Audio-Technica ATH-M20xSTS Streaming Headset with USB Adapters

Audio-Technica ATH-M20xSTS Streaming Headset

The Audio-Technica ATH-M20xSTS Streaming Headset combines 40mm closed-back monitoring headphones with an integrated cardioid condenser microphone for streaming, gaming, podcasting, and content creation. A detachable 3.5mm TRRS cable plus included USB-A and USB-C adapters provides flexible plug-and-play connectivity across computers, mobile devices, and compatible consoles.

Built around Audio-Technica's M-Series monitoring design and AT20-series microphone technology, the headset delivers a 15 Hz to 20 kHz headphone response with a balanced monitoring character. The flexible boom keeps the microphone close to the user's mouth for focused voice pickup, while raising the boom instantly mutes the mic. Breathable mesh earpads and a lightweight 0.5 lb design support extended streaming and gaming sessions.

The ATH-M20xSTS also simplifies multi-device workflows by using one detachable cable rather than separate headset versions for analog and USB connections. Its elliptical earcups improve passive isolation, while the 40mm CCAW voice-coil drivers use high-strength magnets for accurate monitoring. When connected through the supplied USB adapters, the headset supports high-resolution digital playback and recording formats.
