The Audio-Technica ATH-GL3 gaming headset in detail
Audio-Technica is known for its natural sound. What they do with microphones, they continue with gaming headsets. The ATH-GL3 offers some features such as closed hearing acoustics, crystal clear communication or comfort. It not only covers PC users, but also addresses all conventional gaming consoles via a 3.5 mm jack plug.
Create your own space: closed acoustics
45 mm dynamic drivers lock you into your gaming or multimedia world. Studio headphones are supposed to be full of detail, but with the Audio-Technia ATH-GL3 you get the same audio quality in a gaming headset with closed acoustics.
What is closed acoustics good for?
Closed headphones are impermeable to air. This means that they do not output acoustics to the outside. This has the advantage that no one else is disturbed by your audio playback and you can listen to the music playing in peace and quiet.
A tonal difference to the open version is particularly noticeable in the bass. Because the sound remains in a small environment (i.e. the earcups) and does not penetrate outside, the sounds are much stronger. If you like to listen to music or watch movies in addition to gambling, you will be better off with the immersive sound quality of the closed headphones.
Audio and voice: how to customize everything
The gooseneck microphone is flexible and can be removed or replaced at any time. It comes with a hypercardioid as a polar pattern, which ensures that your voice is in the foreground and annoying background noise is filtered. So you will always be clearly understood by your friends. On the left ear cup you can mute your microphone at any time or generally adjust the volume of the playback.
The headset is connected to the PC via a 3.5 mm jack plug. This connector expands compatibility with the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and many more game consoles that support jack plugs. This makes the ATH-GL3 the universal gaming headset for all major platforms.
Comfort for hours
The Audio-Technica ATH-GL3 weighs just 230 grams. With the double bracket and the lightweight support construction through recesses on it, the weight will almost disappear, although it sits firmly on and adapts to your head. The ear cups are large and soft, they embed the weight on faux leather with mesh insert.
Due to the ergonomic design, it also fits well on small heads without anything slipping or jerking.
