PAX West 2019 Recap: The Audio-Technica Booth Proudly on display for the first time at PAX in the A-T booth were the brand new wired ATH-G1 and wireless ATH-G1WL gaming headsets. Designed with gamers’ needs in mind, each headset is equipped with large-diameter 45 mm drivers and a detachable boom mic to hear and be heard by fellow gamers clearly without any pickup of ambient noise, such as a keyboard. The headsets are also lightweight and durable, so users can game for hours comfortably. The wired ATH-G1 is compatible with computers, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and any platform with a 3.5 mm headset connector, while the wireless ATH-G1WL can be paired with laptops, PCs, and Macs.
