The Audio-Technica ATH-GL3 features a closed-back design for excellent sound isolation. On the other hand, the ATH-GDL3 has an open-back design for a spacious, immersive listening experience while allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings during gaming.

“The large-diameter 45 mm drivers deliver high-resolution audio with exquisite detail. A state-of-the-art,
flexible and detachable boom microphone, with highly directional pickup, provides crystal-clear in-game
voice communication among players. Each left earcup has a built-in volume control dial and a mute
switch for convenient control of the microphone.”
