Pure Sound for Gamers

The ATH-GL3BK is a closed-back, over-ear gaming headset that delivers high-fidelity audio through 45 mm drivers. Weighing under 230 grams, it is built for extended sessions without fatigue. The grounded design isolates game detail so you hear every moment clearly. It suits players who want accurate sound and a lightweight fit.

Wired Freedom Across Platforms

Two cables are included: a 3.0 m cable with separate 3.5 mm mic and headphone plugs for computers, and a 1.2 m cable with a single 3.5 mm TRRS plug for consoles. This covers PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, laptops and PCs with standard ports. No wireless pairing or battery charging is required. Buyers needing wireless freedom or USB-only connectivity should look elsewhere.

Detachable Mic and On-Ear Controls

A flexible boom microphone detaches when not needed, turning the headset into pure headphones. Volume dial and mute switch sit on the left earcup for instant adjustments without software. The package supplies both connection cables so you can switch between PC and console instantly. There is no companion app or surround-sound processor in the box.

Questions about this item

How heavy does the 230 g headset feel after several hours of wear?

At 230 grams the closed-back design stays light on the head, so fatigue builds slowly even during long streaming sessions.

Does the 45 mm driver enclosure get warm or the cable heat up during all-day use?

Passive cooling keeps the earcups comfortable; the detachable 3.0 m and 1.2 m cables carry only analogue signal, so they remain cool.

Which of the two included 3.5 mm cables matches the single combo jack on my laptop?

The 1.2 m TRRS cable plugs straight into a combined headset port; the 3.0 m splitter cable is for separate mic and headphone sockets.
