Audio-Technica’s latest wireless earbuds, the ATH-CKS30TW+, might have a mouthful of a name, but they pack a punch for the price. These earbuds boast active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode, letting you control your sound environment. Plus, all of this comes in a compact charging case for just $99, making them Audio-Technica’s most affordable noise-canceling earbuds yet. Get ready to experience the audio magic starting September 18th, available in a translucent black finish at audio-technica.com.
With the CKS30TW+, Audio-Technica is clearly aiming for a set of earbuds that are easy to use and perfect for everyday wear. Their IP55 rating for water and dust protection means they’re ideal for workouts or running, and the transparency mode ensures you can still hear your surroundings when needed. Audio-Technica claims you can enjoy around 7.5 hours of playtime on a single charge, and the compact charging case (their smallest yet) adds another 12.5 hours for a total of 20 hours of listening.
Staying true to Audio-Technica’s commitment to quality audio, these earbuds are designed to deliver a premium listening experience. While they don’t support hi-res audio codecs or spatial audio, the 9mm drivers are said to produce deep bass, adjustable through five equalizer presets: Bass Boost Deep, Bass Boost Beat, Dynamic, Vocal, and Clear. The Audio-Technica Connect app allows you to select these presets as well as adjust touch sensor sensitivity. The app also offers a low-latency mode for a seamless listening experience, an earbud locator function, and a Soundscape feature that plays calming sounds of nature to help you concentrate, meditate, or relax.
The CKS30TW+ use Bluetooth 5.1 for connectivity and support Bluetooth Multipoint and Google Fast Pair, enabling easy pairing with multiple devices. However, they don’t support Bluetooth LE Audio or Auracast. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly pair of wireless earbuds with noise cancellation and a long battery life, Audio-Technica’s CKS30TW+ could be the perfect fit.
