Audio-Technica Collaborates with Hatsune Miku to Create MIKU-Inspired ATH-M50xSTS Streamset

Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 60 years is excited to announce its collaboration with MIKU to create the inspired ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU Streamset.

This exclusive design maintains the performance of the ATH-M50xSTS-USB, designed for streamers and content creators while capturing accents of the Hatsune Miku character in every detail. Keeping the combined technology from Audio-Technica's best-selling headphones, the ATH-M50x and 20 series, the new ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU will feature crystal-clear sound, highly reliable performance, and deliver an inspiring listening experience.
The headband is decorated with lines inspired by Hatsune Miku's hair accessories, and additional Miku motifs can be found in the original graphics. The housing ring, slider, and other accents feature "Miku Green" metallic parts that shine brightly amidst the overall dark color scheme offering a cool and sophisticated statement. Miku's footprint continues into the packaging as well, featuring an exclusive main visual drawn by popular illustrator LAM.

Main features of the ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU include high-resolution monitoring with large-diameter, high-force magnet 45 mm CCAW voice coil drivers, a clear sound quality over a wide frequency range, sidetone function to hear your voice through headphones, and flexible boom arm to allow the microphone to be fixed at the mouth, eliminating ambient noise.

The ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU is equipped with a USB Type-A connection and USB Type-C adapter for plug-and-play connection to PC/Mac. The headset is currently available for a U.S. MAP price of $279.00.

Ironically, the sound signature of M50s is probably the worst possible fit for Miku tracks. I am staggered that this shit pair of cans is still getting recommended in 2025 to anyone unironically. Hell, in headphone enthusiast community it’s own little brother, the M40, has been rated much higher for years now.

$279 is pretty steep for a gaming headset, but finally a Miku themed gaming item that isn't ridiculously overpriced compared the regular version. I'm not an audio snob, so these would probably sound fine to me lol.

yeah it is really sad, the AT M40X with Hm5 pleather pads sounds about 40% better than the M50's while being much cheaper. got my pair many many years ago, and its still my go to closed back can. M40x is underrated and overlooked, it is sad, it does need a pad change, and most people don't do that is the issue i guess.
