Audio-Technica Launches New Earbuds With Chest Thumping Bass

One complaint I frequently hear about wireless earbuds is that they don’t have enough bass. Some people just love the thump of a bass string and want the earth to move when listening to their favorite tunes.

Japanese brand Audio-Technica has taken this criticism on board and developed new true wireless earbuds with extra oomph. The ATH-CKS30TW+ earbuds have launched today and they have been designed to deliver chest-thumping bass that belies their compact build. And just in case outside noise interferes with your bassline, these earbuds all offer immersive active noise cancellation.

Audio-Technical says that these new earbuds are the culmination of a 15-year quest for super-deep bass. To plumb the depths of mega-bass, the company has added acoustic ducts and proprietary 9mm drivers that control airflow. And if bass is about anything, it’s all about shifting larger amounts of air to get that big bass sound.

With tightly controlled low frequencies, detailed mids and what Audio-Technical describes as “sparkling highs,” these earbuds are the ideal gift for anyone who loves music, movies and games with maximum impact.

Audio-Technica’s Connect app provides access to an ultra-low-frequency equalizer which extends the bass even further for body-moving beats. Four additional equalizer presets are also available so that users can enhance everything from vocal clarity to dynamic gaming. The presets are Bass Boost – Beat, Dynamic, Vocal and Clear. The presets can be set as a favorite in the app and automatically applied to the earbuds with every listen.

The combination of deep bass and active noise cancellation makes the ATH-CKS30TW+ ideal for fully engaging in sound by tuning out unwanted sounds from air conditioners to the grind of public transport.

Accessible with a tap of the built-in touch sensor controls, the feedforward active noise canceling function is supplemented with hear-through and talk-through functions that enable environmental sounds and natural in-person conversations without having to remove the earbuds.

A full charge of the earbud batteries provides up to 6.5 hours of playtime with noise-canceling turned on. With the reserve charge held in the earbud storage case, there is a total of 17.5 hours of listening time. If you want even longer battery life, turn the noise-cancelling off and you will get up to 7.5 hours of playtime from the earbuds or 20 hours with the charging case.

The ATH-CKS30TW+ are available in four colors and have a snug and natural fit that prevents bass frequencies from escaping, as well as physically stopping unwanted outside noise from passing through the headphones.

Thanks to a comfortable fit and low weight, the earbuds are suitable for hiking and workouts. An IP55 waterproof and dustproof rating means there’s sweaty gym sessions shouldn’t be a problem. An Out-of-Range Alert and Product Locator also means users should lose their earbuds by forgetting or misplacing them.

Pricing & Availability: The Audio-Technica ATH-CKS30TW+ wireless earbuds will be available from today priced at $99 / £89 / €99.
