Audio-Technica ATH-G1
Its 45mm drivers deliver a 5Hz-40kHz frequency response and 101dB sensitivity, paired with a detachable boom mic for highly directional voice capture. A locking mute switch and in-line volume control add convenience, and removing the mic transforms the 257-gram headset into a high-fidelity headphone for music. Best for console gamers who need a wired headset that seamlessly switches between clear in-game communication and personal listening.
