STOW, OH, October 17, 2011 — Audio-Technica now offers two headphones with communications and device control capability: the ATH-CK400i In-ear Headphones with Integrated Control for iPhone, iPad and iPod, and the ATH-BT03 Sound/Phone Bluetooth In-ear Headphones for Bluetooth smartphones and compatible devices.

The ATH-CK400i (SRP: $59.95) and ATH-BT03 (SRP: $79.95) provide music playback, the ability to answer phone calls over the headphones, and integrated device control for music playback functions including play, pause, fast forward, rewind and more.

The Audio-Technica ATH-CK400i headphones offer a sonic upgrade for iPod, iPhone and iPad listeners, along with the ability to answer calls and control music playback functions with the touch of a button. Available in six appealing colors (blue, red, black/green, pink, black and white), the ATH-CK400i features an inline microphone and controller that support select Apple products. The microphone has an omnidirectional pickup pattern (it picks up sound from all directions) and is designed for high-quality, intelligible response, enabling the wearer’s voice to be clearly transmitted without having to speak directly into the mic.

The ATH-CK400i employs powerful 8.8 mm drivers and is supplied with XS, S, M and L-sized ear tips to provide a comfortable fit for any wearer, and comes with a convenient cord wrap.

The Audio-Technica ATH-BT03 Bluetooth stereo headphones provide clear music reproduction and hands-free calling from a Bluetooth-compatible device. Users can answer and end calls, control volume and redial from the ATH-BT03’s compact controller, which also lets users play, stop, fast forward, rewind or skip through music and podcasts.

The ATH-BT03 supports Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP), Headset (HSP), Hands-Free (HFP) and Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP) profiles. Available in black/red, black or white, the headphones come with a USB charging cable and XS, S, M and L size ear pieces.

The ATH-CK400i and ATH-BT03 communications headphones are currently available at authorized retailers and online sellers, and at shopaudiotechnica.com.
