Audio-Technica ATH-CKD30C USB-C In-Ear Headphones

The Audio-Technica ATH-CKD30C USB-C In-Ear Headphones deliver direct digital audio from compatible USB Type-C devices without charging or wireless pairing. Available in Black and White variants, they combine a closed-back dynamic design, newly developed 10 mm drivers, an integrated DAC, and wired connectivity for dependable everyday listening, calls, video, and gaming.

Designed for computers, smartphones, and tablets with USB-C connectivity, the ATH-CKD30C supports audio up to 96 kHz and 24-bit resolution. Two selectable EQ modes adapt the headphones to different tasks: Bass Boost emphasizes low-frequency impact for music and entertainment, while Clear Voice improves speech intelligibility during calls. The wired connection also minimizes the interruptions and latency associated with wireless listening.

A cable-mounted microphone and remote provide convenient control over playback, track selection, volume, calls, and supported voice assistants. The hybrid cable combines a tangle-resistant wave section with fabric wrapping for easier storage and handling. Four sizes of antibacterial silicone ear tips help optimize fit, while the lightweight earpieces and closed construction support comfortable listening with reduced sound leakage during commuting, work, and everyday use.
