  • ATH-G1 Thoughts
Model: ATHPG1
I'll state it now, I got these when they were on sale. Plus I was interested in giving Audio Technica a try, so perfect timing. Especially when the previous headset I bought broke, which were cheap as I was waiting to get a better set from my previous set snapping unfortunately. Fist off, I will start with using it on PC. I will say I read some of the negative reviews and noticed things they said when trying them. One was the mic not working or supposedly not working. Well, I ran into the issue of my mic not being detected for sure. So that could have been the problem with them as well. It took awhile, but I somehow got it to detect it. Most likely having it plugged up and restarting the computer helps a lot. Now as for how the mic sounded??? Well, it does have some type of sound pick up or something. For sure it was making noise when I had it standard. However it went away completely when I went into the standard properties settings in windows, clicked enhancement and added a noise suppression. Wasn't there anymore at all for me. It's work I know, so it's your choice if that's a downside for you already as it's always probably going to be there technically. Then there is the fact that the mic is always there and you can't just take it off. The plus side though is that the extended plug gives you plenty of cord, so you can have no worries with that. Next was the sound. Now, I will say this. The standard sound is definitely on the low side. Probably a big negative for many, but the sounds is perfectly fine in my opinion. This is of course coming from someone who watches tons of shows, games for hours and so on though. I'd consider this a bit more of an upgrade from a cheap or standard headset for sure, but not a premium $300 type headset for sure. Of course that doesn't mean some video still won't be loud and destroy your ears on something like Youtube or such. Since all volumes on videos vary, I mean for windows in general. Like if you were to open windows player, music player or anything on your PC. Still, if the sound is an issue then not to worry completely. It's an EASY fix if you mess with the properties settings like with the mic. Just click the loudness Equalization and things will become louder for you. Depending on certain videos though, it may seem lower than if it's off. However, that's just the video. Also if you want to change the sound up, just mess with the Equalizer setting. It really helps to improve how loud the sound is as well. I recommend doing that as it gives such a huge boost in sound loudness. I do keep my volume around 50 to 70 though. Someone did mention one side of their headset started dying on them after having it on 100, from it being so low to them. Also it helps to not blow you ears out from the difference in videos on other sites likes reddit or youtube, as the changes to settings does increase it a lot for those. It would always be low for any video when standard, but changes it to where you'll have it half way or lower. Which is a big improvement compared to my last headset, which always needed more than half on the volume or max all the time. Now, another big question. Is it comfortable? Not as comfortable as I wished, but I don't think I've ever felt comfort from any headset that had leather cups. So do keep that in mind. Still, it is a bit tight for me. However, not as tight as the cheaper set I had before, which did loosen up over time. So maybe these will loosen up over time and they will be perfect after a bit more use. Another question would be do they work for console? Well, yes they do. I have used these on my xbox and they work fine. In fact, the sound is much louder from the standard plug in on PC. So it's a bit odd that it sounder much louder on console initially than on PC. Either way, they sounded perfectly fine. However!!! The mic becomes the problem when playing on console. Remember that sound that is captured on PC? Well you can't get rid of that on console, so it'll always be heard for others on console. If you can mute after talking, then your fine. Which is actually a habit I've had for a long time now, so I have no problems. I'm sure many don't have this habit and probably won't be able to continuously mute. So that'll be the issue for you to consider with this. Before I forget, with the mute switch. I only tired it on console. So I have no idea if it's extremely loud on PC as someone mentioned in a different review. However, when I used it on console. I was told it wasn't that loud. It was just a small noticeable sound that could be heard. It wasn't ear piercing or anything to them. As for the the mic picking up game audio during use, again. No one was able to hear a thing from my side when using it. When it comes to the volume control, I never use it. I keep it maxed out and don't touch it as I've always had bad experiences with them causing issues with my headsets on any headset I've had. Just like I've always had every turtle beach headset break on me after little use, for some odd reason. So, is it a get? If you want to use them as a PC only headset, I see no huge problems with it. All the things I mentioned could easily be solved by messing with the settings and taken away. The only issue would be comfort for you when it comes to using them. I use them all day and I do mean all day, as I have all my previous headsets. I do notice some discomfort though, as it's probably not normal to wear headsets all day. NOW, if you want them for console. I don't strongly recommend them because of the mic. If your gonna mute to talk or not use the mic at all, then go for it. The only issue would be the mic being an annoyance for others after all. Overall, I'd recommend it based on certain factors that depend on your gaming needs really. ... show more

  • Comfortable, great gaming headphones, good listening headphones
Model: ATHPG1
They're fine. The "Premium" is marketing speak. Don't expect ATH-M50s (or even M40s ) plus a mic for this price. They seem to be based on the ATH-PRO5 DJ headphones, both in basic design and driver size (44mm vs 45mm in the M50s, 40mm in the M40s). Keep in mind, these are the PG1s which are the closed-back version, the PDG1s are open-backed and have 40mm drivers. These are super comfortable, even when wearing glasses. I got them to replace a pair of Plantronics Rig 500 Pro's which broke. I thought most gaming headphones in the sub-100 range (and often above) looked silly or were garbage or both. The Plantronics weren't comfortable and I often had to cut my gaming sessions short because my head started to hurt. I can wear these for hours. I used to just use my speakers when gaming solo but now I like to wear these. They are a revelation when playing Rez Infinite. In other games like Fallout 76, footsteps and gunshots are very clear. I've had no complaints from my teammates about these. I don't have the issues others have reported about the remote, the volume and mute controls seem fine. Maybe I got lucky. The mic seems really good, I had to move it away from my face, my voice was so loud on the team. Sound wise, the bass seems boosted (the bass drum in BLACKPINK "As if it's Your Last" is huge), there seems to be a cut somewhere in the mids (low mids?) and I have no complaints about the treble. I wouldn't want to use these for music production but they're good for listening to music, especially on my phone. I really like that you can swap the cords out for gaming and smartphone. These cords have a block on one end that slots into the phones so they're not accidentally pulled out. There is also a really long cable extension with a splitter so you can plug it into the back of your PC. I game on both PS4 and PC so it's nice to have that. The PG1s don't particularly look like gamer phones, more like something from the 80s or 90s and not necessarily in a good way. The gold accents are tacky, the outside of the cans have a piano black plastic middle - piano black is a design trend that should have stayed in the 00s. (These came out in 2014) They're shaped a lot like good old Sony MDR-V6/7506s, except unlike those, these don't fold. I wish they'd gone with a more minimal design like the PRO5s have or a more M50-like design. The ATH-G1s have replaced these and they have a more M50 design, though the G1 headband looks wack and unlike these, the G1 mic detaches but the cord doesn't. These are cheaper and I'm pretty happy with them. ... show more
