Crystal Griffith, Audio-Technica Consumer Marketing Manager, noted, “Our new in-ear headphones were created to let listeners experience more of their favorite music – more clarity, detail, and impact – and above all, more musical enjoyment.” The Audio-Technica in-ear headphones are perfect for listening to music anywhere – at home, in the dorm or office, whether exercising, jogging, traveling on a plane or train or anywhere users want to enjoy their music. All the headphones are small and ultra-lightweight for easy portability, and all models come with three interchangeable sizes of soft ear tips (small, medium and large) for a customized fit with maximum comfort and acoustic isolation. Though compact, Audio-Technica’s new in-ear headphones deliver dynamic, detailed and expansive full-range sound.
