Hatsune Miku Makeover for Audio-Technica’s M50xSTS-USB

Audio-Technica x Hatsune Miku collaboration for content creators' favourite headset, resulting in ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU.

Audio-Technica has collaborated with world-renowned virtual singer Hatsune Miku to launch the limited-edition ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU.

Based on the trusted ATH-M50xSTS-USB, a top choice headset for streamers and content creators, the new release blends the renowned audio performance with Miku's unmistakable aesthetic.

Powered by 45mm drivers with CCAW voice coils, the headset promises wide bandwidth and accurate, high-resolution sound thanks to its onboard DAC that supports 24-bit/96 kHz resolution. The M50xSTS-USB combines the best-selling ATH-M50x headphones' skills for producing a natural, balanced soundscape, its comfortable fit, and durable design with the crystal-clear microphone technology of the AT20 Series.

The cardioid condenser microphone on the boom arm boasts "high-resolution voice capture with excellent ambient noise elimination," alongside Sidetone Functionality, so you can hear your own voice in real-time for more natural and confident communication.

Meanwhile, the swappable earpads allow you to upgrade from the fitted mesh earpads (HP-M50xSTS), designed for long streaming sessions, to the leather HP-M50x for premium sound isolation, also included in this limited edition Miku version, along with a 2-metre USB Type-A cable and a USB-C adapter.

From the metallic "Miku Green" accents of her twintails on the housing ring, slider, and L/R indicator, to a headband adorned with "hair-accessory-inspired lines", the limited edition touches reflect Miku's signature style.

Naturally, and perhaps more importantly for collectors, the headset is housed in exclusive packaging that features an all-new main visual by celebrated illustrator LAM, portraying Hatsune Miku in a bold, game-inspired look.

The ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU is not just a well-rounded headset for creators - it's also a must-have collectable for Hatsune Miku fans.

The limited-edition Audio-Technica ATH-M50xSTS-USB MIKU retails for £239 | ¥39,000 | US$279. Further pricing to be confirmed.
