Open-Back Headset for Spatial Audio

The Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3WH is an open-back gaming headset designed for players who value accurate sound placement. Its 45 mm drivers deliver high-resolution audio across an expansive sound field. Weighing under 220 g, it remains comfortable during extended sessions. A detachable boom microphone with directional pickup ensures clear voice communication.

Suited for Competitive Play, Not Noise Isolation

This headset suits gamers who rely on precise audio cues to locate opponents in competitive titles. The open-back design creates a wide soundstage but does not block external noise. Buyers who need passive isolation for loud environments or prefer a closed-back sound signature should look at a different design. The lightweight build favours long wear over heavy bass impact.

45 mm Drivers and Dual 3.5 mm Cables

The 45 mm driver size determines the headset’s resolution and detail retrieval for positional audio. Two detachable cables are included: a 3.0 m cable with separate 3.5 mm mic and headphone plugs for computers, and a 1.2 m TRRS cable for consoles. Volume dial and mute switch sit on the left earcup. Earpads and headpad detach for replacement.

Questions about this item

What cables come in the box and do I need anything else for PC or console?

The box includes a 3.0 m cable with separate 3.5 mm headphone and mic plugs for computers and a 1.2 m cable with a 3.5 mm TRRS plug for PS5, Xbox Series X and other consoles; no extra adapters are required

The headset is listed at 220 g and 45 mm drivers — how do those specs translate to daily comfort and sound?

At under 220 grams the headset stays light during long sessions, while the 45 mm drivers give a wide soundstage that helps you pinpoint footsteps and environmental cues in games

How does the open-back design change what I hear compared with a closed headset?

The open-back build creates an expansive sound field so you can localise sounds such as an approaching opponent more naturally, though it also lets ambient room noise in and leaks your audio out
