ATH-CKS90 was to display different colors in the left and right.
 
This is a good point that can determine right now.
However, CKS50 is printed in white on the same side effects in cost.
(ATH-CKS70 different colors printed on each side)

ATH-CK10 is clean mid - treble. But bass is lacking.
Purchased in order to compensate for this frustration.
 
To enhance the midrange and high frequencies CK10.
The fully equipped with bass from the midrange is a feeling that the opposite CKS90.

CKS90 has not adhered to.
It seems that only the slide with a tube through the cable installation method over the ear.
 
Left ATH-CKS90, ATH-CK10 is right.
I'm taking the same left side.
 

 
CK10 is a dual BA, but very small.
CKS90 is large but dynamic type. A marked contrast.
 
CKS90 is characterized by between the cable and housing.
This part may be hit in the ear.
Fit is great.
But I think that it is disturbing part of this base. (considerably more so under the ear)


This shape, I think the cable to reduce Touch-noize.
