A line of wireless sports in-ear headphones with a reinforced design and basic water protection. The most common rating is IPX5, which means these headphones are splash-proof and won't suffer if accidentally dropped into water. As befits sports headphones, representatives of this series are securely fixed on the head thanks to flexible temples that cling directly behind the ear. In other cases, massive earhooks are used instead of temples, which are actually part of the body.


Despite the fact that the line includes both conventional and wireless headphones, Audio-Technica decided to abandon touch controls, using conventional mechanical buttons or a classic remote control that is attached to a wire. There is usually no noise cancellation, so talking is only possible in a relatively quiet environment. In some cases, there is an additional microphone with a hear-through function, which makes it possible to clearly hear everything that happens around.

Perhaps the main difference between this series and other sports headphones is the approach to sound. The Audio-Technica brand has always been associated with professional and audiophile acoustics, which makes it seem like the Japanese just can't afford to make headphones that sound so-so. For example, when the first TWS headphones appeared on the horizon, the Japanese decided to try to replace the classic dynamic emitters with reinforcing ones. This allowed them to give out deep bass unusual for TWS models, maintain high clarity of the sound picture and at the same time not neglect detail.
