Audio-Technica CKS50TW2 Wireless In-Ear Headphones (Beige)

Audio-Technica brings you best-in-class battery life – again. The ATH-CKS50TW2 next-generation earbuds provide all the powerful, full-spectrum sound of the originals with even greater convenience. 

Best in Class Battery Life

You get up to 65 hours of playback: 25 hours from the fully charged earbuds, plus an additional 40 hours available from the charging case (or 15 hours from the headphones and 25 from the case when noise cancelling is enabled). Charging for just 5 minutes gives you up to 90 minutes of use.

Superior Sound

At Audio-Technica, we place an emphasis on sound quality, not just convenience. We’ve engineered our 9 mm high-definition drivers exclusively for the ATH-CKS50TW2 to deliver clear, full-range audio with deep, powerful bass.

Magnetic Switch Technology

The unique magnetic technology in these earbuds helps you conserve power without the charging case when you’re out on the go. To turn the earbuds off, simply snap them together via their built-in magnets. When you’re ready to use again, pull the earbuds apart to turn them back on.

Customize your Listening Experience

The ATH-CKS50TW2 lets you control your sound space. Apply the digital hybrid noise-cancelling function to focus on work, the hear-through function to listen to music while remaining aware of your surroundings, the talk-through function to accentuate the voices/announcements around you, or the unique soundscape function to produce sounds for concentrating, relaxing or meditating.

Added Control

Using the ATH-CKS50TW2 with the Audio-Technica CONNECT app gives you access to many additional functions, such as the low latency mode, ambience control (noise-cancelling, hear-through and talk-through), EQ, voice assistant, and more!
