Share: Audio Technica Bloom ATH-CKF300

I already reviewed these a while back, raving on how much I loved them. Too bad the little ones at home (Eeek! Mice!!!) liked them too and chewed on the wire. One side still works but I’d rather have a fully-working unit so I got myself a new one from our non-cash rewards program at work. Yup! I didn’t pay cash for these.

Now my hubby requested that I try getting a non-girly colour so I got it in gold. Hehe! Aren’t they pretty?

They’re not entirely the same though. The wires are thicker. The pin ends in an L-shape harder plastic. It’s a more durable product.

More importantly, the sounds are clearer, the different instruments being a joy to listen to. I will never veer from buying Audio Technica ever again. It just gets better and better. I’ve got my sights on the SJ11 for hubby’s birthday.
 

 

The old ones came in a round tin box with soft foam inside for a container. The new ones came in a carton matchbox. I don’t really care much about them as the wires would obviously be too hard to handle with said cases and I still use an old case from a different brand that lets me wind the wires without knotting but I appreciate the thought.

Really, such eye candy.

Love: Audio Technica Bloom

I initially bought the Audio Technica earphones because of a love for a certain Masuda Takahisa. If you don't follow JPop, you wouldn't be able to relate. He was wearing a pair of white headphones in Gachibaka and they just looked so cool.

Why do I love these? It's not the bass. It's not the clarity. It's not even the pink design. It's because I found them in a pocket of a pair of pants I've already put in the wash and put in the spin cycle and  they still work. This is a true story. By the way, I have no idea about bass stuff but I also swear on the clarity of the sounds. The pink has not tarnished after more than a year.
