Apple’s AirPods are one of the most defining products in recent history, and they have changed the headphones industry in the blink of an eye. Every smartphone vendor started making their own AirPods rivals, just as Apple kept adding new features to its own models and releasing improved variants.
Soon enough, smartphone vendors weren’t the only ones focusing on making worthy AirPods alternatives. Accessory makers and audio-centric firms joined in, looking to take advantage of the increasing popularity of AirPods-like earphones as most people transitioned to this type of audio solution.
It so happens that events like the Consumer Electronics Show currently underway in Las Vegas are the place to find interesting AirPods alternatives. And CES 2025 just delivered an incredibly compelling AirPods Pro rival. Maybe the name of the Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 is the only thing that doesn’t do this product justice. That’s because ATH-CKS50TW2 doesn’t just roll off the tongue like AirPods do.
