## 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 power of earth inspires the grounded, closed-back design of the ATH-GL3 headset, making you hear and feel every moment – of a game, a song, a conversation – for a truly immersive experience. But don’t mistake grounded for heavy. At less than 230 grams, the ATH-GL3 is extremely lightweight, allowing you to game for hours in comfort. Inside the closed-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.

Review: Supero mis expectativas - Para el precio tiene una excelente calidad de sonido, algo plano pero con un equalizador o amp, esta perfecto. calidad buena a pesar de que se sienten ligeros, muy muy comodos y el microfono excepcional realmente, tomo clases, hago streams y llamadas.. Algo infravalorado en desertcart para lo que da
Review: Great sounding headset for office work - I used to use Philips H9505 ANC headphones in the office. Loved them but headband broke and I couldn't find replacement for a long time... I'm very picky about sound quality so numerous popular Sony, Bose, JBL ANC headphones just didn't sound good to me especially for the price... Finally totally accidentally I bumped into the Audio-Technica ATH-GL3 review and decided to give them a try. Love them so far: Pros: - Great sound - clean and airy - great for all kinds of music. IMO these sound better than most ANC headphones which are 3 times more expensive... - Good ergonomics - headset is very light and fits perfectly on my (large) head. - Closed design - isolates well in the office environment, once I turn on the music I cannot hear anything else. Doesn't leak sound. - Microphone doesn't pick other conversations going on in the same office (...I have some very loud coworkers...) - Two cables included - long one with 2 connectors and a short one with single connector. Cables have flat surface (not braided) so they don't produce a sound when touching clothing/table. - Wired - don't need to charge anything/anytime, reliable connection. Cons: - Microphone is not foldable into the headset (to hide it when you don't need it) - Connector on the headphones looks wider than standard 3.5mm - not sure how easy to find replacement Notes: - The headphones have high sensitivity/low impedance so they don't require a headphone amp - you can plug them directly into PC/Notebook using the supplied cables and they sound loud and great... - I actually ended up buying a small/cheap headphone DAC/amp (Fosi) and plugging the headset into it. The amp has analog Bass/Treble tone control knobs which allows me to tune sound quality to my taste for different records. And yep those simple analog tone control blocks are IMO by far better than any software equalizers... Total cost of the headset with the amp is still about 1.5-2 times less than most popular Sony/Bose headphones and the sound is better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this - it doesn't have ground loop issues.
*by C***G on 25 April 2025*

This is one of the precious few unpowered 2.5mm headsets with a boom microphone on the market which doesn't have a shared ground between the microphone and the earpieces. For that reason alone, it's deserving of your business. The TRS jack integrated into the left earpiece is a TRRRS which has a true five-conductor setup in order to separate the grounds between the microphone and earpieces as long as you use the cable (provided by the manufacturer) which terminates in separated 2.5mm TRS connectors. This will avoid audio hopping from your earpieces into your microphone due to ground looping, but only if you avoid using the second cable provided with the headset. The sound quality is great, as should be expected from this brand, but there are a couple notable caveats: - First, the microphone will pick up some background noise and some loud high-pitch sound can physically carry between the left earpiece and the microphone if it's loud enough. - Second, the construction of the left earpiece does have some plastic pop/crack noises as you tilt your head between your shoulders. That's caused by the TRS jack being pointed directly downward so the wire bumps into your shoulder and puts just enough torque on the earpiece to make it move enough to make that sound. The jack should, ideally, be realigned in future models to prevent this from happening, but it's not a deal-breaker.
