Audio-Technica ATH-CKS5TW Wireless Headphones - Black

Superb build quality, battery life (45h) and bass. Would never purchase Apple’s ridiculous design instead of these.Additional review comment March 2021:Superb no-quibble 2 year guarantee from Audio Technical, that allows faulty headphones to be replaced without a fuss. Will definitely be buying their products in the future. The model reviewed is also available at an excellent price now.

After 4 months daily use.When I bought these they looked on paper to be the best option for my requirements, they may still be, they have excellent battery life - I get at least 9 hours before the first low battery warning. They're comfortable to wear and stay in the ear nicely under normal conditions (I haven't tried them with exercise or anything like that), and they support APTX which is a nice high quality codec. They also look fine, if a bit large, you're not going to wear these to look cool thats for sure but they don't look absurd.However there is plenty of room for improvement, the bluetooth whilst just fine with a smartphone can be a bit slow to connect to other bluetooth transmitters, I frequently have to power cycle my transmitter and/or the ear buds to get a connection. The most disappointing thing for me however is the sound, its not bad as such, you can tell they're a quality earphone but they are just so coloured in the bass range, I want to say they have something like a 20% boost at the low end. This makes the bass overly thumpy and takes a lot of sharpness and detail out of the mids and highs. For someone who primarily uses these for watching video or playing games this is far from ideal. If you're into bass heavy music these may be perfect for you, otherwise I fear you may be disappointed with the sound.

They're great, sound quality closely comparable to their ATH-M50 headset. They do stick out a bit but its a minor downside knowing the sound quality you get.

Giving 3 stars just for the audio quality which I really liked and battery life. I bought this despite seeing some negative reviews as I owe other audio technica product and I love them. However after a few weeks of use I started to have some connection issues especially on my laptop where the sound kept breaking up on video calls. This was happening with me being relatively close to the Bluetooth with nothing that could have interfered. I dismissed this as possibly being my laptop until when using them on my phone the left earbud would turn off without even touching it. I had to press the button to turn this back on or place both bids in the case and get them out again. Overall I decided that for the price it was not worth keeping them with the issues already presenting themselves so early as I could find something better for the same price.

Have been with AT for ages...never disappointed. If u like bass...go ahead. Also, great sound quality, loud volume.Defo recommended. 5stars

They were too big for my ears; as they didn't fit nothing else about them mattered!Really disappointed.

I had high hopes being Audio-Technica but alas the sound wasn’t up to the B&O E8 2.0 or Cambridge Audio Melomania 1’s. In fact it was very inferior. They are larger too, Melomania excelled in that department. Build quality, fit etc all good but I had no option but to return them.
