Listening Experience
The headphone cable features swappable 4.4 mm balanced, 6.3 mm, and 3.5 mm single-ended plugs to enable a lossless, high-fidelity listening experience.

Competitive Edge in Gameplay
The dedicated microphone cable uses separate wiring for audio and mic signals, ensuring pristine, uninterrupted in-game communication.

Maximum Compatibility
For broad compatibility across laptops, consoles, and mobile devices, Kithara also includes a USB-C to dual 3.5 mm adaptor, delivering audiophile-grade sound on almost any device.

Premium Build for Durability and Comfort
ROG Kithara is precisely tuned for comfort and acoustic performance, with multiple prototypes tested on a dummy head in an anechoic chamber to ensure exceptional sound without compromising comfort.

Earcup Architecture with ROG aesthetics
The open-back design enhances airflow to reduce listening fatigue, while large oval earcups accommodate different ear shapes. A refined earcup angle balances clamping force and minimises jaw pressure.

Soft, Extended Headband
The headband features a three-layer design to provide lasting comfort. The extended length enhances stability and weight distribution to minimise pressure across the lower cheek.

Sleek, Durable Metal Frame
The headband has eight adjustment levels and an aluminium hinge to ensure a secure, comfortable fit that accommodates different head shapes and sizes.

Two Types of Fit and Acoustics
The Kithara includes a leatherette-with-fabric pad for breathable comfort and more focused sound, along with a velour pad for a softer fit and warmer acoustics.

Intuitive In-line control
Compared to earcup-mounted buttons, dedicated in-line controls on the Kithara enable you to mute or unmute the mic, and adjust volume via a scroll wheel for more intuitive adjustments.
