The ATH-M50xSTS-USB StreamSet is a professional headset designed for streamers and other content creators. Based on our critically acclaimed ATH-M50x professional monitor headphones and incorporating technology from our 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 45 mm large-aperture drivers that grace the M50x – long 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; mesh and leatherette earpads that emphasize breathability and
comfort.
Yet it’s the microphone design that 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 our 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, output at a consistent level. Plus, the headset’s sidetone circuitry lets you hear your voice in the headset (with volume controlled by a dial on the
earcup) for a more natural, conversational feel. 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 2 m (6.6') permanently attached cable with USB-A connection (USB-A to USB-C adapter is included) for plug-and-play connectivity to PCs and Macs.
