Gaming just got a whole lot better. With over 50 years behind us in the audio industry, we took a major leap into the gaming world last year. We introduced our first two gaming headsets, and while it was a new endeavor for us, we couldn’t have been more excited. We recognized the need for gaming headsets that appeal to the true audiophile. The response was overwhelming – we were blown away by being welcomed into the gaming world with open arms! We quickly got to work on developing additional gaming headsets, which were unveiled at this year’s CES. Meet the ATH-PDG1 and ATH-PG1. Like their predecessors, these new headsets were designed with the serious gamer in mind. The ATH-PDG1 and ATH-PG1 gaming headsets deliver powerful, detailed audio and long-lasting comfort, and are specially tuned to reproduce all the lively sonic detail today’s games have to offer.

ATH-PDG1 Open-Air Headset

The ATH-PDG1 sports an open-air design, which provides unrivaled sound quality, clarity, and comfort. The lightweight, honeycomb aluminum casings on the headset ensure a natural, spacious sound, and also keep your ears cool even under the most intense gaming fire. Additional features of the ATH-PDG1 include:

• Large-diameter 40 mm drivers with CCAW voice coils, specially tuned to provide lively, in-the-game sound

• State-of-the-art, flexible boom microphone, with mute and volume control, for crystal-clear in-game voice communication

• Detachable smartphone cable with inline mic and controls that allows the headset to also function as a great pair of on-the-go headphones

• Strong, lightweight construction with ultra-comfortable leather headband and earpads to enable extended gaming sessions

• Three detachable cables:
  • 1.2 m boom mic cable,
  • 1.2 m smartphone cable
  • 2.0 m extension cable

ATH-PG1 Closed-Back Headset

The closed-back design ATH-PG1 features large 44 mm drivers, soft leather earpads and headband, and is constructed from lightweight materials, allowing you to play on without experiencing fatigue or discomfort. The ATH-PG1 features:

• Large-diameter 44 mm drivers tuned to provide lively, in-the-game sound

• State-of-the-art, flexible boom microphone, with mute and volume control, to provide crystal-clear in-game voice communication

• Detachable smartphone cable with inline mic and controls that allows the headset to function as a great pair of on-the-go headphones

• Strong, lightweight construction with ultra-comfortable leather headband and earpads to enable extended gaming sessions

• Three detachable cables:
  • 1.2 m boom mic cable,
  • 1.2 m smartphone cable
  • 2.0 m extension cable
