Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW
✓
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✓
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW and Bowers & Wilkins PI7 operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW
9mm
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 9.2mm
The Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW driver unit is 9mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW by 0.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW
5hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 10hz
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW can produce a juicier bass than the Bowers & Wilkins PI7
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW
20,000hz
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 20,000hz
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW
110db/mw
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✗
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS50TW's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
