ASUS ROG announced the Guitar gaming headsetwhich is a device intended to bring “audiophile-grade sound” to play. It was developed in conjunction with manufacturer HiFiMana company specializing in high-end audio devices.

The Kithara is the company’s first open-back planar magnetic gaming headset. ROG says it’s designed to please gamers who “demand absolute clarity, precision and realism.” The headphones feature 100mm planar magnetic drivers that are “tuned specifically for gaming.”

The company says this results in a wide frequency response, low distortion and a “level of detail that reveals subtle positional cues such as footsteps, reloading and distance movement.” ROG boasts that these audio cues remain distinct even during moments of chaotic gameplay, which could make the headphones a great choice for competitive gamers.

The open-back design allows for clear separation of bass, mids and treble, which should also make the headphones great for listening to music. It features a full-band boom microphone with a high signal-to-noise ratio. There are separate signal paths for the audio and microphone inputs, further reducing crosstalk.

The headphones are built for maximum versatility, so there’s a balanced headphone cable with swappable plugs. They support different connection types, including 3.5mm, 4.4mm and 6.3mm. They also ship a USB-C to dual 3.5mm adapter.

These are gaming headphones, so comfort is also a priority. The metal frame has an adjustable fit and has a multi-layer padded headband and two sets of interchangeable ear cushions. The ROG Kithara headphones are available now and cost $300.
