Our take on the ATHGL3 High Fidelity Closed Back Gaming Headset

The ATH-GL3 is Audio-Technica's wired, closed-back gaming headset built around 45 mm drivers tuned for high-resolution detail. It weighs under 230 grams and has a detachable boom mic plus on-earcup volume dial and mute switch. Two cables are included: a long 3.5 mm dual-plug cable for PC and a short TRRS cable for consoles. It suits gamers who want clean stereo sound and a light fit more than virtual surround or wireless freedom, and it competes with wired headsets from SteelSeries and HyperX on audio quality rather than software features.
