Corsair VIRTUOSO PRO
ASUS ROG Kithara
The Corsair VIRTUOSO PRO and ASUS ROG Kithara are both passive, open-back, wired gaming headsets. The ASUS feature planar magnetic drivers, while the Corsair has dynamic drivers. In terms of tuning, the Corsair pile on plenty of bass energy (perhaps too much), which runs the risk of muddying the mids and masking important sound cues in competitive titles. On the other hand, the ASUS's flat tuning means gamers hoping to enjoy an immersive RPG may find that the lack of low-bass energy leaves explosions and cinematic cutscenes underwhelming. They also trade blows elsewhere: the Corsair come with a hard carrying case, while the ASUS are more comfortable and features extra connector adapters.
