Audio-Technica Sonicfuel ATH-CKX9IS

Already a force to be reckoned with in the Hi-fi world, the SonicFuel represents Audio-Technica's first foray into the earphone market.

Featuring impressive 13.5mm drivers, it's the earphone's oddly shaped silicon moulds that make the first impression. Designed to make for an even snugger fit, the SonicFuel's sport finger-shaped rubber antennae designed to follow the contours of the human ear. Despite looking like some form of deep sea creature, these actually work, keeping the earpiece firmly in piece - making the SonicFuels great for jogging and other physical pursuits.

Other commute friendly features include inline controls on its two tone cable, as well as a mic for hands free calls and Audio-Technica's first earphones also boast impressive sound.

Good throughout frequencies but especially at home with deep bass, the SonicFuels are able produce music well with a slight bias towards the low end. Happiest being fed tracks such as Sub Focus' Torus, the SonicFuels offer good clarity and spaciousness but excel in the lower ranges - doing even the heaviest track justice.
