## Overview

The Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3WH is a premium open-back gaming headset featuring large 45mm dynamic drivers for high-resolution audio, an ultra-lightweight design under 220 grams for all-day comfort, and a detachable, highly directional boom microphone for crystal-clear communication. With built-in volume and mute controls on the earcup and universal wired compatibility across major gaming platforms, it delivers immersive spatial sound and professional-grade convenience tailored for serious gamers and multitasking pros alike.

## 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.

Review: Very comfortable for large heads - 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 $130 for me simply for the comfort and style. The sound just needed to work for Halo honestly.
Review: Going to punch my wall then cry - This was the single best headset I have ever owned. The audio is fantastic, the headset is light on your head, ear muffs are large and comfortable, it breathes so my ears don't sweat, the mic sounds good, the manual mute toggle is nice, and I'm not cooking my brain with bluetooth since its wired. Only issue is that despite being 140$, the ear muffs are still connected to the headband with a single 2mm screw through an extremely flimsy piece of plastic, so within 3 months of use the ear muff snapped off and is dangling by a cord. I did nothing extreme, I treat it very gently. I'd thought I'd finally found a perfect headset for my very large head - now I am shattered. My disappointment is immeasurable, and I am honestly slipping into a depression knowing I have to shell out another 100$+ to try another headset that will either be too small of my giant head, or weigh 8 lbs. 4 of 5 stars, because mine broke and I'm very sad.. if you get one, treat it extremely gently, but its a very very good headset.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not quite there...
*by K***S on November 24, 2025*

I wanted to love these. I did for the audio quality. Just not the build quality. The audio sounded great. Both for FPS and Adventure games. As well as for music using an Apple DAC. My problem with the build quality is that the it felt low end. It's lightweight but almost too flimsy. It's a creaky sounded headset when moving around, even slightly while sitting at the desk. You have to me laying down or hold steady for these things not to creak. Wish these were built a little "heavier" and sturdier, then I think they'd be perfect.
