The Audio-Technica ATH-CKS5TW does a lot right: an extremely long battery life, fast charging and good speech intelligibility on the receiver side. Other issues, such as the balance of the frequency spectrum, the handling or the lack of current additional functions such as noise-cancelling or transparency mode, are not solved so well. Therefore the ATH-CKS5TW are recommended especially for lovers of massive bass reproduction, because they will get their money’s worth! As an all-rounder, however, they are less suitable with this sound signature and therefore have a tough time competing with Apple’s de facto standard.
