Audio-Technica G1 Premium Gaming Headset Black

Bought them to replace an old, cheap pair for gaming and general use.They are quite different as follows:- build quality: they feel light and 'plasticky', but I believe that's to aid during long sessions. It doesn't feel the sturdiest but it's not gonna break either. Definitely not heavy after many hours.- fit: they don't have a headband, rather two pastic bits that rest on the top of yur head. I did not have problems since the first time I've used them but you might not like them. I do not like the sort of headphones with a thick, heavy band on top of your head, they tend to weigh and tire me after an hour or so. This system however does a great job, not a single complaint and I was pleasantly surprised after being very skeptical about them.- sound quality: I'm NOT an audiophile nor I am an expert in audio whatsoever. However, they are hands down the best sounding headphones I've used after my M50x, period. The open back is great and opens up a new dimension in gaming (and not only there to be honest). You can perceive directions much more easily and the sound is more "natural". There is some bleeding and people are going to hear what you are listening to if they really pay attention. Another great thing is the fact you can hear sounds around you. However, if you are in a noisy enviroment the headphones won't shield a thing. It's great if you still want to be aware of your surroundings i.e. somebody knocking on your door or if the kids wake up,- mic quality: good, loud and clear. There's some static but doen't interfere with its job.In conclusion this is a great pair of headphones, light and great sounding with a comfortable fit. I would recommend them without hesitation.BIG DISCLAIMER: I purchased them for £110 during a lightning deal or something. I have been tracking the price for some months and I believe this price to be the best. It's incredible they used to be sold at £250+. £100-£150 is a good price but they can still be expensive for some.

So first off let's just say that the sound quality on these headphones is incredible, not super bassy for all you dnb fans but good clean bass with incredibly clear mids and highs, awesome for games like pubg. The Mic is of very good quality the clarity is outstanding and everyone in my party commented on how much better my voice was compared to my other gaming headset. They are supprsingly comfortable aswell the wing system is very unique and not for everyone but for my big head it was great.But there are some drawbacks to these headphones, the main one being price, i paid £279 for mine and for a headset in my opinion that's steep. Also for the price the overall build quality, look and feel of the headset is quite bad. The rails running over the top are plastic and seem quite cheap. On the other hand I have dropped these all the over the place and havent got a scratch never mind broken. One thing you will see often is the complaints about the mute and volume switch which to be fair is horrible but not a deal breaker. Also a quick note these headphones really benefit from using an amp to power them, it really pushes they hard and brings out the best, but it's not a must if you don't like your games deafining like I do.

I had trouble finding a good quality gaming headset that made it feel like I got my money's worth. Most of them are cheaply built with obvious areas of improvement which the manufacturer seems to not care about. The microphone being a trend among these items that need improving.If you are getting into streaming and need a good quality microphone, or just want the perfect headset to match your PC, then look no further. Both the mic and sound quality on this headset are flawless and perfect for gaming. It will blow your mind how light these are on your head making then so much comfortable then other choices. I personally think the open back design looks amazing however this comes with a trade-off of having a sound leak (only really matters when talking to friends and can be worked around just by turning the volume down slightly or with a noise gate).The only area where these could be improved was the volume slider/mute switch, which feels like they just added it in last minute. The volume spikes up quite sharply towards the end of the volume slider and the mute switch feels quite cheap.I have also test these on PS4 and they do the job just as well. You will NOT be disappointed however you use these.I recommend a sound card as well if you don’t have a premium motherboard with one built in already.

Having owned this headset for little over 100 days I have found that the microphone no longer works.There is no visible wear and tear on my device, it has never been thrown around, always carefully hung on its hook after use. It simply worked one day, and then did not the next. I have also tried the headset in other devices with no luck, so it definitely is an issue with the headset.As other reviewers have mentioned, the quality of the cabling and the fact that it cannot be disconnected from the headset leads me to believe that my faulty device is due to poor quality materials and construction. When paying for a premium headset this is certainly not something I would expect.Aside from the quality issues the headset is quite good. The sound and microphone quality were both great.The comfort is ok, but the design is slightly flawed and the wing system doesn't keep the headset in a comfortable position on my head without the use of a hair bobble to give it a tighter grip.To summarise:- Great sound- Good microphone- Terrible qualityWould not recommend, take your money elsewhere.
