The ASUS ROG Kithara doesn't look like any other gaming headset I've tried in the past, and is essentially an audiophile-style open-back set of headphones that happen to also ship with a boom mic and a pile of cables so you can use it for gaming. The vented design reminded me straight away of the rear of the Xbox Ally X, which is pretty neat.
Going into this review, I was pretty sceptical, it looks awkward on my head for one, and is also very expensive at $299.99 for something that is wired only. That said, after using it for a few weeks now, it's grown on me immensely, and its unique style only adds to the character for me. Despite my initial qualms on it being so different from my usual choices, I've ended up loving it.
