Audio-Technica’s latest earbuds snap together to save power

Audio-Technica's (A-T) presence at CES 2025 is pretty low-key this year, but it does have one clever trick up its sleeve when it comes to wireless earbuds: "Magnetic Switch" technology. The company's new ATH-CKS50TW2 (what a mouthful) take 2022's superb mega-bass ATH-CKS50TW earbuds and reimagine them with a new shape, a new charging case, and cool new feature -- if you don't have the charging case with you, just bring the two buds near each other and their embedded magnets will hold them together while powering them down. You can buy them right now for $149.

Not that you'll likely have to worry much about running out of power. Improving on their predecessor's already mammoth 20-hour-per-charge capacity, the CKS50TW2 get a claimed 25 hours per charge, with an additional 40 hours standing by in the charging case. That's totally nuts. To put it in perspective, the ATH-CKS50TW2 can last as long on a single charge as the Apple AirPods Pro 2 can last when you include their charging case's supply.

The lineup of thee Klipsch Music City party speakers.

Onkyo debuts its gorgeous Icon Series hi-fi components at CES 2025

The new Onkyo A-50 Network Integrated Amplifier.

Since the iconic audio company announced its comeback and rebranding in December, we've been waiting with bated breath to see what Onkyo has is store for us at CES 2025. The wait is finally over, and in addition to a range of beautiful-looking Creator Series powered speakers, the 77-year-old company today announced three new amplifiers dubbed the Icon Series. The Icon P-80 Network Preamplifier ($2,000), M-80 Power Amplifier ($2,000), and the A-50 Network Integrated Amplifier ($1,500) are all slated to hit stores in the fourth quarter of this year.

Aimed squarely at audiophiles, Onkyo says that the Icon Series is designed to "deliver powerful, pure sound through exquisitely designed modern chassis that house advanced technologies for superior audio performance," according to a CES 2025 press release. We're hoping to get eyes on the new hardware from the CES show floor, but the images they sent present some elegant-looking units.
