AudioTechnica's ATH-TWX9 earbuds look a little like the AirPods Pro, but their sound, style sets them apart.
Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 review: like AirPods Pro with hi-fi sound MSRP $299.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 are stylish ANC earbuds for discerning listeners.” Pros Cons Comparing wireless earbuds to Apple’s AirPods has become so commonplace that it’s kind of lost all meaning. But now and then a product comes along that is clearly trying to woo would-be AirPods buyers, like the Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9.
The TWX9 also look the part. With their subtle, satin metallic accents and discreet Audio-Technica logos, the earbuds pull off a tricky balancing act by looking both sleek and sophisticated. Even the five-LED light bar on the front of the case feels premium, giving you an at-a-glance confirmation of case/earbuds charge levels.
Lots of controls, limited choice Most wireless earbuds give you a single control interface — a touch/squeeze sensitive area or a physical button. The TWX9 give you both: a button on each stem and a touch panel on each logo-sporting end cap. That sounds like Audio-Technica is letting you choose which style of input you prefer, but that’s not quite the case.
The buds also have wear sensors, which can auto-pause and resume your music. They’re very quick, but you can disable them if you wish. That may be true, but this is the first time I’ve ever encountered this particular problem when using Multipoint. Noise cancellation The TWX9 go above and beyond when it comes to ANC. In addition to having five discrete ANC modes for varying situations like flying in an airplane, traveling on a train or being near traffic, in an office, or at home, the A-T Connect app lets you personalize the way these modes work. A calibration process — which only takes a few seconds — analyzes how the earbuds fit your ears and adjusts accordingly.
