ATH-M50XSTS-USB Streaming Headset
Audio-Technica welcomes the new ATH-M50XSTS-USB streaming headsets. This model along with the ATH-M50XSTS, is the world’s first headsets specifically developed to address the needs of live-streaming content creators.
The headsets are equipped with the same 45 mm large-aperture drivers that grace the M50X headphones – 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 streaming headsets, come with two sets of distinct earpads: 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 these streaming headsets apart. Both models use a cardioid condenser capsule adopted from the popular 20 Series microphone designs on a flexible boom arm, allowing for ideal positioning even as you move your head. The result is rich, studio- quality vocal presence without background noise and 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 uses a 2 m (6.6') permanently attached cable with USB-A connection (and USB-A to USB-C adapter) for plug-and-play connectivity to PCs and Macs. In addition, the ATH-M50XSTS-USB includes an A/D converter with a sampling rate up to 24-bit/96 kHz and sidetone circuitry that lets you hear your voice in the headset (with volume controlled by a dial on the earcup) for a more natural, conversational feel.
