The ATH-M50xSTS and ATH-M50xSTS-USB StreamSet™ are the world's first headsets for live-streaming content creators that use the ATH-M50x professional monitor headphones along with a 20 Series condenser microphone mounted on a flexible boom. The well-known M50x's 45-mm large-aperture drivers provide clarity over an extended frequency range plus a deep, accurate bass. There are two sets of ear pads: the regular M50x ear pads for quality audio and good isolation and also a pair of lightweight mesh and breathable leatherette ear pads for more casual uses.
Both models have a directional, cardioid condenser capsule on the end of a fully-adjustable boom arm. You get a studio-quality vocal sound but without background noise and, since the mic stays locked in position in front of your mouth, your vocal is always a constant level. Flipping the boom arm up out of the way mutes the mic. Great idea!
Both headsets use a 2-meter (6.6-foot) permanently attached cable. The ATH-M50xSTS comes with 3.5-mm (1/8-inch) headphone cable plus a 6.3-mm (1/4-inch) adapter) and as well as a XLR microphone output connector. For connection to PCs and Macs, the ATH-M50xSTS-USB's cable terminates with an USB-A connection and comes with a USB-A to USB-C adapter.
The ATH-M50xSTS-USB has an A/D converter with a sampling rate of up to 24-bit/96 kHz; you may feed the mic audio directly to the headphones if required through an adjustable volume control.
The ATH-M50xSTS sells for $199MSRP and the ATH-M50xSTS-USB is sells for $229MSRP. With them you have the option of either all-analog headphones and a phantom-powered microphone system or an all digital system using a single USB connector. What a great idea and I want a pair!
