Audio-Technica ATH-M20XSTS Streaming Headset (Black)

This headset for streamers and content creators combines the design philosophy of M-Series professional monitor headphones, beloved by studio engineers worldwide, with the microphone technology of Audio-Technica’s iconic 20 Series. Featuring a lighter, more manageable design than the ATH-M50xSTS, this entry-level model gives you professional sound quality that will support you from your first stream to full-scale content production.

The headset’s 40 mm drivers ensure a wide bandwidth and are tuned for flat frequency response. The exceptional audio performance allows you to accurately monitor original sound sources and catch the subtlest details of game audio. The headset’s lightweight design, approximately 230 g (8.1 oz), and breathable mesh earpads provide a comfortable fit even during long streaming sessions.

The cardioid condenser microphone suppresses ambient noise while delivering clear vocals to listeners. Thanks to the flexible-but-sturdy boom arm, the microphone stays positioned near your mouth regardless of head movement and is tuned for optimal sound at that position, enabling ideal voice capture.

Flipping up the boom arm instantly mutes the microphone. The headset includes a detachable cable with a 3.5 mm (1/8″) 4-pole mini-plug connector for console use, plus USB Type-C and USB Type-A adapters for plug-and-play use with PCs and mobile devices.

An indispensable content production tool, the ATH-M20xSTS delivers accurate, full-spectrum sound reproduction and clear voice capture in a single device.
