I’ve always like headsets that allow you this distinction. The ATH-AG1’s cord is 1 meter in length but a 2 meter extension cord is included to help facilitate your unique gaming environments. The hold-to-mute button rests on the inside of the mic’s arm joint hovering slightly over your face. This allows you to not only pull the mic out of your way when not needed but also allows you to adjust the head of the mic to a preferable distance away from your mouth. It is on a bendable arm that rotates on a 100 degree hinge. The mic sits along the bottom of the ATH-AG1’s left ear cup. The plush earcups were also forgiving whenever I used the headset with glasses, causing no pinching along the rims. It’s heavy enough to stay in place while light enough not to cause any fatigue over long periods of play. The headset seemed to be slightly sturdier on our hair-having writers, but that’s not to say that it was uncomfortable for me. I have a shaved head causing the headset to immediately slide right down my head and lock around my ears. They are connected by joints that turn until a solid hold is established.

Secure fits are further solidified by the 3D wing support system – a pair of self-adjusting flaps that rest against the top of your head. The ATH-AG1’s frame is made of light plastics and flexable rubbers yet still has just the right amount of weight to sink or fall into position on your head.

It was that splash that which gave them the nudge to take a full swing at gaming with their latest High-Fidelity Gaming Headsets: The ATH-AG1 and ATH-AGD1. But what about the gamer that would rather do away with a collection of functions the sake of just getting the best possible sound from their games? Well Audio-Technica already made a splash in the gamer community with their ATH-AD700 units, which were not directly aimed at the gaming market. They provided a handful of functions while dancing around the practically standard $200 in price.
