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.
