Description

Unlike many companies that produce truly wireless headphones, Audio-Technica places an emphasis on sound quality, not just convenience. The ATH-CKS50TW earphones are no exception. Featuring specially designed 9 mm drivers, these earbuds deliver clear, full-range audio with deep, powerful bass – low- frequency is enhanced by acoustic ducts on the back of the drivers. But while exceptional sound quality may be at their core, we certainly don’t skimp on the convenience, either. For starters, the ATH-CKS50TW earbuds provide best- in-class battery life, with up to 20 hours of continuous use on a full charge. There’s also a fast-charge option that gives you roughly 90 minutes of use from a quick, 10-minute charge. The multifunction buttons on each earbud let you easily control music playback, volume and calls, plus select noise- cancelling and hear-through functions to block out and hear ambient noise, respectively.The ATH-CKS50TW wireless earphones work with an array of today’s most advanced codecs, including Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive audio, Qualcomm® aptX™ audio, and AAC, ensuring the best sound and performance for a variety of uses. Codecs are selectable through the Audio-Technica Connect app, which also gives you the power to activate the low latency mode, adjust EQ, change L/R volume balance, locate misplaced headphones, and more. The ATH-CKS50TW earbuds automatically turn on when taken from the charging case and may be used together or as a single earpiece in the left or right ear. The hybrid eartip structure, fashioned from soft silicone for the eartip and hard silicone for the sound-delivering shaft, provides a secure, comfortable fit with superior sound performance. Other sound-enhancement features include Qualcomm® cVc™ Generation 8.0 for excellent call quality, sidetone circuitry to let you hear your voice in the headphones for more natural call conversations, and compatibility with Sony’s immersive 360 Reality Audio.

  • Exeptional casual headphones!
tl;dr - Great headphones for casual listening! I came from audio background... most of my headphones are studio monitors. Usually I would've used my studio monitors for casual stuff as well... but after this purchase I barely do that. Audio quality is great for casual listening, I wouldn't mix with them, but there is enough audio quality to enjoy different genres of music. Battery is insane. I NEVER had issue where my battery died on me during my activities. Battery is a game changer for wireless headphones. Build quality is really well made, I had couple of times them fall on the ground and was lucky enough not to damage them (both case and pods). They fit my ear really well and never fell out even when I'm running (falling incidents happened when I was not using headphones and due to my clumsiness) Cons: They (pods/case) are BIG. I think if you have a smaller ear they might be too big for you, same goes for case, I never take it with me on the run because of that reason. Noise canceling feature is not really 'pro'/boss level... but I wouldn't expect that for this price point. ... show more

  • Great Sound, Decent fit
Really enjoy the sound! I'm not an audiophile, but I love the sound! Quite clear and the bass sounds really nice. The Bluetooth connected to my Linux PC really well and I can walk to the other end of my house and it stays connected, mostly without any interruption. It is a smaller house. The fit really isn't too bad, but if I'm eating/chewing they'll lose a bit of the seal in the ear. The extra ear pieces that come with it fit tightly and require a bit of effort to change out. The larger ones seem to work best in my ear for now. The battery life is great!! As I write this I've been using mine for over 4 hours. Overall a good experience and I recommend these! ... show more

  • FANTASTIC Audio but HORRIBLE Microphone
These earbuds are great. They have an amazing battery life and audio quality. People complain about the case but I keep these in a bag and it's never been an issue. My only issue is that the microphone is pretty bad. In quiet environments, whoever you are talking to can hear you just fine, but crack open a window while you're driving at moderate speeds and they can hear everything to the point they cannot hear you. I'm a delivery driver so earbuds are a must to keep your sanity. Listening to music is not a problem and the noise cancelling works very well, but when I'm going 30+, especially on a road with a lot of bumps, anyone I am on the phone with hears nothing but loud noises. The mic picks up every single bump in the road, every crack, and strong winds. I still think some of the most top of the line earbuds for their price are the Samsung Galaxy Buds, and in terms of mic quality, these are a massive downgrade compared to those. GREAT FOR AUDIO, BAD FOR MIC QUALITY! 3 month update: They are still going strong! Only issue I've come across is that they tend to not disconnect from your phone when you put them back in the case to charge. The case could have plenty of juice, and when I pop one in my ear the next day, the battery level is low. It's either an issue with the metal prongs/contacts themselves, or dirt that may collect on the bud after some time. ... show more

  • My favorite buds of the handful I've bought
I've bought Apple AirPods pro, Google Pixel Buds, and Klipsch T5 II buds before these. Pros: - Great battery life. (Apple and Google buds are generally smaller but have less battery. I think the extra size is worth it, and it still comfortable to wear.) - Great sound, best of all of the buds I've bought. EQ is adjustable and transparent. - Buds snap into the case very easily without much fiddling when there isn't much light around. (Google and especially Klipsch are a more tricky. Apple buds are easy.) - The transparency (aka hear-through) mode is almost as good as Apple buds. (Klipsch is the worst in this category) - The noise cancelling seems OK. I don't use this feature very much, especially since the in-ear - It uses intuitive, normal buttons instead of relying on gestures (like the Google buds) - No annoying blue lights blinking in my partners eyes (like the Klipsch) Nuetral: It has a product location feature which is unique. It shows them on a map like a Tile. I would more typically lose a bud around my bedroom, however, so it would be nice if it just played a high-pitched sound instead. Cons: Case is the most bulky that I've used, so it's not as pocketable. It doesn't weigh very much though. ... show more

  • Terrible product left earbud doesn’t charge. owned for 33 days.
What i don’t like only had these for 33 days and now it doesn’t charge anymore this is my second pair! first one i did not buy from amazon. the sound quality on these is ok… If you owned a pair of enacfire F1 which was 40-35 bucks five years ago the enacfire sounds better than these. the battery life on these are fantastic last me the whole day on a single charge. call quality degrades after three weeks no one can hear you when you have a call. I got these strictly for listing to music, for the battery life. I expect electronics to last at least a year! Do not waste your time on these, or this brand. ... show more

  • Finally I can stop searching for good bluetooth earbuds
The reasons I'm stopping the search for ideal earbuds is these have all that I'm looking for now: Pros 1. long battery life 2. non-irritating to the ear 3. support for multiple devices concurrently (in my case galaxy s21 4g and galaxy s5ee tablet. 4. large battery in charging case 5. each earbud can work indepently 6. good sound (I'm not an audio expert but they sound nice to me) 7. Noise cancellation ( not the best noise cancellation in our house or the gym, I haven't tried them on a flight yet) Con Does not support wireless charging Sometimes an earbud loses connection to a device when not in use but it is easily reconnected. ... show more
