Two years ago I was told by YUIN that "pk" means kick everybody's ass. At that time they were kicking all china earphones' ass.
"PK" actually come from the famous Chinese Super Voice Girls Show, an American Idol-like singing contest. YUIN use "PK" as their earbud name because they believe that PK1 will never lose when people using PK1s doing A/B test against any earphones.
PK: Player kill, the term used by China's online game players to mean games where you kill the other players. PK has been used on Super Voice Girls to refer to the knockout part of the show: after a round of singing, the competitor who gets the fewest SMS votes and another one who judges decide has made too many mistakes are sent to the PK Stage; one is eliminated in a one-to-one competition.
