The latest true wireless earbuds from Audio-Technica have arrived, known as the ATH-CKS50TW2, which intends to bring some quality audio to the table with some interesting extra features.
If you are looking for a pair of earbuds that offer convenient use and top-tier audio quality in the form of a modern design, then these earbuds promise to be a great choice for those who listen to music everyday, as well as audiophiles.
Magnetic Switch Technology: Convenience Redefined
Ahead of ATH-CKS50TW2 is the Magnetic Switch technology that makes it simple to use on a daily basis. When you connect earbuds together through magnetically, the earbuds automatically turn on and off.
With an easy operating design and the conservation of battery life, this feature is literally designed for the user on the go.
Quick Charging — and on All Day Battery Life
Key highlights of these earbuds include battery performance. In noise cancellation off mode, the ATH-CKS50TW2 provides up to 25 hours of playback, and up to 15 hours in noise cancellation on mode.
When combined with the charging case, the total runtime is a frankly ridiculous 60 hours, so you can leave the charger in your bag ever time. Quick top ups are a reality thanks to 5 minute charge allowing 90 minutes of use, and these earbuds are ideal for the always on the go.
Premium Audio and Advanced Connectivity
The ATH CKS 50TW2 features 9 mm drivers at the heart of it, with an impressive frequency range of 5 – 20,000 Hz for a clean, detailed audio from any genre.
The performance we all want from our earbuds, whether it’s booming bass or crisp highs, these earbuds promise to deliver.
Connectivity is equally robust, thanks to Bluetooth 5.3 and multi point pairing which makes the switching between devices seamless.
Favored audio codecs including SBC, AAC, and LC3 are supported by the earbuds, resulting in a stable, high quality connection with low latency.
One thing that the ATHCKS50TW2 really takes seriously is noise management. And you can block out those unwanted sounds thanks to hybrid active noise cancellation, whether you’re in a packed café or travelling in noisy surroundings.
There is a hear through mode that turns the earbuds into open ear earbuds. Leaving them in, you hear ambient sounds or conversations but are not blocked from the outside world.
The Soundscape feature adds a unique touch, providing relaxing audio options such as pink noise, nature sounds, and even meditation tracks. This feature lends these earbuds a versatility that you want whether you’re at work focusing or lounging after a long day.
Crystal Clear Calls and Durable Design
The earbuds come with dual MEMS microphones with beamforming technology for phone calls in order to minimize background noise and improve voice clarity. And that makes them a great option for work calls or casual chats in loud places.
At 7.2 grams per earbud the ATH-CKS50TW2 is lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods. To ensure a great fit for all users, there are four ear tip sizes.
They’re IP55 rated, meaning they’re protected against dust and water splashes, so they’ll be welcoming workout buddies or companions on any outdoor adventures too.
Flexible Charging Options
The charging case, weighing 51.5 grams, offers two convenient charging methods: There is Qi wireless charging which takes 7.5 hours and USB-C which takes about 4 hours.
These earbuds themselves are ready to go in 2.5 hours so you don’t have to worry about charging them or carrying some larger charging dock.
Pricing and Availability
The price for the Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 earbuds is $149, and they’ll be available to buy on Audio-Technica’s Amazon store soon.
If you are looking for a challenger in the wireless earbuds market, you should count on the sleek, innovative features with long battery life, and premium sound provided by these earbuds.
