A professional headset designed for streamers and content creators with exceptional clarity throughout an extended frequency range.
The ATH-M50xSTS-USB 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-USB 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-USB, instead, uses a cardioid condenser adopted from the popular 20 Series microphone designs (along with an A/D converter with a sampling rate up to 24-bit/96 kHz) 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-USB is outfitted with a 6.6' permanently attached cable with 1/8" with USB-A connection (USB-A to USB-C adapter is included) for plug-and-play connectivity to PCs and Macs.
