Audio-Technica ATH-CKS5TW Solid Bass True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, Black

Solid headphones. Sound great. Only complaint is they're hard to stay in your ears. I will say there is a sweet spot and if you keep turning them in your ear you'll find it. Just a hassle and sometimes they still pop out the sweet spot depending on what i'm doing. Other than that i'm happy.

Would never buy this again. Sound great, but this is the second pair and these are failing too. Constantly crashes and now they won't even turn on. Previous pair started whining out of nowhere and stopped working after about 6 months. Also, button layout is terrible. Pause, skip, rewind one side; volume up, down on the other, means u constantly skip or pause when u want to rewind and can't use just one earphone. Furthermore, the company doesn't do much in term of bells and whistles. Won't pause music for calls, doesn't allow for google voice connection, app is virtually uselss without an equalizer option available. Even teriible products from cheap companies are getting these bells and whistels / button layouts right, why can't Audio Technica??

These sound great, and I use them for long (all-day training) calls, music playback, and listening to podcasts. They've performed well, and if someone thinks the bass is too strong, just use an EQ app. Customers report my voice as loud and clear on their end, too. Had to find the right set of tips for my ears, but otherwise no issues.

Do not buy. I feel this was not tested by an everyday user to fix any problems. I'm hoping they send me different earbuds to change my opinion.

I like the design of the earbuds and the case is no too big. Also the battery is great! But then the bad news. The lows are too much and the highs are no where to be found. Audio Technica is a pretty good brand in the audio but these wireless earbuds need to be remade. Or maybe a equalizer in the app?

I was using it regularly day to day, and it was fine! All the ranges sounded great, and the bass hit hard. They conveniently turn on when you take them out of the case. However, while using this product i've been getting more headaches than usual, and just this morning the right earbud stops working for no reason. I'm trying to get a less vague description of the warranty but basically it seems like there's a "warranty" that really doesn't cover anything that a warranty should. Now nothing holds a charge. I would strongly advise getting a pair from a manufacturer with a much better warranty.

Pros: 1. Sound quality is very good for the price. The custom dynamic driver has pretty good detail and soundstage, better than Sony's new $230 noise-cancelling earbuds. The product has "Solid Bass" in the title and they are serious about it being bass-heavy. The bass can be a deal breaker for some people. 2. 15 hour battery life is awesome. Hours above the next longest-lasting true wireless earbuds. 3. Very small case that allows for memory foam ear tips without preventing charging, unlike the vast majority of wireless earbud cases. 4. Excellent noise isolation with memory foam ear tips. Can very barely hear a loud portable HVAC fan. Better than Sony's $230 noise-cancelling earbuds for typical indoor and outdoor sounds, but haven't tested either for flying yet. 5. People can hear me just fine during voice calls with the earbuds' mics. Cons: 1. A bit on the larger side, but to be expected since it has such good battery life. Be sure to orientate it properly or it can hurt to wear. The logo's scalene triangle should have the acute angle pointed up, with button aimed diagonally forward and up. 2. 600mAH case battery gives 30 hours of additional charge. Acceptable, but 900-1200mAH would let us go 1-2 weeks without recharging.

I have used many blue tooth ear buds. Power Power Beats Pro, Jabra 65t, Galaxy Buds. These by far have the best sound quality. The sound is so great I switched to Tidal Premium to take advantage of them. By far the best bass out of any earbuds. The Power Beats Pro were lauder, but they were bulky and had sub par connection. The connection on these have been great. I have experienced a couple hiccups with them, but nothing that turning them off and on again didn't solve. And you have that ability, without putting them back in the case. Whitch most earbuds don't. Build and fit have been great. I actually find these buds to fit superbly in my ears. I dislike the use of magnets, because they collect metal particles, and at my work there are a lot. These are not smart buds, they play music, and the do it amazingly. Don't expect to use siri or ok google with them. You can answer phone calls with them. And the battery life is insane. Have listened to them for 6 hours straight and not gone below 80% better. Amazing. So if you great sounding earbuds, with amazing battery life, these are the best.

I got this product the day it was announced in IFA. Audio technica really did amazing on the design. The audio quality is nothing but amazing. The depth of the sound and the details are on point. Bluetooth connection is instant on Android and i experienced minor dropouts which fixed themselves. The only real issues I have was with the fit. I never had a problem fitting earphones before but this one had me use the smallest eartips and even those felt uncomfortable. I did fix that by buying third-party eartips and ever since then, these are the best true wireless earbuds you could buy if you're looking for sound quality with style
