Audio-TechnicaM50xSTS StreamSet Streaming Headset with USB Connection Black

The microphone quality on this headset is amazing, though I doubt this will take a few bangs so don't throw it around. It is quite comfy to wear being light weight which is good for a headset of this size. The cups rest softly on the ears. The Sound quality from the earphones are above average, picking up both lows and highs without sounding tinny. But the microphone is what makes this headset one of the best in its price range, I am still impressed with the quality of its microphone. The arm on the mic is also adjustable/bendable for your own positioning preference. The overall appearance/design fits to my liking. Masculine looking in essence, like a headset batman would wear. This headset is more than worth it's price. I've had many compliments on calls since using the M50xSTS. This is a great choice for people who focus communication rather than gaming. It also works well with Linux operating system providing you buy the USB version of the headset to make your life easier like I did.

Microphone:There is nothing on the market even close to this. If you like to sound good on Teams calls, Discord, FaceTime or any communication platform, this is the headset to get.I care how I sound in meetings and while gaming. Many don’t. But I want to get my message across without annoying people with static, noise, clicks and compression. This headset gives you a natural, clean and close up sound.The built in sidetone is superb. The controller on the headset lets you adjust the sidetone volume completely separate from the music/PC volume. The sidetone also gets decently loud. Since the mic is so good, there is also very little noise from the sidetone. So it’s not annoying when there is no music or meeting sound. Unlike any other headset with sidetone I have ever tried.Comfort/Music/drivers:I have never listened to the original M50X headphones. But the driver quality here is decent and the headset is plenty large for my big head and big ears. Maybe a little bit of contact between my ear and cup lining. Overall good comfort.Music is fairly neutral, but not dull. Base response approved. The highs are not super crisp, but also not fatiguing. I would say a great all around headset.Voices in meetings sound as good as they can, given the sub par mic they are usually recorded with. Sound isolation is enough for my office landscape.Conclusion:The best microphone on a headset by far. Sturdy build. Proper sidetone! Decent sounding drivers. Over ear comfort.What to wish for:Wireless, can it be done without trashing the microphone signal?Lockable headband adjustment.Removable cable (a regular USB-C would be fine).A tad more gain on the mic.

i'm not an audiophile by any means and this is the my first headphones with a price tag over 70 and they've been great so far. great microphone quality and sounds amazing. the only issue i faced is random instances of really loud static that occur every day or so which happens as im using a usb hub due to the length of the headphone wire not reaching my pc case.

Comfortable, mic quality is really good and I like how they are just plug and play without needing specific programmes installed. Light and comfy to wear for longer periods and ear cups are changeable.

Very comfortable to wear and high quality audio both from the headphones themselves and the attached microphone. Great build quality!

I use this headset for webinars and video calls, both on the smartphone and laptop. It completely replaces the external mic on my desk. People on the other side of video calls say that the should is great, very natural, with no echo or background noise.The passive noise isolation is also fantastic and they sound fantastic. Also, this headset is very comfortable, even if you have a large head. Highly recommended.

These are basically the ATH-M50X headphones with an AT2020 mic capsule on a boom.The ATH-M50s are literally legendary for their sound quality and the AT2020 has a reputation for being a good high quality mic.Obviously the thing to be aware of (if you don't buy the USB version) is they come with an XLR connector for the microphone which requires phantom power. This means you can't just plug an adapter on it and expect it to work on 3.5mm socket. But if you are buying a product of this calibre and not getting the USB version you likely already know this already.

Mic needs a good bit of preamp but overall very good, frequency response is relatively flat and they have a good sturdy build, 2 sets of cups and a long wire. Perfect for dialogue but can easily be used for vocals, very handy if you play and sing at the same time. I bought them because I use a vocoder and needed more mobility.
