Audio-Technica has officially launched the ATH-CKS50TW2, its latest true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, across Europe. Building on the success of its predecessor, the ATH-CKS50TW2 brings notable improvements in battery life, audio performance, and usability, making it a compelling option for audiophiles and everyday users alike.
One of the standout features of the ATH-CKS50TW2 is its impressive battery endurance. Users can expect up to 65 hours of total playback time, with 25 hours from the earbuds themselves and an additional 40 hours from the charging case. Even with active noise cancellation (ANC) activated, the earbuds deliver 15 hours of use, supplemented by 25 more hours via the case. A quick 5-minute charge provides up to 90 minutes of playback, ensuring minimal downtime.
A key innovation introduced in this model is the Magnetic Switch technology, allowing users to power the earbuds on or off simply by joining or separating them. This not only enhances convenience but also helps in conserving battery life when the charging case is not within reach.
The ATH-CKS50TW2 features 9 mm custom-designed dynamic drivers, delivering clear mids, rich lows, and extended bass response for a well-balanced audio experience. Its hybrid noise-cancelling system employs both feedforward and feedback microphones, efficiently reducing ambient noise across a wide frequency range.
The earbuds are also equipped with hear-through and talk-through modes, which are particularly useful during conversations or when users need to remain aware of their surroundings. These modes are active even during calls, helping users monitor their own voice in noisy environments.
Connectivity is another strong suit of the ATH-CKS50TW2. The earbuds support Bluetooth LE Audio, LC3 codec, and multipoint pairing, allowing seamless switching between devices. A low-latency mode ensures audio and video remain perfectly in sync, ideal for gaming and video streaming.
With Qi wireless charging, users can enjoy convenient cable-free charging. The IP55 rating offers resistance to water and dust, making them suitable for workouts or outdoor use.
The accompanying A-T CONNECT app offers advanced customization options. Users can tailor EQ settings, adjust noise control levels, track lost earbuds, and explore ambient soundscapes designed to aid focus or relaxation.
The ATH-CKS50TW2 comes with hybrid silicone eartips designed for a snug, secure fit, ensuring optimal sound isolation and comfort over long listening sessions. The earbuds are compatible with Siri and Google Assistant, and support single or dual-earbud use, adding flexibility for calls or casual listening.
The new earbuds are available in Green and Black color options. In Europe, the ATH-CKS50TW2 is priced at £125 in the UK and €149 in the EU. On the U.S. website, the earbuds are listed at $159, though availability is yet to be confirmed.
