Audio Technica ATH-M50XSTS Professional Headphone + Mic for Streaming/Gaming

The ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet combines the ATH-M50x headphone with a cardioid condenser microphone based on the 20 Series, putting studio monitoring and broadcast-quality voice capture on one head.

For a streamer, the practical win is one device instead of three. No separate mic stand competing for desk space, no boom arm in front of your camera, no headphone plus USB mic cabling to manage. The mic sits on a flexible boom arm that holds position near your mouth, which keeps your voice level consistent and rejects background noise. Flip the arm up and the mic mutes, silently, without hunting for a key bind.

On the audio side, proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum voice coils cover 15-28,000 Hz with 99 dB/mW sensitivity and 1,600 mW maximum input power. That is the same driver platform as the ATH-M50x, so game audio, music, and monitoring all hold up.

Two earpad sets ship in the box. The M50x pads prioritize sound isolation and audio quality. The mesh and leatherette pads trade some isolation for breathability, which matters across a five-hour stream.

The analog model uses a 2 m (6.6 ft.) attached cable with a 3.5 mm headphone plug, a 6.3 mm adapter, and an XLR microphone output for an interface or mixer.
