Audio-Technica ATH-M50xSTS-WL StreamSet Wireless Streaming Headset

Experience professional studio sound and crystal-clear communication without the limitations of cables with the Audio-Technica ATH-M50xSTS-WL StreamSet Wireless Streaming Headset. Designed for gamers, livestreamers, podcasters, and content creators, this premium wireless headset combines the legendary audio performance of Audio-Technica's ATH-M50x professional monitoring headphones with the exceptional vocal clarity of its 20 Series microphones. Featuring low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless technology, the StreamSet delivers reliable, interference-resistant audio for seamless communication and immersive listening during gaming, streaming, and online conversations.

At the heart of the ATH-M50xSTS-WL are 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare-earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils. These professional-grade drivers deliver exceptional clarity, detailed midrange reproduction, and deep, accurate bass, allowing users to hear everything from subtle in-game environmental sounds to music and dialogue with impressive precision. The closed-back, over-ear design helps isolate external noise, while two sets of interchangeable earpads let users customize their listening experience. Choose the standard ATH-M50x earpads for enhanced sound isolation and audio fidelity, or switch to the breathable mesh earpads for added comfort during extended gaming and streaming sessions.

Communication is equally impressive thanks to a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone inspired by Audio-Technica's renowned 20 Series microphones. Unlike many traditional gaming headsets that use dynamic microphones, the StreamSet features a condenser design engineered to capture natural, detailed vocals with excellent intelligibility. A flexible boom arm keeps the microphone positioned close to your mouth, while switchable adaptive noise reduction helps minimize unwanted background sounds from computer fans, air conditioners, and other distractions. When privacy is needed, simply flip the boom arm upward to instantly mute the microphone.

Built for convenience and flexibility, the ATH-M50xSTS-WL uses an included USB transceiver to provide stable, low-latency wireless connectivity with compatible computers and gaming consoles. Integrated sidetone circuitry allows users to hear their own voice through the headphones, creating a more natural speaking experience. With up to 24 hours of battery life on a full charge, the StreamSet is ready for extended gaming sessions, livestreams, and content creation. The included USB cable also supports wired audio operation while charging, so you can continue listening and communicating without interruption.
