ASUS ROG's Latest Creation: A Gaming Headset for the Discerning Audiophile
In a move that promises to shake up the gaming headset market, ASUS ROG has unveiled its latest creation, the Kithara. Developed in tandem with high-end audio specialist HiFiMan, this is not just another gaming headset - it's an audiophile-grade device designed to deliver "absolute clarity, precision and realism" to gamers.
At the heart of the Kithara lies a cutting-edge open-back planar magnetic design, featuring 100mm drivers that have been specifically tuned for gaming. This results in a wide frequency response, low distortion, and a level of detail that reveals subtle positional cues such as footsteps, reloads, and distance movement. For competitive gamers, this means the audio cues remain distinct even during moments of chaotic gameplay.
But what makes the Kithara truly stand out is its open-back design, which allows for clear separation across bass, mids, and treble. This should also make it an excellent choice for music enthusiasts, thanks to its immersive soundstage. The full-band boom microphone features a high signal-to-noise ratio and separate signal paths for audio and microphone inputs, significantly reducing crosstalk.
The Kithara has been built with maximum versatility in mind, featuring a balanced headphone cable with swappable plugs that support various connection types, including 3.5mm, 4.4mm, and 6.3mm. It also comes equipped with a USB-C to dual 3.5mm adapter.
Comfort is also a top priority for the Kithara, thanks to its adjustable metal frame, multi-layer padded headband, and interchangeable ear cushions. With a price tag of $300, the Kithara promises to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience that will satisfy both gamers and audiophiles alike.
The ROG Kithara is now available, poised to revolutionize the world of gaming headsets for those who demand the very best sound quality.
