Product Description
If an ultra-precise audio experience is what you’re after, the Audio-Technica ATH-CKR100IS IEMs are sure to please. Their unique dual-phase push-pull system works like this: two facing 13-millimeter drivers generate phase-aligned audio signals, which are then mixed to compensate for each driver’s inefficiencies Read More

Sorry for the late input, have been busy using these
Absolutely superb sounding iems, audiostage is so good that I often forget I'm wearing iems at all... only complaints I have is that theres some microphonics (not sure if the right term for the clicking sound I'm hearing from the right driver) when moving around, have to see if the exchange cable I bought for just in case the stock cable breaks (which it did sadly today, left channel went out) fixes that problem.
I truly have enjoyed these iems alot, they have been in almost daily use some 8hours a day and can hardly complain about the cable breaking because all other earplugs I have had have, given out on me in 3months on average (cheap ones I have to admit). I do wear them at work and keep my phone in trouser pocket and often take the phone out quite often so the cable has been stressed quite alot.
The Titanium housing seems very durable and the paint seems durable also, there's not a single scratch or dent in them (I have been careful with the drivers them selves, the cable not so much) And they sit tightly in my ears with the stock tips... don't remember for sure if I'm using the small ones, havent fallen even once out of my ear in any circumstances.
Highly recommend these if you can find them somewhere, easily worth the 200€ it cost me to have them delivered to finland, the drop itself was 160dollars or so (damn vat) Have seen these on european amazon going for about 180€ but at the time of the drop the cheapest here were 280€
Anyone know where I can find the stock cable separately, couldn't find them anywhere with a quick google ( not even on technicas own site, at the time of the drop they were 70€ or so on their website if I remember correctly)
NVM found the cable being sold on the USA technica site but for 120dollars which is just too much especially because of the taxes and such, what a shame, really liked the stock cable, especially the durability considering it is seemingly thin and "flimsy" looking cable.

What does everyone think of theirs?
I have high suspicion these are fakes. The print and quality of packaging, cable material, etc, all seem wrong.
I will try to purchase a second pair to compare but these don't seem like genuine ATH products.

I can tell you, Bill Poteet is the real deal and and man of incredible integrity. Several years ago I bought a pair of AT3000 Wireless Microphone systems from a large online retailer. One of the power supplies stopped functioning after a short period and instead of writing for service, I decised to call Audio Technica and I'll never forget it. It was Bill who answered the phone and I had a great conversation with him at the conclusion of which he asked for my address and sent me 2 Power Supplies even though I needed one and even though I didnt ask. Every time I use that wireless mic system (which is often because I am a professional conference speaker) I think back to Bill and that conversation as I plug in the power supply. It's not often you have a customer service experience like the one I got from Bill and when I saw his reply and his contact details, I thought I'd weigh in. If Bill says "it's so...", It's so...

I'm seeing a lot of requests o n here for reviews of this CKR100IS. I don't own these but I do own AT's CKS1100iS. They have 12.5mm push-pull drivers almost similar to the purported 13mm drivers here. The basic specs of my CKS1100iS are almost identical to these: 5-40kHz, 200mW input, 50ohms impedance, 108dB sensitivity, same A2DC connectors.
The majority of my audio equipment is IEM's including Empire Hermes VI, Noble Sage Silvers, Vibro Earphone, Campfire Lyra II. I think I have some good IEM's to compare to these CKR100IS's.
I can tell you of all my IEM's, the AT's are my bass monsters. Right out of the box with no EQ modifications, these are severely bottom heavy. That may work for the most avid bassheads, but for me I have to juice up the high frequencies with whatever EQ I have on my various sources. Once I do lift the high end up though, these are stupid clear and can be really, really fun to listen to. However, the bass is just so damn big that I find I can only last an hour or two of listening to the CKS1100iS before I have to take a break or switch to another IEM.
From a manufacturing perspective, my CKS's feel really well made with nice materials, if that's important to you. I hope this helps gives a little insight.

their website says the impedance is 12 ohm;

Here is 80 ohm. Which is true ?

I own ATH-CKR90. The stock cable is suck which is the same as this ATH-CKR100. I do recommend to get a new cable.

I have never tried CKR100, and CKR90 is the only IEM I own at the moment. Although I have almost 10 full-size headphones, I have no experience with many IEM, so it is hard for me to say.
CKR 90 has the sound signature of ATH, if I compare to my old ATH-IEM (I forget the item code) and ATH-DSR7BT, quite bassy to my ears. If you like bass, you will love it.
Before changing a new cable, I actually regretted buying CKR90. The high was so dried; it was like not having enough power to drive the higher frequency driver (CKR90 and CKR100 have 2 drivers) However, after getting a new cable, I love them very much. The high is a lot clearer. CHR90 sound smoother and more energetic. Earmax-cable provides a sweeter sound ( I am not sure if it is a correct term, but it is not warmer). Bass is a little less pronounced (in a good way for me). You may get a different sound with different cable, so I cannot comment on that. I think CKR90 has decent drivers, but their stock cable is just suck, and ATH may want you to buy thier upgrade cable, but you have other choices.
PS: I bought CKR90 for traveling and due to the impression with my old ATH-IEM which can last for 7-8 years. Their cable was broken, so I chose CKR90 because they have detachable cable. The cans of CKR90 are metal with elegant and solid quality build. I personally like the quality of ATH products. I think they will be able to last for more than 10 years without a problem with broken cable.

seth_kongI know it's been a while since you posted this, but I wanted to thank you for the cable advice! I ordered an Earmax cable for my CKR90 because the stock cable is just so terrible. I'm not that happy with the sound, so we'll see how things turn out when the cable arrives.

Would love to hear reviews from people who own these. Most of AT's push-pull IEMs that I've heard have lots of bass bloat (IM50 and IM70); I wonder if this takes over its predecessor instead (ATH-CKR10).
