There are several types of headphones out there — and that’s just from Audio-Technica! The company is trying to put a spotlight on several new headphone models, right before you start your holiday shopping.
Designed for everyday listening, the SonicFuel ATH-CKX5iS is an in-ear model that’s comfortable and easy to pair with your smartphone. It’s hard to imagine an in-ear model being all that comfy, but the company’s 360-degree rotating eartips allow you to adjust this model to the angle of your ear canal. Besides making for a pain-free listening experience, this perk also creates a nice seal for better bass and sound isolation. Available in black, white, red and blue, the ATH-CKX5iS comes with four sizes of eartips, three sizes of ergonomic C-tip earpieces and a carrying pouch, all for $49.95.
Another possible stocking stuffer would be the SonicFuel ATH-AX1iS. This model is even more affordable, at $39.95. It features 36mm drivers, swiveling cushioned ear pads, and the option for black, white, red with black trim, blue with black trim, and gray with green accents.
Instead of hating all of the active people on your list, you could get them the SonicSport ATH-CKP200iS. Featuring an ear-hook style, the ATH-CKP200iS in-ear model has an IPX5 lab-certified waterproof rating and is sweat-proof. If you (or your recipient) manages to somehow penetrate that, this model is still washable. Other features include an in-line remote control, as well as standard silicone XS/S/M/L and ridged S/M/L eartips. Available in black, yellow, red and blue, this model has an $44.95 MSRP.
The last and most expensive model on our list is the QuietPoint ATH-ANC70. This pair of noise-cancelling headphones has a mic and controller for all of your calling needs, as well as controlling music. It also has 40mm drivers, the option to turn the noise-cancelling features off, and a detachable cord. This model ships with a hard carrying case, a 0.25-inch adapter and an airline adapter. It’s priced at $199.95.
All of Audio-Technica’s smartphone-friendly models have a microphone and controls that work with iOS devices and other compatible smartphones and portable devices from companies like Samsung, HTC and more.
