Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Live Pro 2
✓
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter 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 having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 and JBL Live Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

✓
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 ✓
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both JBL Live Pro 2, and Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Live Pro 2
11mm
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 5.8mm
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have a unit size of 5.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 5.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20Hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 20Hz
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20000Hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 40000Hz
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Live Pro 2
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Live Pro 2
93dB/mW
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 102dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH TWX9's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
