Audio-Technica has launched a premium pair of wireless earbuds named the 'ATH-CKS50TW.' These earbuds have an ultra-long-lasting battery life of 20 hours on the earbuds alone. On top of the 20 hours on the earbuds, the device comes with a case that doubles as a charger. When these two power sources are combined, the earbuds can last up to 50 hours without needing to be plugged into an outlet.
The ATH-CKS50TW features Audio-Technica's active noise cancellation software which, when used, reduces the battery life by approximately 25%. However, the audio isolation of these earbuds with this feature enabled is excellent. These earbuds also support immersive audio features such as 'Sony 360 Reality Audio' for accurate spatial audio. The price point of these earbuds is $200, which is worth it for the number of features these earbuds offer.
