Audio-Technica’s new $99 headset focuses on the two things gamers actually need
Audio-Technica’s new $99 ATH-M20xSTS gaming headset keeps things simple with M20x-derived headphones, a condenser boom mic, and wired connectivity.
Audio-Technica has introduced a new wired headset called the ATH-M20xSTS StreamSet, priced at $99. This headset focuses on the essentials, offering a closed-back design with 40mm drivers and a cardioid condenser microphone. The drivers, tuned for enhanced low-frequency performance, utilize copper-clad aluminum voice coils and a frequency response of 15Hz to 20kHz.
A unidirectional condenser microphone with a flexible boom arm focuses on the user's voice while minimizing background noise. Connectivity is through a detachable cable with a 3.5mm TRRS connector, and the headset weighs around 230 grams. Unlike many competing headsets, the ATH-M20xSTS does not include extras like RGB lighting or virtual surround sound modes.
This simple, no-frills design emphasizes the headset's primary purpose: clear audio for gaming and streaming.
