About the Audio-Technica ATH-G1WL
Stay competitive, go wireless
Stay competitive, go wireless
When you're knee-deep in a tense match, where tactical callouts and environmental sound cues are key to victory, the last thing you want to worry about are your headphones. Audio-Technica has you covered with the ATH-G1WL, a wireless headset designed specifically for a reliable gaming experience on PC or Mac®.
Once you've fully charged the headset, getting started is easy. Plug in the included USB transceiver to automatically pair the ATH-G1WL with your rig. Wireless 2.4GHz operation keeps communication lag-free and prevents interference from TV bands.
Communicate clearly with your team
The headset's boom mic is flexible and detachable, allowing you to optimize its position. It uses a directional pattern to focus on your voice and nothing else, rejecting ambient noises and transmitting your voice clearly to your teammates.
Hear the details that count
When your partner tells you there's a sniper on the roof, you'll want to hear that — not the dryer tossing your socks. The ATH-G1WL's closed-back design helps with noise isolation, while its large-diameter 45mm drivers provide clear studio-quality sound. You'll not only be able to focus on the game's soundscape, but enjoy deeper immersion by activating the 7.1 surround sound mode.
When I play The Hunt: Showdown with my crew, every pat-pat-pat of a nearby enemy's footsteps or crinkle over broken glass can tip us off to a hidden ambush. Knowing which way to turn allows me to swivel 180° and turn the table. The ATH-G1WL blocks out distractions and provides the detailed audio that will help give you an edge when it matters most.
Dial in the sound with optional Windows® software
Audio-Technica has partnered with Embody to further optimize your listening experience with the optional Immerse™ software (subscription required, not included). Immerse analyzes the shape of your ears with a machine learning algorithm to generate personalized spatial audio. Directional cues become more accurate and distinct, and they scale relative to the size of their source. This means you'll be able to better pinpoint and distinguish sounds in a realistic soundscape.
Comfort for the long haul
This headset's lightweight construction and soft breathable ear pads are designed for a comfortable experience during extended gaming sessions. The built-in rechargeable battery gives you up to 15 hours of playtime, and once it's depleted, the headset can still be used while it's charging.
