New CK303 Series from Audio Technica

According to Yajiuma Plus on Saturday, the number one electronic item foreigners purchase in Japan is headphones. I can see the appeal of purchasing headphones. The Japanese brands are great, at various price points and colors there's something for everyone, plus if you're buying gifts most models are very light weight and pack easily without having to worry about breakage.

We've added Audio Technica's newest line of ear-canal headphones, the CK303 series. They come in two types: S and M. The S model has a cable length of only 60 cm, so if you're using a remote control adapter, you can plug it into the adapter without having an abnormally long cable. At 120 cm cable length, the M model plugs right into your phone or DAP to give you ample room to move about.

While the S-series comes in black, white, and red, the M-series comes in 9 color variations! If you'd like to get away from the ordinary black, white, or silver... try the brown. At ¥2400, they'd make a great gift for your audiophile mom.

beNippon carries a full range of pro-audio headphones in a variety of styles.
