Audio Technica ATH CKR50iS

amazon Audio Technica ATH CKR50iS reviews

Design

This pair of earphones has a very simple design, can be said to be the standard of the ATH CKR line. Most of the headphones are made of lightweight plastic and aluminum, using electrostatic paint, which is quite solid but light. The housing has a logo and nothing more.
The nozzles are crossed to reach the ears more easily. This part is light, small so the feeling of wearing quite comfortably with the noise is quite good.

On the cord, there is a talk microphone section with an extremely large button. Unfortunately, like other CKR products, the CKR50iS does not have a volume control, which is equivalent to the middle button. With this button, users can pause, play music, receive calls and hold to call virtual assistants.

Sound

Audio Technica is a fairly consistent company whose products are not too different in sound quality, enough to distinguish each other. CKR50iS is very characteristic of the CKR line: it is modern but still has a sweet mid-tone, extremely ATH!

Modern features of the CKR50iS are located in the bass strips. The bass volume of this pair of earphones is more than average and, of course, more than the old sound of the AD pair, its previous IM balance Armature. Bass down very deep, the sub-bass was not rolled off too early. Sub is very bold but is played at a fixed point, not bleed. Pitbull’s mid-bass and Christina Aguilera are plentiful, more importantly, playful pressed down with high punches, not diluted. This bass can serve Dance, Pop and fast enough not to become “obstacles” when listening to music more lightly. With Amber Rubarth’s Light, the mid-section has a midrange but very light, acceptable level, so the bass is very tight, but the CKR50iS can still be used with Ballad music.

The midrange is the sound range I enjoyed at the CKR50iS. However, it is refined compared to the pair of purebred headphones to play more advanced, brighter but still retain the sweet characteristic of the Japanese sound. Mid playing thick, bold and progressive, although the band is quite a lot, the singer is always the main part that the listener heard. Try with Emily Browning’s “Pretty When the Winds,” a lightweight, comfortable, and easy-listening female vocalist. This mid-range can not be natural or accurate; it has its color; rich color has been confirmed for a long time ago. For those who like more accuracy, cleanliness, try the RHA S500i at the same price range. The high mid is controlled very well, so although quite high, not to feel short-lived but also not sibilance. That is the advantage of the new ATH products compared to the old line; the old product is often sibilance if the music is not good, this phenomenon has improved a lot.
