STREAMING HEADSETS HAVE grown in popularity as a result of the explosion in gaming, conferencing, and other online broadcasting pursuits that have taken off in recent years. While entry-level models can be very inexpensive, those who are serious about streaming will often want to look at a higher quality solution. Audio-Technica's ATHM50XSTS comes in two versions, an analog model with XLR and 3.5mm audio plugs, and the USB version, as reviewed here.
Costing around $30 more, the USB model plugs directly into your computer using its hard-wired USB-A cable, or via the bundled USB-C adapter. The bonus here is that you don't need any kind of audio interface and can take advantage of the headphones' onboard DAC (digital to analog converter) to achieve up to 24-bit, 96kHz audio quality. They are self-powered, drawing a small amount of current from your USB port.
