Crackling audio fix | Great quality | Comfortable
[IF YOU’RE EXPERIENCING CRACKLING AUDIO, PLEASE READ!]The audio quality of these headphones is excellent, and I’ve enjoyed using them for over a year without any issues. That is, until recently, when the right head phone started crackling.After seeing other customers report the same issue, I contacted support to troubleshoot. However, I discovered the cause before getting a response from them.I had recently started using a PowerLine adapter to transfer network data between rooms without running an ethernet cable. This seemed to introduce either a grounding issue or electrical interference, likely due to the high data load on the circuit.If you’re experiencing similar issues, I recommend checking for any recent changes to your home’s electrical setup.Hope this helps!

Excellent for the Second Time
I’ve owned a pair of original ATH-M50x Studio Monitor Headphones to listen to music and play instruments at night for about 10 years and have loved the sound and feel. After suffering through a few years of relentless MS Teams calls at work I decided to look for a suitable headset that would give me a lot more comfort that had the sound quality in the headphones as well as the microphone to last all day. I had been wearing the cheap “work provided” kit that is standard to most offices now that we spend half our day on these conference calls.When I searched for a high-end set, to my delight, I realized the same headphones I’ve been wearing for my evening enjoyment came in the complete headset variety. So it was a no-brainer to purchase the ATH-M50xSTS-USB Streamset. I have not been disappointed. The sound quality is as excellent as their studio headphone cousins. There’s a couple of other bonuses I wasn’t expecting. The microphone is the same one from their renowned 20 series, which I have used in the studio and on stage. Having it in an office call, I know that I am now the best sounding caller in the meeting, hands down. Not only can I present my points with conviction, I never have to worry about pops or static because I’m briefing the boss on some cheap mic. There’s even a little button on the side where I can turn my own voice down, or up if I want to indulge myself in the supreme resonance of my own voice. Also, when I’m done with the call and want to tune out to some of my favorite tunes and still make it look like I’m hard at work, I keep the headset on and groove away. No skibidi.Also, it’s great that I can just swivel the mic up and automatically mute myself, without needing to find a mute button on screen that’s a sea of undefined icons. When I feel a cough coming on, I just grab that little guy, slide up, and cough like no tomorrow. My coworkers have no idea I’m hacking out a lung while the budget guys are going over their numbers because I can mute myself quicker than a hankie of chloroform on Forensic Files.So, if you are looking for audio quality and superior performance that will make you feel better about your life as you succumb to hours of Teams and Zoom meetings, I highly recommend this headset. Also, if you play games and/or you need to talk or stream you’ll probably be the coolest kid on the server with these. Go for it.

Excellent headphones!
These are by far some of the best headphones I’ve purchased. After years of being around loud engines and pneumatic tools, by hearing is no longer what it used to be. The headsets are comfortable to wear for extended periods of either watching video or playing video games, while not causing fatigue due to weight or discomfort for your ears.Sound quality is excellent and the mic is both easy to adjust to where you wish it to be while also being stiff enough to ensure it doesn’t move too easily when you turn your head.While not exactly completely noise cancelling like, the do reduce local noise levels such as loud air conditioner fans etc. enough to the point that whatever media you are listening to will likely not be disturbed too much from external distractions.Definitely will buy again if a newer model comes out and has comparable quality.

Outstanding Sound Quality in PnP format
This is an amazing headset and there are no drawbacks to it. It has to be understood, however, that it is (i) wired and (ii) there is no noise cancellation. Those (i) and (ii) are NOT drawbacks, because none of them are declared as features of the headset, I am just pointing this out for the potential purchasers. Best headset microphone ever that does not necessitate tinkering with the sound when one prefers notto: for instance, on a conference call.

Excellent Headset for Video Tutorials
I bought this headset for the convenience of having a good condenser mic built into headphones, and it doesnât disappoint. I mainly use them for recording video tutorials on my computer, and the audio quality is fantastic. The mic performs well, making my voice clear and professional. It sounds great and gets the job done without any hassle. A solid choice for anyone creating content!

Good audio bad comfort
As an absolute chad gamer i need to be able to wear my headset at least 6 hours a day. But unfortunately the ear cushions are small and uncomfortable. Maybe i just have big ears idk but i ended up taking some cushions off my old headset which are way better even though they arenât the right size. I also wear a beanie because i can literally feel the skin on. the top of my head being indented due to lack of cushion on the top part as well. With that being said i am very pleasantly surprised by the audio quality and the loudness. To be fair the best headset iâve ever had was razer so this was a huge upgrade to be fair but yeah dope headset. I also love the feature that allows you to hear yourself talk very nice stuff.

Still great after 5 months!
Great headset, total game changer. Once I swapped over everyone noticed my mic was a lot clearer than my previous wireless headset.

When I was starting my audio production career, I did a mountain of research, spanning weeks. I finally settled on an Audio-Technica M50. This is before the M50x came out with the disconnecting audio cable.I used that headset for 11 years. I still have it, it still works great. But I switched to another career path (became a burned out professional statistic) and started working from home. My new career involved a lot of zoom meetings and I bought some crappy usb condenser mic.The mic started fuzzing out so I decided after 8 years of doing this I should invest in a good mic setup. The ATH 2020 condenser mic, which this head set uses in it’s capsule is a really good condenser mic. The fact this headset came out just a couple months ago was definitely some kind of divine intervention lol.It sounds fantastic. Crystal clear audio for both listening and speaking. I plugged it in, and it just worked. There was 0 work.I am absolutely in love with this headset. I look forward to 11 years of use. I’m unsure if the mic will hold up for as long as the headset will but I trust Audio Technica. It’s pricey but this is worth it.DO NOT get it if you work in a loud/busy call center. The mic’s sensitivity is both it’s great strength and it’s weakness. It picks things up really well and does not isolate ambient noise that well. No true condenser mic will unless you’re using a shotgun mic. But they’re not building those into headsets.

Perfect audio. Must buyIf you wanna use the external DAC go for the one without the USB. I wanted simplicity so got the one with USB. The audio quality of this prevents me from using bluetooth headsets

I’ve been using these since April and, this is exactly like my old pair of regular M50x. It comes with a different set of ear pads attached but also comes with a set of the old style pads as well because, yes, using one or the other will decide how the headphones will sound to your ears. So, if you want them to sound like your old pair of M50x, then, switch the pads up!The microphone sounds really darn good but it’s quiet. I know I had to boost the volume by 9 to 12db in OBS to not sound faint. There’s also a function to allow you to listen to yourself when talking through the mic for testing which can be turned off with the rocker switch on the left side. The fact that you just need to rise the mic up to deactivate it is a great touch!The USB connection finally got rid of an issue I always had with my desktops. With my old pair of M50x, I could literally ear the noise of the electricity when doing things like downloading a file or using my GPU intensively… This would not be present if there was any other sound present but, when no sounds were playing, it was really audible and annoying; especially for the GPU sound since it has was high-pitched. The USB cable is a god-send.The only thing though… it’s the included USB-A to USB-C cable. It’s really darn cheap and can cause interference because it’s made of thin metal. If you have to route cable through somewhere, I suggest you invest in a good USB-3 extender or use a much better adapter. I recommand UGREEN’s products for this.The cable itself cannot be detached which is a huge bummer – that’s something you lose from the regular M50x. It also has the same issues with all other AT headphones i had: the rubber will get stiff if handled regularly and, in my case, I had to buy cable sleeving so it would stop coiling on itself…Tested with Windows 11, no issues whatsoever. Detected immediately.Despite the negative, I still give it a 5-star review. Purcahsed after LinusTechTip’s channel SHortCircuit featured this product. Oh, and, there’s also an XLR version for the mic if that’s your thing.

This headset definitely has the absolute best microphone, no doubt about that. I’ve tried it during my conference calls and it works about as well as dedicated mics going through an audio interface. All other headset mics I’ve tried have much worse sound & a lot more noise.However,… this headset is expensive. Very expensive. If you can justify the price or can wait for a sale, and you really want the convenience of a headset, you can buy it & you’ll be happy with your purchase. Normally Audio Technica products don’t go on sale very often, and even when they do, the price reductions are small.I bought mine for â¹ 21,500. No regrets.
