Audio-Technica ATH-PDG1
CableProduct details
With over 50 years of production experience in high-end audio, Audio-Technica has made a name for itself not only among audiophiles. The audio specialist not only focuses on PC gamers, but also serves console and smartphone or tablet gamers. This is made possible by the three included detachable cables.
The ATH-PDG1a comes with open, black-silver ear cups, which means that the sound isolation from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside is weaker, but the overall sound is much more spatial and thus more natural. The ultra-soft oval ear cushions allow for long gaming sessions without tiring the ears. The lightweight construction also contributes to the high wearing comfort, as the ATH-PDG1a only weighs 225 grams without the cable.
The Audio-Technica ATH-PDG1a offers gamers an immersive gaming experience. The lightweight aluminum housings open honeycomb design provides natural sound reproduction. Premium 40mm diameter drivers powered by a CCAW voice coil are responsible for the unbeatable sound quality with superior clarity.
For crystal-clear voice reproduction, the ATH-PDG1a features a boom microphone that has an omnidirectional pattern and can be flexibly oriented for optimal positioning. This means there are no misunderstandings with your teammates, even in hot firefights. For maximum convenience, the ATH-PDG1a has a mute button for the microphone and a conveniently accessible volume control.
As a special feature, the headphone cable with microphone is detachable. This allows the Audio-Technica ATH-PDG1a to be converted for portable use and connection to a smartphone. To do so, simply replace the headphone cable with the included smartphone cable. This also has an integrated microphone and a control button for smartphone control. The ATH-PDG1a connects to a PC, console, smartphone or tablet via gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo jack plugs. The cable length is 1.2 m and can be extended by another 2 m thanks to the included extension cable.

- Klasse Klang
- gute Ortbarkeit von Gegnern
- hoher Tragekomfort
- Keine Software
- nur Klinkenanschluss
- Klang in der Umgebung deutlich hörbar
Das ATH-PDG1 ist nur per Kabel mit Klinkenstecker nutzbar; wie in solchen Fällen üblich gibt es keine Software für Klanganpassungen. Aber die sind auch nicht nötig, denn das PDG1 klingt richtig gut, die räumliche Ortung ist präzise, und sogar das Mikro überzeugte im Test weitgehend. Auch lässt es sich sehr bequem tragen, was nicht zuletzt am geringen Gewicht liegt.
- Verarbeitung
- PC-, PS4-, Xbox-One- und Smartphone-kompatibel
- ausgewogenes Klangbild
- 3 Kabel für verschiedene Anwendungszwecke
- Standard-Stoffpolster sehr warm
Die Gaming-Headsets audio-technica ATH-PDG1 und audio-technica ATH-PG1 machen vieles richtig, sind jedoch beide nicht ohne Makel. Das offene Modell, der ATH-PDG1, kann mit seinem ausgewogenen Klangbild auch als Musik-Kopfhörer überzeugen, unser Testmodell war jedoch mit Stoff-Ohrpolstern bestückt, welche uns wortwörtlich ordentlich eingeheizt haben...
