Audio-Technica ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet Professional Streaming Headset

The ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet from Audio-Technica is a professional headset designed for streamers and other content creators. Based on the critically acclaimed ATH-M50x professional monitor headphones and incorporating technology from their iconic 20 Series microphones, the ATH-M50xSTS delivers full-spectrum, studio-quality sound to your ears and to the ears of your listeners.

The headphones are equipped with the same 1.77" large-aperture drivers that grace the M50x—the monitoring choice of top engineers and audio pros—to provide exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range, with deep, accurate bass response. The StreamSet, however, comes with two sets of distinct earpads that you can use according to your preference: M50x earpads that stress audio quality and sound isolation, plus mesh and leatherette earpads that emphasize breathability and comfort.

The microphone design truly sets the StreamSet apart. Broadcast headsets typically employ a highly directional dynamic mic that’s great at cutting out crowd noise and other ambient sounds, but doesn’t often capture all the detail in a speaker’s voice. The ATH-M50xSTS, instead, uses a cardioid condenser adopted from the popular 20 Series microphone designs and places it at the end of a flexible boom arm, allowing for ideal positioning that maintains its proximity to your mouth even as you move your head. The result is rich, studio-quality vocal presence without background noise, with output at a consistent level. The mic can be muted quickly and efficiently simply by flipping the boom arm into the up position.

The ATH-M50xSTS is outfitted with a 6.6' permanently attached cable with 1/8" headphone input and XLR microphone output for connection to an audio interface or mixer. A 1/4" snap-on adapter is also included for the headphone plug.
