    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is amazing, the directionional sound is a godsend for games like Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, and the subtle sounds of footsteps are audible without the volume being so high. They say that their voice comes across crystal clear and the microphone on these is also crystal clear. However, others say that the back/motherboard ports did not transmit the screeching noise, the headphones lack audio quality, and that the annoying rattling sound would come and go.

    "...Background noises are only picked up if they loud bangs or clashes or something similiar, but if you do want more background, it can be adjusted..." Read more

    "...Studio and thru chatting with friends found that my voice comes across crystal clear. I'm using these new the Xbox One powered by a Astro Mixamp TR...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the gaming headset. Some mention that it's the highest quality gaming headset when it comes to audio, with great quality sound and mic. However, others say that the headphones aren't bad but not great, the build quality is sub-par, and the sound quality is also just bad. They're disappointed with the overall experience and feel that a defective product is fine.

    "...Overall this is still quite possibly the highest quality gaming headset when it comes to audio you can get if your headset needs to have a mic built..." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the headphones. Some mention that they fit really comfortably on their head and don't feel like they will fall off.

    "...it doesnt clamp onto your ears painfully or so weightlessly that you can still hear everything going on around you...." Read more

    "...Which is funny since the headset looks large in person. The 53mm drivers look huge and the wing system makes it look larger than it feels when..." Read more

    BEST headsets I have ever owned! Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X Open Air

    BEST headsets I have ever owned! Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X Open Air
    Everything about this headset is well made and built to last! I especially love the way it holds the top of my head. I would get headaches from other headsets that would press down on the very top of my head. I have tried a few versions of off brands and Logitech G35 (which were not too bad but pressed down on top of my head giving headache 1 hour later). I was about to use the Hyper X brand but picked this instead because of the way it rested on my head compared to most headsets. I AM SO GLAD I TRIED THESE OUT FIRST! but they do cost more (I am willing to pay more for comfort and durability). I have had mine for 2 years and game every night with an average use of about 4 hours. I still do not see any signs of wear and tear on padding like I had issues with on Logitech G35s used but handed down to my son. I would literally see the pads start to break up on the G35s within 6 months and replaced them 3 times before just getting these Audio Technica open cups. I chose the open cups because I have a wife and can have them fully on and still hear the wife yell for me with them fully on. I also still like to use 5.1 speakers for Logitech for game sound. So I normally have discord voice running through my headsets. This is just my prefered way of gaming to have social sound closer to my ear than game sound and easier to adjust each accordingly. The open cup design of the "Audio-Technica ATH-ADG1X Open Air" is perfect for this and I can hear the 5.1 speaker game sound crystal clear even with these are on my head (only discord chat is heard over it when people chat).I guess the only complaint I have is the cord is short and not braided (but still made of very DURABLE rubber) and can get pretty tangled up because it resists twisting. I have to unwind the short cord about once a day depending on how often I put them on and take them off my head. I use a hyper X USB sound card with this to help give me more cord length and they work very well together. So I guess I just wish the cord was braided like most professional gaming items (like gaming mice and HyperX stuff)

    Possui design inovador, bonito acabamento com preto e vermelho, microfone com espuma (não capta ventos do ventilador), boa precisão de sons em 3D para jogos como Fortnite (identifica o oponente em todos os eixos (frente/traz, esquerda/direita, cima/baixo). Graves médios. Preço bem acima do razoável, se considerar apenas a qualidade do áudio.

    Reviewed in Italy on August 16, 2021
    Ho comprato questo headset per curiosità in sconto dall'usato di amazon, il precendente proprietario evidentemente le ha rese per l'audio che potrebbe essere troppo flat dato che erano in perfette condizioni, per qualcuno ma secondo me é il loro punto di forza. Le ho provate maggiormente su Valorant e ci ho ascoltato musica, si vede che sono prodotte da Audio-Tecnica che le cuffie le sanno fare e bene. Il microfono é il migliore che abbia mai sentito in un headset, il suo unico competitor son le sennheiser e le audeze a parer mio come qualità audio e come resa generale. Comodissime con un design vecchio ma che ha ancora il suo da dire, risultano leggere anche dopo molte ore di utilizzo. Secondo me fino a 200€ sono un ottimo acquisto
