Audio-Technica ATH-CKM50 Inner Ear Earphones

[Starsky5000]

Hey anyone know anything about these Audio-Technica ATH-CKM50 Inner Ear Earphones?

Here they are:
AudioCubes.com - Audio-Technica ATH-CKM50 Inner Ear Earphones -

Are they good?

I have the Audio Technica CK7 and they are very good canal phones. Are these better than the CK7?

Thank You.

I tried the ATH-CKM50 briefly, and found them to be easier to fit than the CK7. The CKM50 has more of a "V"-shaped equalization than the CK7, emphasizing bass and treble - great if that's the kind of sound you like.

Since you already have the CK7, why not try something else? For the price of the CKM50, I'd pick the Yuin PK3 or OK3. You can get the Yuin OK3 at a great price now from a Head-Fi Sponsor in NY:

Yuins will have less isolation than the CKM50, but I think they sound better. Never tried the OK3 (which has a quasi-IEM mode)
