Construção de qualidade. Poderia ser mais confortável (uso óculos e com o passar do tempo passa a incomodar um pouco). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pair of cans, good mic once noise cancelled; but you should get a XLR sound card for this. *by on Reviewed in Canada 7 August 2025* The sound profile is great, especially with my Creative Soundblaster AE-9 sound card setup which takes XLR for the mic, and provides the phantom power required for said mic.The quality of the build, I can't say it's quite as stiff I as I would prefer in its adjustments, as it slides rather easily. Almost too easily. But it has a firm enough grip on the head to not adjust itself about like is possible with cheaper headphones. So that's nice.The microphone itself, as far as I can tell listening to it through my own setup, sounds great. There is the caveat that if you are in a loud room, it will pick up the other noises like is to be expected; but noise cancellation sorts that out right away. Once again, the AE-9 is kinda saving the day here.I guess that maybe is something to mention then overall. If you are going to buy these, you maybe want to buy a good sound card or otherwise sound system for it. I have a funny feeling that most motherboard audio outputs won't be able to drive this headsets speakers well enough. Some testing with different impedences tells me this is probably going to be the case for many unless they actually have some decent onboard audio. (It happens.)If anyone wants to test something to see what I mean, go into your desktop if you have one, and find the HD_Audio port near the bottom of the motherboard. If there is a cable for your case to connect to that, do that. Now go into your audio settings, and select to run the audio through that instead. There is a good chance that due to this being the HD_Audio port, that front I/O will have a slightly better audio result.If so, you're welcome. If not, well, might I suggest getting the Creative Soundblaster AE-9 with this purchase? It, or something similar, will make these sound awesome. Or rather, more awesome than they would sound if you didn't.Okay, rundown:1. The mic is great, but definitely use some noise cancellation if you're in a loud room. Considering the purpose of these is to have a decent mic attached to a decent pair of headphones; it accomplishes this just fine. Also the mic swings up to mute. Nice little feature since it's not always going to be in use.2. The build quality is fine, what I said before covers the main things mostly well enough I think; but there is something that bothers others. The cable. Honestly!? I mean sure it's not detachable, but the XLR connector isn't the giant weight they treat it as... if it's connected it's not weighing on the cable, is it? This is part of why my review sounds like a sales pitch for a sound card. Because honest, you should be getting one or something adequate for handling XLR if you are buying this. The only way the XLR connector becomes a burden on the cable, is if you shouldn't even be using the product in the first place "technically speaking". There is a USB version available for the rest, and if you really need to, I guess there are adapters a person could use... but I have not tried those, so I cannot speak on them much. Also, this mic requires phantom power to operate... not sure if you're gonna get that through a normal mic jack. As for other strain potentials the cable could go through... I dunno what others are doing, but my cable basically go straight to laying on a table next to my left shoulder from the left earcup, and travels to the audio dock for my sound card on the same table. So I doubt it's being stressed much. Worst case scenario, I have to pull out the tin/silver/copper solder and the iron. (True non-leaded solder, unlike the usual tin/lead version.) Not my first time fixing a cable for a headset.But I do agree it would have been preferable to have a detachable setup, with a single extra replacement cable for just in case. Honestly, at these price points, I kind of expect that to be included and as a default. Not my first pair of cans, and others had it. But I bought these knowing full and well it wasn't detachable, so I am not miffed over it or anything. Just would be nice is all. Audio-Technica, if you're reading this... an updated version that only makes things better and changes only the cable situation... just saying. Still XLR, but maybe the 70's instead of the 50's. That sort of thing. Would gladly shell out again for that in a few years from now.Anyways.Are these worth it? Yes. Would I buy it again? Absolutely if I needed to for good reason, not just to get a new pair cause the cable became a problem. Would I suggest them to others? Only if they get a good sound card that handles XLR mics to go with it. Honestly, it's a kinda obvious connector that should be respected for what it is. If you're gonna buy gear that requires specific connectors; you best get the gear that goes with that connector.Alright. That's enough out of me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Audio-Technica ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet Professional Streaming Headset - Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Guitarists, Vocalists, Podcasters or Producers to record and playback studio quality sound --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/514023313-ath-m50xsts-xlr-streamset-streaming-headset](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/514023313-ath-m50xsts-xlr-streamset-streaming-headset) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
