Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10 SonicPro In-Ear Headphones

First, I'm not saying these are better than the ie800 or se846.Without providing a detailed technical review, I can honestly say that the ATH-CKR10 will make you remember that the ie800 and se846 set you back $800 aka two car notes or a mortgage or your rent payment while the ATH-CKR10 are under $200.Your inner cheap guy, conscience, business person and economist will seriously start to question whether you need to spend $800.I might provide details later, but those technically savvy can take a look at this.Impedance:Sennheiser 16 OhmShure 9 OhmAudio-Technica 12 Ohm (No Amp Needed!!!

That purchase I've been searching for. All the hard work and research finally paid off right when I was getting ready to settle.I'm way too happy with this purchase!!!! The people at Audio-Technica are way too humble. I almost feel like I ripped off Audio-Technica!!

Alright, these are the best IEMs I have heard. They sound incredible. It really brings out the littlest of details. Guitars, cymbals, voices, and drums sound incredibly clean on these. I cannot believe ATH discontinued this line. The guitars sound so clean and every little detail is revealed.These are bright IEMs. The bass is verry tight and punchy, also incredibly clean. The frequency response is fairly neutral. Soundstage is small but this is preference to whether you like tight and clean sounds or not. Channel separation is fantastic as well. These headphones actually convinced that an instrument was comming from somewhere in real life. I was looking around like an idiot lol. I did a head to head comparison with the sennheiser hd600 and these sounded so much cleaner and accurate. The only faults I find in this IEM is the lack of disconnectable cable and the static discharge. Do not wear floofy clothes or shuffle on carpet with these. Although not limited to just these pair of IEMs, just be prepared to unplug and take them out when you start to hear crackling sounds and touch a metal surface.Songs that sound amazing on these:- Hotel California (Live): the guitar just sounds so phenomenal and accurate. Every nuance is brought out and shown.- Bullet (Chelsea Lankes): the bass is incredibly punchy and tight (accurate). You can hear the coarseness of her voice and the airiness of it.- UAC Report File; Shto36u3 (DOOM OST, Mick Gordon): the bass and everything about it sounds so clean and accurate. It has lots of bite because of the incredible finesse these drivers have.- Palace (Unlike Pluto): just listen to the part where it sounds like he is playing the harp backwards. It is incredible. It is airy, hits fast, super clean, detailed, and tight. The response is so fast and accurate. The bass is not overwhelming the other instruments unlike how it does with other headphones I have tried. The instrument separation is fantastic.I bought these off of Amazon, but you can find them sometimes ~$50 cheaper on EBay. They are the best heaphones hands down at this price range. And definitely can compete with ~$400-600 headphones. I have built $1000~ sound systems and this takes the cake for accuracy and clearness.

Excellent sound quality, the dual phase push-pull drivers is able to reproduce the bass accurately.The size of the earbug is quite large, but surprisingly, they are very comfortable in my ears.I can hear a lot more details in all high/mid/low ranges when compare to normal consumer earbug like apple earpod.I use a Fiio E10k DAC Amp to drive it, it sound slight better with the amplifier, but the differences is hard to tell when compare with connecting to my iphone directly.I wish I could give it a 5-stars, but I deducted one because the cable is non-removable and can result of some microphonics even when you move your head slightly. This is not a big issue to me as I use it solely in the office, but I do not recommend to anyone to use it on the go.

These earphones are my fourth one from Audiotechnica and the ones I prefer. I have no experience with the most recent models that replaced them. Once burned in they sound neutral, with an extended response, no reinforcement on a given part of the spectrum. Their main qualities compared to other model and other brands in similar price range:- Ability to discriminate subtle tonal differences.- Very low intrinsic intermodulation, including in its super clean and extended bass response- Easy to drive, they accept an iPhone plug even though they will of course sound even better with a better amplification and conversion!Only feed them via uncompressed or high bitrate compressed file - or analog origin - they resolve also well the issues of inferior digital encoding...Not fitted to very small ears and a bit bulky to sleep with.

These are by far the best bang for your buck IEM. After doing some research these showed up as good contenders for the type of music I listen too (EDM, Trance, and Vocal Trance). Vocals may sound a bit high pitch at first, but after a bit of usage they should sound better after, and in terms of bass these are the best they give enough of a punch to make you feel like you have a subwoofer in your ear.IF you plan on picking these up I HIGHLY recommend getting them fulfilled by amazon and NOT by the other resellers as it seems they are always marked very high (amazon price around 200, but other resellers are like 300-600)

Earpieces are on the heavy side. Product finish not upto mark. Tacky pouch.Sounds amazingly true with all the details. Faithfully yours. A bargain at the price I paid for these.

the ear phone is fine but I am still waiting for answers of my questions. such as why the packaging film was removed before I got it, where is the guarantee paper. Etc.The earphone has a weird structure, I spent time in fitting it, and before that my ears felt painful if I used it for more than 20 minutes.

Amazing sound but hard to fit in your ears: I got some Comply foam tips and is much better now.

good
