Earphones with dual phase push-pull drivers

3 Comments
By Yoriko Takahashi

audio-technica is going to release two models of new earphones that have a newly developed mechanism dual phase push-pull drivers for the first time in the world.

ATH-CKR9 (¥32,400) and ATH-CKR10 (¥43,200) will be released on April 25.

These new models are earphones with 13mm 2 dynamic driver units placed facing each other - called the dual phase push-pull drivers mechanism. 2 diaphragms move together, but they don't have the same movement. By inputting an antiphase signal to one driver, the 2 drives move independently. Thanks to the mechanism, these new earphones have improved sound reproducibility performance and play unconstrained sounds without distortion.

High rigidity titanium is used for the housing of ATH-CKR10 (¥43,200), and machining aluminum alloy is used for the housing of ATH-CKR9 (¥32,400).

Impedance: 12Ω Weight: 16g Cord: 1.2m Frequency band: 5~40,000Hz

I love Audiotechnica's sound, but the usability is awful.

so this is a push/pull amplifier (iPhone Shuffle etc) with a push/pull ear piece ==> should be more comfortable (less chaotic) to the ear-drum. I would expect sound to appear smoother, cleaner and more refined.

I like to hear it, but for that price, I'll stick to my Beats. Wouldn't trade them for the world.
