Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The ATH-M50xSTS-USB is a closed-back streaming headset with a boom-mounted condenser microphone and USB-A connection for computer-based work. Its internal converter supports up to 24-bit/96 kHz, with listed operation at 16- or 24-bit and up to 96 kHz. The flexible boom keeps the microphone close as your head position changes, and lifting it mutes the mic. Two pad sets let you choose between the M50x option or mesh and leatherette pads.
Strong match
Who this is for
- PC or Mac streaming setups that need plug-and-play USB headset connectivity.
