Large planar drivers that provide an extended dynamic range. Rich set of accessories.
The debut of the 2026 ROG Delta line from the brand Asus is a set of full-size open-back gaming headphones considered to be in the advanced class. They are worth considering for demanding gamers who own powerful gaming-oriented PCs and/or popular consoles, including PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The model is a wired solution but supports various connection options, ranging from a mini-Jack to other connectors (via included adapters), including Jack (6.35 mm) and Pentaconn (4.4 mm), as well as USB-C.
This feature broadens compatibility, allowing the headset to be used with smartphones, tablets, amplifiers, DACs, etc. The Asus ROG Kithara headphones are equipped with large 100-millimeter planar magnetic drivers by HIFIMAN. They provide an extended frequency range of 8 to 55000 Hz, excellent sound detailing with a low level of distortion. The headset transforms into a full-range boom microphone model on a flexible arm, which claims accurate voice capture and additional noise cancellation to reduce distracting background sounds. A special mention should be made of the reliable and comfortable design with headband self-adjustment, rotating ear cups, durable hinges, and a metal frame, along with elegant soft earpads (two pairs are included — made of faux leather with a mesh insert and fabric — velour).

ASUS ROG Kithara Open Back Planar Magnetic Gaming Headset - Black 90YH0470-BHUA00
Redefine to Transcend ROG Kithara is built for gamers who demand true high-fidelity, audiophile-grade sound, powered by HIF... moreIMANs leading acoustic technology. Its open-back acoustic design and ROG-customized HIFIMAN 100mm planar magnetic drivers deliver lifelike audio with sharp, precise detail. Engineered for competitive play, Kithara features an integrated full-band MEMS microphone for clear in-game communication. A balanced headphone cable with swappable plugs, along with a USB-C® adapter, ensures uncompromised audio fidelity and broad compatibility across a wide range of devices. Powered by HIFIMAN ROG teamed up with HIFIMAN, a leader in planar magnetic headphone technology, to deliver audiophile-grade sound for tactical in-game advantages. Combining ROGs unrivaled expertise in competitive gaming and HIFIMANs advanced driver technology, the Kithara delivers high-precision, crystal-clear sound tuned to meet the intense demands of gameplay. Crafted Open-Back Architecture Positional awareness is critical in competitive gaming. ROG sound engineers conducted detailed acoustic evaluations to test angled textures, internal structures, and venting ratios during the development of Kithara. The resulting open-back earcup design delivers precise spatial awareness through a balance of form and functionality. Full-Band MEMS Boom Microphone Unlike traditional audiophile headphones that lack a microphone, the Kithara features an on-cable, full-band MEMS boom mic for crystal-clear voice capture for seamless team comms even in the most intense battles. Compared to the standard ECM mics found in most gaming headsets, MEMS technology delivers an ultrawide 20Hz20kHz response and higher SNR in a compact formensuring clear, natural voice pickup with minimal distortion. Earcup Architecture with ROG aesthetics The open-back design enhances airflow and reduces listening fatigue. Large oval earcups fit various ear shapes and sizes for long-lasting comfort, while the refined earcup angle balances clamping force and minimises pressure against the jaw. A precision-crafted diamond-cut metal plate with ROG detailing completes the look. Soft, Extended Headband The headband features a three-layer design using leatherette, breathable mesh, and memory foam to provide lasting comfort and reduce pressure across the head. The extended length enhances stability and weight distribution to minimise pressure across the lower cheek during marathon gaming sessions. 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. ROG Kithara is carefully tuned to deliver optimal user comfort and acoustic performance. Multiple prototypes were evaluated and tested to ensure every sound is exceptional.
