Audio-Technica announces the launch of its ATH-CKS50TW2 earbuds, bringing
best-in-class battery life with all the powerful, full-spectrum sound of the originals with innovative
Magnetic Switch™ technology, and hybrid noise-cancellation. The headphones retail for $329 in
Australia and are available now in black from JB HiFi as well as green and beige from the Audio-Technica website.

The earbuds give you up to 65 hours of playback – 25 hours from the fully charged headphones, plus
40 hours available from the charging case. With noise cancelling on, enjoy 15 hours from the earbuds
and another 25 hours from the case. Additionally, a quick 5-minute charge provides up to 90 minutes
of use if you’re in a rush.
The ATH-CKS50TW2 earbuds feature Audio-Technica’s new patented Magnetic Switch™ technology,
which allows the earbuds to turn off when joined by built-in magnets. This is a great way to preserve
power when you’re out and about without the charging case. The earbuds feature exclusive 9 mm
high-definition drivers, specially made by Audio-Technica to deliver clear, full-range audio with deep,
powerful bass.
With the press of a button, activate hybrid noise-cancelling technology that uses feedforward and
feedback processes to block ambient noise. When you need to stay aware, hear-through and talkthrough modes allow you to keep in touch with your surroundings—ideal for both music and calls.
Featuring dual high-performance MEMS microphones and beamforming technology, these earbuds
ensure crystal-clear call quality, even in noisy settings.
The ATH-CKS50TW2 earbuds are designed to fit comfortably in your ear. The included hybrid eartips
combine hard and soft silicone to ensure a snug fit, preventing sound from escaping your ears. The
earbuds are also waterproof and dustproof (IP55-equivalent) for added convenience. Audio-Technica
offers three timeless colour options to Australian customers: black, green, and beige.
The A-T Connect app enhances control, enabling low-latency mode for smooth streaming, adjustable
EQ, and easy device location. Multipoint pairing and Qi wireless charging compatibility provide
seamless everyday use. Additional features include a unique soundscape mode offering nature
sounds for relaxation, masking noise for concentration, and meditative sounds. The customisable
button enables easy control of playback, volume, and voice assistants, while dual- or single-ear use
supports any listening style. With Siri® and Google Assistant™ compatibility, these earbuds are the
perfect companion for today’s dynamic lifestyle.
