30.03.2025 06:23 | ~1 minute read
Audio-Technica has introduced a limited edition of the ATH-CKS50TW2 TWS headphones, designed based on the Star Wars universe. Users are offered stylized versions in the style of the droid R2-D2, the characters Grogu and Mando from the Mandalorian series, and Darth Vader. The technical specifications remain unchanged, but the owners of the headphones now have the opportunity to customize alerts that play unique sounds from Star Wars corresponding to a particular character.
The price of the limited edition Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 has become higher - instead of $149, the new headphones will cost $179. Pre-orders will be available from April 21, 2025. As a reminder, the highlight of the original Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 model was its record operating time (up to 65 hours of playback – 25 hours from the headphones, or 15 hours with noise cancelling mode activated, and an additional 40-25 hours via the Magnetic Switch charging case).
