Audio-Technica ATH-M20xSTS Description

The Audio-Technica ATH-M20xSTS StreamSet is built for streamers and content creators who need accurate monitoring and clear voice communication from a single headset. Its closed-back circumaural headphone design uses 40 mm dynamic drivers with CCAW voice coils to provide balanced, full-range audio with enhanced low-frequency performance.

The integrated back-electret condenser microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the user's voice while reducing pickup of surrounding sound. A flexible yet sturdy boom keeps the microphone positioned close to the mouth for consistent vocal capture, and raising the boom automatically mutes the microphone for fast, intuitive control during streams, calls, and gaming sessions.

Comfort is supported by breathable mesh earpads and an approximately 236 g headset weight without the cable. The elliptical earcup shape fits around the ears to improve isolation, making the headset suitable for extended streaming, podcast production, gameplay, online communication, and other content creation applications.

Connectivity centers around a detachable 2 m cable terminating in a gold-plated 3.5 mm four-pole TRRS mini-plug. Included USB Type-A and USB Type-C adapters expand plug-and-play compatibility with PCs, Macs, mobile devices, and other supported equipment.
