Got these to wear to the gym (I don't like earbuds). They are lightweight without being cheaply made. I was looking for something without too much "colored" sound. The model I really wanted would have taken a month to get, shipped from Japan. I checked out a number of brands and was surprised how many expensive headphones lacked in various frequencies, or over-emphasized them (especially the bass). The bass in these could be a little clearer. And as in many of the headphones I listened to, could use more clarity in the midrange frequencies. The high frequencies are clear without a piercing sound, something I really appreciate. I wish I could have found a pair as good as my monitoring headphones (Audio-Technica ATH-M50's) but these are fine. The pads don't quite fit around the whole ear (on-ear models seem to be popular right now) and could be uncomfortable for some.

I'm not really one to leave a written review, but I just had to say that these are by far the best portable headphones I've ever purchased in my life. I'm not really an audiophile, but I've gone through a good number of headphones in my past (with my last earbuds being Sennheiser CX 300 II).
After having tried their flagship M50X, I was satisfied enough to try a pair of ATH earbuds. While not quite the same, that quality signature carries out in these headphones. From the splash from the highs to the punch of the bass and that clarity in between, nothing seems to suffer. About the only negative thing I can say is that the wire does produce some rustling, but it's not hard to ignore it. The amount of sound they block out is worth mention too (obviously it's not 100%, but definitely more than your average pair). Comfort is also a plus.
I'm entirely satisfied. While I'm not familiar with the other models, I can say that these are worth what you pay for (possibly more). I'd recommend these to anyone in the market for quality ATH earbuds.

Introduction
First off, I'd like to thank the folks at Audio-Technica for providing a review sample of the CKS99.
Up for review is the mid-range entry into the Solid Bass line of in ear monitors from Audio-Technica, the CKS99. So, without further ado, let's get right to it, shall we?
Accessories: The CKS99 comes with four pairs of silicone eartips, a set of manuals and a leather carrying case.
Design and Build Quality: The housings of the CKS99 are plastic and similar to the CKS77 but feature a few nicer accents to differentiate it from the lower end model. Overall, the earphones seem nicely built with sturdy cables and black plastic housings with a soft touch feel to them around the edges where the housings come into contact with your outer ear.
Comfort: Like the CKS77, the fit of the CKS99 could be a point of contention for some but I was once again very pleased with the fit of the CKS99 as it was quite comfortable for me over long periods. The driver sat in my outer ear nicely without exerting any unpleasant pressure.
Isolation: These isolate very well for a vented dynamic IEM.
Microphonics: A tad unpleasant at times but nothing excessive.
Sound Quality
Burn in: The CKS99 was given 50+ hours of burn in time prior to review and no significant changes were detected.
Like the CKS77, the CKS99 features prominent bass, a clear but recessed midrange and prominent treble. To go into further detail on the sound signature and the ways in which it improves over its sibling, let's start at the bottom.
The bass is big and full with slightly more emphasis on the midbass than sub bass and merely okay extension. If there's a lot of midbass emphasis on a track, the midbass hump will become incredibly obvious and distracting. Like the CKS77, the bass has a tendency to step up on the lower midrange which can end up sounding rather "thick" as a result.
The midrange retains some of the "hollow" character from the CKS77 but is surprisingly forward in presentation. Instruments sometimes sound a bit recessed but vocals are front and center. The midrange as a whole is actually rather smooth and detailed. Claritiy is good and the presentation is reasonably linear. In terms of pure detail, the CKS99 is ahead of its sibling but not quite on the level of the RE-400.
Treble is a bit less even and the lower treble is occasionally prone to sibilance but on the whole, the airiness of the treble combined with its good presence and great extension make it rather pleasant on the whole.
Presentation wise, the CKS99 eschews a bit of the claustrophobic spaciousness that I noticed on the CKS77 and sounds just as open but even more intimate, with vocals being very forward in the presentation. This sounds rather odd, considering the slightly recessed nature of the midrange but there it is. Along with the big bass, vocals do a great job of standing out and being heard.
Conclusion
Now this is where things get interesting. The CKS99 retails for $150 while the CKS77 retails for $120. However, I've found the CKS99 for $93 and the CKS77 for $99. If you're in the market for either one, the CKS99 is easily the better pick.
Like the CKS77, however, the CKS99 also comes with some qualifiers. If you're looking for big bass and have the large-ish outer ear canals to fit them, the CKS99 is a pretty good choice for the price, even the higher than $99 retail price. If you're looking for a more rounded experience, that's what the RE-400 is for. The strength of the low end and the strong midbass emphasis may be a turn off for some audiophiles but the sound signature is more or less in line with Audio-Technica's "house sound" and is warm and pleasant across a number of genres and I found them surprisingly enjoyable for Jazz. On the whole, if you're looking for an earphone with big bass between $100 and $150, the CKS99 is a very solid choice.

I will begin by stating that these are my my first $25+ headphones that I have purchased.
The build quality on these is decent. They do feel cheap for the most part but they never broke on me. The cables do feel fragile.
The sound is actually great when using an equalizer. With the equalizer, you can get quite a lot of bass from these headphones. The bass is great on these, it doesn't overpower the rest of the music but it was enough for me, as a minor bass head. The mids and highs sound good as well.
I am returning this product mainly due to their comfort. I use them while doing homework and they do start making my ears feel pain after wearing them for an hour. They also don't isolate sound very well. You can hear everything around you unless you turn the volume up almost to max.
I would recommend these headphones if you love bass and won't be listening to these for hours at a time. They have great sound and if they were more comfortable and had better build quality I really could see myself using them for a long time.

I'll compare these to my Sennheiser HD600s and Skull Candy Crushers (another fun bass headphone)
I'll start with what makes it a 4 instead of a 5. Hurts the ears after an hour or two, really made for smaller Japanese heads, my friend who always complains about in ears being too big for his little ears said they fit over his ears perfectly (he's 5'2") Some headphones make everything that I play through them sound good. However, spotify streaming songs really come through poorly, even at 320 high quality streaming. The Sennheiser HD600 makes spotify sound brilliant, with the skull candy's everything sounds fun with the bass.
Where these headphones shine is really high quality mids and highs for a bass headphone, something that the skull candy crushers cant even begin to compete with. The bass isn't crazy, but it's good for bassheads like me who listen to EDM and are disappointed in the neutral approach, non sub bass shaking way that sennheiser treats it.
All the music that I have downloaded sounds great.
A great headphone, love the bass response, and the mids and highs are extrememly crisp for a bass headphone. A good purchase overall.
. The leather/faux leather whatever ear pads have gotten better since I've started wearing them, but the sort of tight fit is a little rough

Great while it worked, but that did not last long. Right ear stopped working for no reason, something must have been loose because taking it off and putting it back on made it work again. That was the first time it stopped working, second time now and the audio is not coming back on it's own. Terrible quality control for something of this price, I have had 25 dollar headphones actually hold up to stress not just go on their own.

I bought there earphones for comfort. I have been fond of headphones all my life. Sennheiser have been unbeaten for a long time. I use the Senheiser 598 to connect to the MacAir either by music of movies. I like earphones for travel that may give a nice balance between the voices, the middle frequencies and the bass. I tried the famous ATH IM02 (a friend as recomend them to me) they are also nice but they lack, somehow, the dose of bass that I love in jazz, rock, folk-rock. The voices in this last one are sometimes a little strident the middle range too thin. In jazz - I am listening to Cécile Savant record now - Cécile's voice is really in the centre of the soundstage, the piano on the left, the bass on the right and the drum a little behind. The timbre of the piano is absolutely amazing and the overall presentation is luxurious. They are light and very comfortable. Of course I haven't listen them for all a day. I do recommend them without hesitation.

I bought these in Tokyo Japan in hopes of finding something worth more than its price.
I literally spent about three hours roaming the earphone section of Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara Tokyo.
If you have been there, then you would know that this is an entire building of about 6 floors dedicated to all electronics, and virtually an entire floor dedicated to solely audio equipment and earphone type products. They hold basically every brand and every model that exists (at least to my knowledge).
I was there for hours plugging in my iphone to every single model of earbud type earphones playing the same song over and over and finally decided on this. The CKS1000 was much more expensive but the bass in my opinion was an overkill. Other brands like Bose, Shure, Beats, etc. were good but this was the one with the balance, comfort, and quality. Luckily in Japan they sold these cheaper than here in the USA and got them for about 7000yen (which translates I think to roughly somewhere between $65-75 USD).
I would give them a try. I had a pair of very expensive Shure ear phones (which i don't recall the model name but remember paying $150 for them) before but I prefer these much more. Sound quality in my opinion is more about the balance between quality and comfort and accessibility in my personal opinion. The Shures' were nice but too much "boost" in the lower bass spectrums, and the hardware was uncomfortable. The middle ring on this pair of CKS99i is meant to fit into your ear as a way to secure inside your ear anatomically and ends up being very comfortable.
The only thing that I worry about is the fact that like all earphones (or most) the rubber of the chord will eventually rip and expose the wiring which will result in failure of performance. This has not happened yet, but from the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be built physically too much different integrally and materially than many other earphones I've had with this problem. So fingers crossed that the rubber material and design will hold up to the actual electronic hardware.
Anyway, the bottom line is, I recommend this product. At least as a person who has gone through many earphones in my life I personally enjoy these and have been and will continue to use them daily.

I had the Audio-Technica ATH-CKS55 in-ear model for a long time. The problem I found with those headphones is that they broke fairly easily. I workout everyday on an ergometer so the headphones see constant sweat and motion while in my ears. I would like to lie and say they stay put in my ears, but they really do not. I have to adjust them every so often because they slip out of my ears. That being said, I am still giving this headset five stars. It is unrealistic to expect any set of headphones to stay put in your ears, so I expect some looseness in that regard.
However, the audio quality of these headphones entirely makes up for any slippage during workouts. The audio quality of these headphones is a problem - a problem for this reason: once you listen to these headphones, every other set of in ear headphones sounds horrendous. It makes gaming, listening to EDM and other "high-impact" audio activities very engaging. The audio quality of these headphones literally BLOWS away any competition, especially given the price. I've tried many sets of in-ear headphones (Klipsch, Bose, Beats) and these are by far the best set ever. Listening to audio through this headset is immersive, and you can hear every detail of the songs.
Now I'll be honest. I'm not an audiophile, I have no interest in these headphones for their minute technical advantages. I wanted a pair of headphones that makes the music come alive in my ears, and these headphones accomplish that. I've bought over three pairs of the CKS55's and I have absolutely no intention of migrating away from this form of headset anytime soon.
TLDR: Amazing audio quality, immersive sound, but don't expect to do karate with these headphones and still have them in your ears after you are done.

Very good headphones. Very good sound quality, comparable to the MTX-50s (which I also own) but with more bass.
Overall for pure sound i would pick the MTX-50s, unless I'm listening to more bassy music (like faithless for example).
But these headphones feel much smaller and look much better for walking around town than the MTX50s.

There are superb headphones for the cost, and I have had much more expensive Beyerdynamics. The bass is not overpowering, but of course they ARE tuned for bass, so this really is a perfect balance for people who don't get enough base with standard phones. They are comfortable and the materials seem strong, although the plastic outers are a *little* less than solid-feeling. I use these for every genre, and they really excel with hip-hop and r&b. Good, balanced sound, with great bass definition, especially for the cost. Best value around, IMO. (I bought 5 different pairs for a comparison and these were the best.) I suggest splurging, as the cheaper ones were well below these in bass output and overall clarity. Seems like AT is really coming along.

after ditching my pair of super old apple earphones I decided to get this nice pair of headphones seeing that it was super cheap at only 79 pounds original price 250 pounds. Once I got the headphones and tried them the sound quality seemed exactly same as my old apple earphones :/ and its kinda heavy.

If you want to imagine yourself in a mystical land of animals that eats delicious treble and excretes explosive bass, then get these headphones. You won't regret it. I honestly don't think any other earphones can reproduce this amount of bass while maintaining an above standard of vocal clarity. By "above standard" I mean it's still very very great, but not amazing. If you are wanting earphones that focus on clarity with decent bass then get the HIFIMAN RE-600 or the upper tier Shure SE line (That is if it fits your budget). And yes there are others but that will get you in the right direction.
If you are a Bass Heavy listener, you really can't go wrong with this pair. It can really do it all, but it comes down to what you listen to mostly.

This headphone has so many fake! so be careful where you buy from. I bought mine directly from Amazon and it was delivered exactly the date Amazon stated. I have own it for almost 2 weeks of extensively usage. I play games, watch movies and of cause listening to music. This review is based on my 2 weeks experience and i tested it on my ipod Touch 5 with audio forge equalizer installed in it,which i consider as the best equalizer for the iPod touch 5.
firstly, i was shocked when i opened the WS77 package and found out that there were no accessories in it. For a headphone marketed as portable with no pouch, carrying case, 1/4 inch adaptor in the box, i find it weird considering the $121 prize tag on it. The design is not the most beautiful i have seen and not at all ugly..., but it sit somewhere in the middle which is very adequate. The headset is lighter than i though and covers the whole of my ear, i wore them for about six hours to tell you how comfortable they are, though a little sweat as expected. This headphone is made of a cheap plastic but where i find very appealing is the aluminum ear cups faceplate and the shiny chrome Audio-Technica symbol on it. Some will find the cable too short and others will not. It will also interest you to know that the Y shaped cable is not detachable. Overall the design is just average but personally i feel cheated spending $121 for this quality of design. So let's just sweep this section aside and dive into where your hard earned cash! was really spent.
SOUND QUALITY: Audio-Technica marketed this ATH-WS77 as a solid bass head phone and that will definitely make the non bass fans shy away from this baby! but that is not the case here. Burn in is necessary, and from the first minutes i just told myself...., "THIS IS IT". How Audio-Technica perfectly harmonized the bass, mid and high in this can, really deserves a mighty applause! The bass response is unmatched by similarly priced headphones from Beats by Dre Solo HD's, the Sony Extra Bass line and the highly rated V-MODA Crossfade LP's.The bass extends extremely low without roll off, it's extremely punchy and hits hard if it wants to..., what a flexibility! The midrange is relatively equivalent to the bass in terms of prescence and is very warm, but over all the ATH-WS77's presents the mid range tones as well as the vocals, sparkles and sibilance at the upper end very very well and the separation too, is fantastic! and for sound stage, this is one of the best closed cans i have seen.
A typically bass headphones, tend to be all about the bass and less about the rest of the frequencies, and even with that many bass headphones possess bass that is muddy, bloated or both but this ATH-WS77 strikes you with this unique calmness and anxiety that makes your veins lights up! is really hard to put in word but he fact that Audio Technica was able to achieve such amazing bass response yet maintain such an outstanding clarity is unbelievable! Yes i highly recommend this headphone for those that are still searching to find the best headphones that is worth the prize.

Some will find the cable too short and others will not. It will also interest you to know that the Y shaped cable is not detachable. Overall the design is just average but personally i feel cheated spending $121 for this quality of design. So let's just sweep this section aside and dive into where your hard earned cash! was really spent.
SOUND QUALITY: Audio-Technica marketed this ATH-WS77 as a solid bass head phone and that will definitely make the non bass fans shy away from this baby! but that is not the case here. Burn in is necessary, and from the first minutes i just told myself...., "THIS IS IT". How Audio-Technica perfectly harmonized the bass, mid and high in this can, really deserves a mighty applause! The bass response is unmatched by similarly priced headphones from Beats by Dre Solo HD's, the Sony Extra Bass line and the highly rated V-MODA Crossfade LP's.The bass extends extremely low without roll off, it's extremely punchy and hits hard if it wants to..., what a flexibility! The midrange is relatively equivalent to the bass in terms of prescence and is very warm, but over all the ATH-WS77's presents the mid range tones as well as the vocals, sparkles and sibilance at the upper end very very well and the separation too, is fantastic! and for sound stage, this is one of the best closed cans i have seen.
A typically bass headphones, tend to be all about the bass and less about the rest of the frequencies, and even with that many bass headphones possess bass that is muddy, bloated or both but this ATH-WS77 strikes you with this unique calmness and anxiety that makes your veins lights up! is really hard to put in word but he fact that Audio Technica was able to achieve such amazing bass response yet maintain such an outstanding clarity is unbelievable! Yes i highly recommend this headphone for those that are still searching to find the best headphones that is worth the prize.

Dear Audio-Technica I feel betrayed. After requesting the replacement of the First Set received (thanks to Amazon that proceeded with great seriousness' in just 4 days) I tested the Second Set and the judgment does not change. This model does not satisfy the desires of those who love the GREAT BASS that made Audio-Technica "special". I add one Star at my previous review because the sound reproduction of HIGHS is clear even when the very powerful VOLUME reach the maximum. But the performances are not generally very exciting. I think this model ATH-CKR9 has to be revised and improved. I was forgetting... the headphones are uncomfortable to wear and not well designed. Who knows if it is one of the causes of unsatisfactory Sound Effect?

I use headphones for exercise on a daily basis so I needed ones with good sound quality. These headphone exceeded my expectations. The music really comes alive when you have these in. Another reason I really like these is because they do not fall out of your ear with a lot of movement.

The 3.5mm jack that connects at the mic caused the left earbud to cut out frequently. I also found these earbuds uncomfortable, as they are designed in a way that hard plastic Will be in contact with your ears.
I am not an audiophile, but I own many pairs of earbuds, and tested these by quickly switching from one pair to another.
I compared these to Bose IE2, skull candy ink'd 2, urbeats, and skull candy 50/50. The sound quality was SLIGHTLY better than the $12 ink'd 2, and slightly better than the urbeats, which IMO sound muffled. The Bose IE2 are much more comfortable, cheaper, and sound slightly better. The Skull Candy 50/50s cost 1/4 the price of these headphones, and sounded significantly better to my ears. I asked 3 family members to compare the audio quality of these headphones to the ink'd 2 ($12 headphones), and all three felt that the Audotechnicas were only a slight improvement.
It honestly baffles me that these are rated so highly. They are cumbersome to fit, uncomfortable to wear, average sounding, and very expensive. None of the headphones I compared these to are great headphones, but I would recommend any of them over these.

Pretty good earphones. Little too much bass initially. The ear buds can be moved outward a bit on posts, per instructions. No mention anywhere about how this effects sound quality. Will see how they do over longer period of time and play with the earbud placement to see if there is any change in sound quality. Stayed in the ears well. More cord noise than some. Instructions lacking in some respects. I suspect that nobody at Audio-Technical could figure out how the bud placement on post changes sound, so nothing was said in instructions. Probably just a bogus feature that does nothing. If anyone has good results with this feature, let me know.
Overall a decent set of inner ear headphones that appear well made.

Best in ear headphones ever. Worth every penny. I bought these and the bass heavy Audio-Technica's to see if I would prefer it over these. Heck no. The CKR9's are some of the best earbuds you can get in this price range. Lows, mids, and highs are clear. My favorite part is the bass. Not too heavy, but super clear. These may need a break-in period. If you love the ATH-M50's, you like these as well.

These are great for every genre of music! Of course they are great for electronic and hip hop, Three 6 Mafia/Project Pat sub-bases are silky smooth and mercilessly powerful, and the kick drums fire off with sniper rifle precision. Kick drums in classic rock are astonishing! These have the ability to "slow move", to push a lot of air with slow vibration of the diaphragm (like vintage speakers where you can actually watch the woofer move back and forth). Bass guitars and fiddles have a wonderful textured and detailed mid-presence, that doesn't mask much or any of the other instruments. Basically the bass is perfect in every way!
Like I said in the title, these are great with Beethoven. The mids are very dry, coupled with fluid bass and treble, I can hear bows on strings, I can hear breath in woodwinds! I'm hearing mid-detail in cymbals I've never heard with ANY sound system! The soundstage is the BIGGEST I've ever heard in ANY set of headphones, which is obviously good for symphonic stuff. The bass presence is a little pervasive for classical, but not too bad and it helps define the massive size of the soundstage.
All of these factors carry over to classic rock very well. Listening to Steely Dan with these is like a brand new divine Steely Dan experience!
I love these the most with heavy metal! In Metallica's "...And Justice for All" album I can actually hear mid-detail in the distorted guitars (much to the chagrin of James Hetfield's efforts). In Devildriver songs I can...hear detail! Great band but too fast/sophisticated for most sound systems to pick up much of anything; they can only get a gist of what Devildriver is doing, these earbuds capture almost everything!
In doing head-to-head comparisons I've found that these sound a lot like my vintage Beyerdynamic DT 990 600s. Not quite as much detail but better clarity, and otherwise it's practically a 1-1 comparison.
Okay I'm done.

These headphones are amazing. They have high definition while at the same time offering plenty of bass. If you want proof, turn on a 40 HZ sine wave and crank the volume up. You'll notice that they vibrate around on your head, but the sound is never distorted.
To the people who claim that they don't have the bass you wanted, notice that the product lineup is called "solid bass," not "face-melting, seizure inducing, head-banging, world-ending bass that scares away hurricanes."
These are not beats headphones, and in my opinion that's for the better. They offer bass in respectable quantities with a respectable quality but REMAIN TRUE TO THE MUSIC.

Love it! Very few sound leak. I can wear it in public place without worry about disturbing other people. Sound cancellation is not excellent but I find it quiet practical in office where headphone is allowed. It won't bother other people, while you might have chance to catch your name when someone need a urgent help from you. The ear pad is a little thin for me but I think I can get used to it. Some ATH headphones will come with a travel case but this one doesn't. I am not a musical profession, I don't need it has perfect sound quality. In fact, you cannot expect a better sound at such an affordable price.

I have only had the headphones for a few days now and they are certainly impressive to say the least! I started off playing some songs with heavier bass to see how the driver reproduces it. It was very smooth and clean bass, not overwhelming or boosted. The mids are quite pronounced at times, but nothing out of the ordinary. The highs are crisp and clean without any distortion, even at full volume. I have yet to truly burn these in, but I will be listening to it through the burn in period with music that I generally listen to. This way, I can hear the changes over time in contrast to using the white noise method and letting it burn in constantly for 50+ hours or so. I will update when I feel they are truly at their peak performance.
Update 11/14/14
The "leather"(imitation leather) carrying case has started to crack and peel on the bottom. However, the case structure is fine.

The sound quality is top notch. For the price it rivals headphones hundreds of dollars higher than it. It's a very rich and detailed sound, and the bass is not overpowering.
Comfort is exceptional for a set of in ear headphones. They come with 4 sizes of silicon plugs, they are durable and very easy to swap and clean, with a resealable plastic case included. The dome just above the earpiece itself rests comfortably in my ears and creates a very secure fit. They do a fantastic job at blocking out outside noise and I can wear these while running and at the gym without the fear of them falling out.
Also I need to mention the case they provide with these headphones. It is made from leather and is actually a reinforced box with a magnetic clasp. It is great for travel as I don't have to worry about them being crushed in my bag, and there is also enough room inside it to pack away the additional earpieces as well.
If you are in the market for a top quality pair of in-ear headphones, keep these on your list for sure.

I like Audio-Technica headphones. I have a pair of ATH-M50S (the straight cord) phones and use them daily.
I wanted to move up from my UE200s and read countless reviews on the internet which gave conflicting views on just about every model of earphone out there. Then it dawned on me; if I already trust a company for good sound, why not just take the plunge and go with them.
When these arrived they had the middle sized buds on. I tried the phone on and the sound wasn't good and they didn't sit well - they would ease out of the ear. After reading I found that there are two seatings for a bud. So I took the bud off and pushed it back on on the outer seating. WHAT A CHANGE! They sat comfortably and the sound was way better. In subsequent testing I tried the slightly smaller bud [there are four bud sizes], where the sound went lighter and the phones felt a little loose. So I tied the larger buds. That's me. The sound is full and the buds are comfortable and don't move. I'm not a very big person but obviously some parts of me are larger than average. Ahem.
One of the most unexpected findings is how much the Equalizer settings change the heard music. With the old UE200s each change of setting just seemed to vary the mediocrity. Now there is a very clear and obvious change in sound with every change of setting in a computer/MP3 player EQ.
The size of the units had me wonder when I first saw them advertised. Thankfully they have no problems in wearing, and the clever angled design makes them sit and feel great.
The phones are not noise isolating. This was also something I wanted so that I could be reasonably aware of the world around me. Having said that, if you listen to music with moderate to high volume it will tend to drown out everything around as they have direct access to your ears.
They come with a case. I find it to be too large. Earphones are meant to be portable and the case is just too fat to put in to a pocket. It's not such a problem when wearing casual clothes that are less 'fitting'.
In music so far I have found them excellent for Jazz and Carlos Klieber's delivery of Beethoven. With Rock they have been great as long as the source is of good quality. With some of the lesser quality MP3 tracks the sound can be too bass heavy and thumping, needing changes to the EQ settings. So the better the source the better the sound - and that's how it should be.

I love Audio Technica's headphones, and ATH-CKS99 is not an exception.
Even they call it 'Solid Bass' I can not say it has too much or overwhelming bass, no, I think it has just right.
I found these headphones well rounded and suitable practically for all my music. You definitely would need decent source of music , personally I do not consider Apple products eligible for such title. Get a nice player - Cowon, Fiio and these headphones would shine. They are not hard to drive, so dedicated headphone amp would be too much.
Regardless they look and pictures they are super comfortable. I have weird ears and there are very few in-ear headphones which I can use without irritation or discomfort, these CKS99 so far best ones.

If you're an audiophile, you'll appreciate the superior precision and detail in the mids and highs compared to the cks77. You'll probably be turned off by the boomy bass (present in all the cks models except the cks1000), if you're not turned off simply by the focus on bass (present in all cks models).
If you're not an audiophile, chances are excellent you'll love the cks77 as much as these (for less, no less).
These are excellent earphones, don't get me wrong, but the greatness of the cks77 model kinda renders this model insignificant...

The headphones, as marketed, do have solid bass. It's not overpowering or anything, but it has a good presence. The overall sound quality is nice and clear. They were a tiny bit tight and rigid when I first got them, but that problem went away in a couple days. Other than that, they are really comfortable, and sometimes I even forget they're there. Only complaint is that the cord could be maybe a foot longer. I've had these headphones for a couple months now, and they've held up great. They survived my in my backpack squished up against a bunch of luggage during a few days of traveling. That's not to say you should smash them against a wall or anything, but you know. I also like how these headphones look. They're not a fashion accessory or anything, like Beats or SOL Republic, but they're attractive.

I play bass at church and plug these into a Behringer Powerplay P16 and these work really well for hearing myself and the rest of the band. The bass is very rich, but the key is getting a great seal. For normal music listening, I usually find myself EQing the highs down quite a bit because they are a little too much for my tastes. I love the little leather storage case that comes with them as well, nice for transport. Overall though, for the price I paid ( I waited til they went on sale ), i'm very pleased.

I have had these for about one month now. Still great.
I got these in Japan for around $70. These are the best headphones I have ever owned. Of course the shape and size of the ear buds have a big part of that. With these in and sound off, the noise canceling is great. And when they are on, I can not hear anything going on outside.I have a $60 pair of over the ear headphones and the PS3 wireless headset. These earbuds are the best.
After charging, it paired to my android Galaxy Note and all the buttons worked with all my music and video apps. I listened to Afro Blu from the album Black Radio. Then from Soundcloud I listened to Elhae- All Away. "Elhae - All Away" has some pretty deep bass, and it sounded great. Listened to some Bone Thugs n Harmony. All the base is there. I really feel like I am hearing music again.
APT-x works. My phone does not have it, so watching videos, the audio lags. But my iMac does have apt-x and there is no lag.
My one complaint. The cable is not long enough to clip to my belt, but too long to clip to my coller. It does not really clip to my shirt unless I wear a polo. I usually clip it to my messenger bag strap. When I work out, I run it inside my shirt and clip it to my sleeve. Same when I am on my bicycle trainer. And it is great to watch a movie on my computer while on the bicycle trainer and have good sound over the hum of my rollers.
This comes with a nice case, 4 sizes of earbuds, and a usb charger. The packaging is nice, but once you take everything out it would be a pain to put back in.
Instructions are all in Japanese. The pairing button is next to the charging port behind a panel on the bottom. There is a slider that locks the buttons one way, and is on/off in the other direction. You have to hold it in position for a second for the on/off to register, and it will give a beep when it registers. I turned the volume on my phone all the way up, and then used the volume on the unit to adjust the amp volume. I can never turn it all the way up. The lights blink to tell you stuff.
I get almost 10 hours of use these and I use an app called Bluetooth Headset Battery. It simply has a timer or you can set a count down for whenever you use one of your bluetooth devices (you can have up to like 8 I think).
Great product, I hope the price comes down in the states.

The CKR-9 are the most accurate and comfortable IEMs that I have ever owned and I have owned quite a few. (The CKR-10 may be slightly better but they are too rich for my blood at over $400 a pair.)
If you mostly listen to hip-hop and dance music you may prefer the CKS-77 as the bass response will knock your socks off at half the price of the CKR9.
I have both but haven't touched the 77s since I received the CKR-9. I love them!

Sound is okay. Not too bassy, but still packs plenty. But I prefer my V-Moda LP2 over the ATH seeing how its a similar price to it. Unless you get a great deal (I got mine for $65) I'd say think about purchasing the slightly better/ expensive ATH-WS99.

These are most definately high quality audio headphones from the top shelf if comes to sound. Not only sound spectrum is rich in broad frequencies but was I was about was it heavy bass with a punch that delivers incredibly suboofer like expirience. Of course you need high quality music with very very lowe frequencies like My favourite dub step music or good bass electro and then this headphones really rock. Bass is solid n dominant if comes to bass music but also there is incredible amount of mid n highs delivers really great n impressive sound expirience.
But there are ups n downs. Headset earpads actually big n stylish are not covering ear n speakers are not ergonomically bend like other models inside the ear chamber. The resault is that after a few hours it become inconvinient. I wish inner pads could be a bit longer in hight n as d same in width just like sony model mdr10 which i also bought and these have perfectly fit earpads that after long hours gives the weighless feel. You can't say that about WS99 but if comes to sound quality and heavy bass what i was really after this sony headset produce sound that sound like broken speakers in lowe volume compare to WS99.
And i like the design yet one cable could be a good improvement n most definately undetachable cable its a minus.
