Description

Arising from a deep heritage of Japanese analogue audio, Audio-Technica high- fidelity gaming headsets continue to deliver a purity of sound that’s all too rare in the gaming world. The elemental spirit of air inspires the natural, open-back design of the ATH-GDL3 headset, delivering a spacious, immersive listening experience. And at less than 220 grams, the headset is nearly as light as air, allowing you to game for hours in comfort. Inside the open-back housings are large 45 mm drivers that provide high-resolution audio with exquisite detail. The left earcup has a built-in volume control dial and a mute switch for convenient control of the professional-quality boom microphone. The mic is detachable, as are the two included cables: a 3.0 m (9.8') cable with 3.5 mm (1/8") mic and headphone plugs for connecting to computers, and a 1.2 m (3.9') cable with a 3.5 mm (1/8") TRRS plug for connecting to PS5, Xbox Series X, and other gaming consoles. Compatible with PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, laptops, PCs, and other devices with a standard 3.5 mm TRRS headset connector or with a separate mic input and headphone output.

  • Very comfortable for large heads
Color: White
I have very little experience with gaming headsets... Because my head is too big! However, these sound great to me. I use them with the Turtle Beach Recon controller on my Xbox series X. I switched from the turtle beach recon 500s because I just couldn't wear them for more than like a half hour. The sound is comparable to those regarding what I think I should be hearing in game. I'm really liking the open-back though, sounds much more realistic, less like I'm closed in small room. Now that I have these, I'm not sure why anyone would want closed-back... Unless they're consistently right next to someone else they're trying not to disturb. What I can say is that I was blown away by the comfort of these. Like I said I have a large head (7 7/8" hat size) and large ears as well. These are so light and the clamping force is just enough to hold them in place. You don't feel them on the top of your head at all. I don't even have them adjusted all the way out, that's a first for me. The cushions are soft fabric, much better than hot pleather. Due to the fabric and open-back, these hardly warm up at all. I'm able to wear them for a couple hours with no fatigue. I may start using them for meetings just because they're such a pleasure to have on. They're also beautiful, I got the white version... Which is really white, black, and silver. They actually look like headphones and not flight equipment. Even the packaging is excellent, I held onto the box as it was so impressive. I've had audio technica mics in the past, it's one of those brands that I will pay extra for just because. But these were well worth $130 for me simply for the comfort and style. The sound just needed to work for Halo honestly. ... show more

  • Solid, Lightweight Headset With Good Enough Sound and Mic
Color: White
I splurged on these to replace a few pair of much less expensive Logitech headsets--the G233, and G332. Those were fine, but they seemed too big and bulky and just looked a bit too 'gamer-ish' for my taste. When looking for a replacement, I wanted to go with a true audio company and not just a PC accessory company that happened to make headphones. I narrowed my search down to a pair of JBLs, Bereydynamics, and these Audio Techincas. I've owned several Audio Technica products--including headphones, turntables, and cartridges and loved them all. I opted for these as they reminded me of my white ATH-M50 studio headphones that I bought years ago and have loved ever since. They were more than I wanted to spend, but I told myself if they were anything like my ATH-M50s, they'll last for years and years. Pros: -They look great. The white, black, and steel combine for a really modern, yet classic look. I like headphones that have that traditional circular earcup shape. A lot of current headsets either have an oval/rectangular design or have weird sharp angles and creases throughout the housing. I just am not a big fan of the silhouette those create. -Minimal frills and unneeded bells and whistles. I don't need the weight of added in-line controls, so it's nice that this just has a plain cord. I have enough RGB, so I didn't want any on my headset. -I usually like a leatherette earcup, but these fabric ones have grown on me. They're velvety soft and don't get too hot or itchy. Compared to the cheap, rough, polyester feeling ones that I had on my Logitech G233--it's night and day. -Love that both the cord and the mic are detachable. -They sit very nicely around my ears and create a very tight seal--I don't game for hours and hours on end, but for the hour I usually wear these, they don't create any fatigue or pressure whatsoever. -The sound is great. Certainly not dedicated studio monitor/audiophile quality, but still a welcome upgrade over my previous headsets. I can tell the open-back design adds more depth and immersion to the first/third-person shooter and open-world games I play. For casual music listening, they're solid as well. Not a ton of bass or instrument separation, but certainly serviceable for a listening session. Cons: -The overall build is just...meh. The plastic feels cheaper, lighter, and more hollow than I would have wished for. The fit and finish are great, but for $100+ I hoped for more of a premium material feel. -The plastic also makes a bunch of creaking, crackling, and groaning when handling and adjusting. Not a huge gripe, but every now and then you'll be able to hear it while they're on if you move your head during a quiet portion of a game. -The mic is fine. It's on par with lower-priced headsets I've used. I was expecting a little more clarity than what it provides. -Not really a con, but these definitely are quieter at the same volume as my other headphones. I have to crank my volume up a bit to get to the same level. When I switch back to my PC speakers, I have to remember to turn it back down or it'll give me a bit of a jump scare. -Once again, not really a con, but the way these were packaged, I thought they may have been refurbished or open-box. The packaging had an Audio Technica outer sleeve which was nicely designed, but after removing that it's just plain brown cardboard the rest of the way with the headphones unceremoniously thrown inside. I watched an unboxing video and saw the same thing, so I breathed easier. This seems to be part of their green-packaging initiative, which is fine by me, I was just caught a bit off guard. Overall I'm, pleased with this purchase. If these are in your price range and you're looking for a more traditional headphone look, you won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • THEY WORK WELL FOR WHAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO
Color: White
These open-back gaming headphones from Audio-Technica prioritize a wider sound stage for gaming. They are a bit boosted in the treble range form my knowledge to help make footsteps and other higher-pitched sounds easily noticeable. And they do this very well. In Halo Infinite, I could hear raindrops on the map clearly, in addition to footsteps of course. If you are looking for a gaming headset that gives you the most clarity all-around, this is a great option and are cheaper than other competing open-back headsets. Comfort is great for the simple reason that these headphones are one of the lightest, if not the lightest on the market at 220 grams. No head fatigue from wearing them in my experience. Ear comfort is great as well. These headphones are not made to emphasize explosions with punchy booms, they are about bringing out the details you may easily miss. Well worth the money in my opinion and I hope anyone who purchases these will find it true as well. ... show more

  • Great and comfortable headset -- once it works
Color: Black
Headset arrived without issues, but when i tried it the first time there was a horrible buzzing in the left side like the speaker was blown. So only hours after delivery I requested a replacement. Once the replacement arrived, it worked great from there. I mainly use this for work at home, so long term wear is essential. The headset is light enough I can wear it a full 8 hours without issue. The open back speakers allow me to hear whats going on around me (doorbell, microwave, cat, etc) as well as the person on the call. Only issue is the mic mute switch that sometimes turns on. since its built into the earpiece its not easy to find (or remember). overall a great headset. ... show more
