A Studio Classic Redesigned for Streaming
The first professional headphones from the brand specifically designed for streamers and content creators, the ATH-M50xSTS carries the sonic DNA of the ATH-M50x headphones, a reference in many studios and home studios. The idea is simple: to maintain the precise listening signature and isolation of closed-back headphones while adding a quality "broadcast" microphone directly on the headband, simplifying the audio chain without sacrificing sound quality.Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The ATH-M50xSTS is aimed at creators who want a reliable monitoring headphone and a clean voice capture in a single device: streaming, podcasting, voice-over, competitive gaming, professional video calls, or quick recording. The closed circumaural design helps limit bleed and maintain precise mix control, while the cardioid microphone prioritizes the voice and helps reduce ambient noise.Key Features: Precise Monitoring and Clear Voice
Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Instant Mute
The integrated microphone, mounted on a flexible arm, easily positions close to the mouth for clearer diction and more consistent levels. Convenient live: it mutes quickly by simply lifting the arm, ideal for managing a break or aside without searching for a button.Two Comfort Profiles Thanks to Included Ear Pads
Audio-Technica provides two types of ear pads to adapt the headphones to your session: M50x-style pads favor isolation and sound seating, while mesh fabric and faux leather pads improve airflow for long takes. The swiveling ear cups also facilitate "one-ear" listening and placement.Connectivity Oriented Toward Audio Interfaces and Mixers
Designed for serious integration into a production setup, the ATH-M50xSTS features a 3.5 mm headphone output and an XLR microphone output for connection to an audio interface, mixer, or mic preamp. A clip-on 6.3 mm adapter is included to fit studio headphone outputs.Technical specifications
