Audio Technica ATH-M50xSTS

The ATH-M50xSTS is a professional streaming headset that merges studio monitor headphones with broadcast-quality microphone performance. It’s built around the well-known M50x headphone platform, meaning you get accurate, punchy monitoring sound suitable for production, gaming, and content creation. Unlike typical gaming headsets, this one is clearly aimed at creators who care about audio quality rather than RGB or wireless gimmicks.

The integrated condenser boom microphone is designed for clear, articulate voice capture with minimal background noise. Borrowing from Audio-Technica’s 20-series mic technology, it delivers a more natural vocal tone than most headset mics, with a flip-to-mute boom for practical workflow. Available in both XLR (for interfaces) and USB (plug-and-play with built-in DAC), it bridges the gap between studio gear and convenience.
