Video Description

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/athm50xsts The Headphone Show Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwR4aIGHa50 Today I review the new headset mics from Audio Technica. These things use the ATH-M50x as the platform, and pull the capsule from the AT2020. The headphones are very easy to listen to, and the mic ends up with a lot of the same characteristics of most headset mics. It does sound better than a lot of headset mics, but it still sounds like a headset mic.
