This is exactly what it looks like, its a set of ATH-M50x with a boom mic.... (spoiler) the mic is a mini wonder! It comes with a brand new set of breathable ear pads for long sessions and the plosive rejection is unbelievably good and in all honesty, the clarity for a headset mic is unheard of, especially under £200!

Yes, Tom does know that he said sideband instead of sidetone at 02 : 02, that's a flashback of years of 1990s illegal CB radio for you.
