As the fog go sunny. To wake up in the light. ​
The moment you press the play button, begin to shine before the world's eyes. ​
Sound Reality series is its sound to deliver, the ​
Audio-Technica has been pursuing ​
"sound natural richness." ​
Sparkle emitted by the mid-high range with growth. High resolution sound of the building not to miss up to delicate nuances. Rather than emphasize the bass, the powerful in the richness of the sound. It can be expressed precisely because high-resolution, the essence of sound. The sound that I wanted to deliver much, here. Welcome, to the new sound space. ​

yes the ck100pro, thanks for the correction. To me the entire IM0X lineup couldnt come close to ck100pro. I own the im04 and i still think ck100pro is more better. 

I enjoy the ckr10 but it is rather lacking in midrange and dry. 



I had CK100Pro and then bought IM04. Ck100pro got sold.. IM04 retain same detailing but adds much more bass

I've always been a huge fan of the CKR9/10 and an all-round Audio-Technica fanboy, so I'm really eager to try the new CKR100 and CKR90. Love the design, too. I had a hard time deciding between the CKR10 and the IM04 at my last visit to Yodobashi Akiba, but chose the latter for its luscious mids. The price looks just about right as well.

Picts from the forwarding service warehouse. With average 4 days shipping to Indonesia (they will send it on Monday), maybe I will receive it in same week

At the side-bottom, you can see, still made in China, unlike IM03/04 which made in Japan. I don't care if still made in China because MSR7 is made in China too. I hope CKR100/90/70 don't have same fate like CKR10/9/7 (counterfeited)

They want give me this magazine, but I don't need it

 
Inside the packaging, this pict teasing me so much

I hope I'm not disappointed with the sound quality or have fitting issue (will buy ortofon / SpinFit eartips if needed), but I'm so disappointed because I don't have a chance to win FiiO X7 from the campaign

Will they be available outside Japan?
UK for example?
Interested in the CKR100.


I just love the ckr10. They are my favorites. Is this going to be a huge improvement?

From my understanding yes it will be,not only having a better build quality and removable cable,but i think they are using different drivers.
Reviews will tell soon how they sound.

Depends on what you consider to be huge

, sound is subjective after all.

Preliminary reviews on kakaku are mixed, with some indicating a lack of improvement (considering the great improvement in price lol).
