Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 60 years, announces the launch of the ATH-CKS30TW+ wireless earbuds. The ATH-CKS30TW+ wireless earbuds provide rich sound in our most thin, lightweight case yet. Measuring at .94 inches long, 1.5 inches high, 2.36 inches wide and weighing 1 ounce, the case easily fits in a pocket for those on the go. The translucent black design is sleek and unique.

The earbuds' 9 mm drivers deliver deep bass, which can be adjusted using the 5 equalizer presets: Bass Boost Deep, Bass Boost Beat, Dynamic, Vocal, and Clear. When it's time to relax, the Soundscape function plays soothing sounds of nature or other calming sounds to help users concentrate, meditate, and rejuvenate.





Equipped with active noise cancelling, hear-through, talk-through, and multipoint pairing, the ATH-CKS30TW+ elevates the user's listening experience. With an IP55 dust and water resistance rating, the earbuds are perfect to bring along on any trip, workout, or adventure.

The earbuds feature a 7.5 hour battery life (12.5 hours in the case) and additional customization using the Audio-Technica CONNECT app. Users have the ability to adjust touch sensor sensitivity and function assignment, locating missing buds, activate low latency mode, select EQ presets, and enable the Soundscape function.

The ATH-CKS30TW+ earbuds are currently available for a US MAP of $99.

I was expecting to see a higher price tag so $100 honestly isn't that bad

The specs aren't worth more, as only SBC and AAC is on offer. Also 6.5 hours battery with ANC is very middle of the road today.

How is the audio quality on current wireless ear buds like these compared to a wired version.

It is still inferior or comparable?

Audio Technica UK never responded to my emails, and also ignored messages from Audio Technica USA. So take that for what it's worth.
What a shame - but thanks for trying :)
