Audio-Technica makes some of the best-reviewed over-ear headphones we carry — both for pro studio use and reference listening. The ATH-CM2000Ti headphones fit that same level of performance into a portable in-ear design. These high-grade earbuds rest just inside your ear, rather than deep into the canal. Audio-Technica's large 15.4mm drivers deliver an oversized soundstage with precise imaging and rich, full-range detail. The ATH-CM200Ti headphones include two cables, one with 4.4mm balanced headphone plug. Sony developed this new industry standard connection for balanced headphone operation, and I've seen more and more companies adopt it. This connection promises to cut down on signal noise and distortion, and you'll find it on several Sony high-res music players , the Sony's TA-ZH1ES headphone amp , and the Sennheiser HDV 820 headphone amp . For a more traditional headphone connection, Audio-Technica includes another cable with an unbalanced 3.5mm mini plug.
