Audio-Technica recently announced two canalphones, part of their new "Solid Bass" line. Aimed squarely at Sony's "Extra Bass" MDR-XB20 and XB40, these AT's sports the "sub chamber mechanism," which supposedly enhances deep bass output.
Another design element that is quite notable about this new line is the ability to mount the tips either deeply or shallowly on the nozzle, which may be an interesting solution in allowing people to choose between a secure fit and better comfort.
Both products will be released in Japan on June 19. The CKS50 will come in at around ¥5000 (≈$53), while the CKS70 will retail at just under ¥9000 (≈$95).
