Advanced Sound Quality: The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xSTS-USB Streaming Headset features proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers. These drivers use rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils. This design delivers exceptional clarity across an extended frequency range. You can expect deep, accurate bass response along with detailed high frequencies, enhancing your streaming experience.

High-Performance Microphone: Equipped with a cardioid condenser microphone, the ATH-M50xSTS-USB provides studio-quality articulation and intelligibility. This microphone, adapted from the iconic 20 Series studio mics, captures your voice with precision. The microphone is positioned at the end of a flexible boom arm, which allows for optimal placement near your mouth. This design helps reject background noise and delivers clear, focused audio. Additionally, you can quickly mute the microphone by flipping the boom arm upward, facilitating easy control during live sessions.

Comfortable and Versatile Earpads: The headset includes two sets of interchangeable earpads. One set emphasizes high fidelity and sound isolation, while the other enhances breathability and comfort. The M50x earpads prioritize audio quality and noise reduction, making them ideal for critical listening. In contrast, the mesh and leatherette earpads offer improved ventilation and comfort, accommodating long streaming sessions.

Connectivity and Functionality: The ATH-M50xSTS-USB comes with a 2-meter permanently attached USB-A cable for simple, plug-and-play connectivity with PCs and Macs. This digital model supports high-resolution audio with a sampling rate of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. Additionally, it features sidetone circuitry, allowing you to hear your own voice in the headphones, which creates a more natural streaming experience.
