Summary

63% Informative

Audio-Technica's ATH -CKS50TW2 earbuds can go for 20 hours on a charge without active noise cancellation.

Magnetic switch technology lets you snap together with magnets to turn off before you put them in the case.

Warm, inviting sound quality and long battery life are the main reasons to buy the ATH/CKKK50 TW2 .

The not so good: Bulky, unbalanced design and no wear detection.

The ATH -CKS50TW2 is missing a crucial feature — wear detection.

The design isn’t the most comfortable and the controls are awkward to use.

Despite a few flaws, there’s plenty to like here, including the two most important things for a lot of users.
