Audio, Bluetooth, Earphones, Headphones, Music, Review, Speakers 0

All of the controls are in exactly the same place as on the USB model. The only main variation is there is a mini-audio jack output on the Bluetooth turntable instead of a USB port.

Audio-Technica SonicPro ATH-CKR10 In-Ear Headphones – Review

Audio, Earphones, Headphones, iPad, iPhone, iPod, iTunes, Macintosh, Music, Review 1

The Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10 are, as claimed by Audio-Technica, the first dual phase push-pull drivers.

Prior to writing this review I was unaware of push-pull drivers and their intended effect, and now I agree that ATH-CKR10 do achieve this effect very well.
