Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Live Pro 2
✓
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 ✓
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 and JBL Live Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Audio Technica ATH TWX9 ✓
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both JBL Live Pro 2, and Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Live Pro 2
11mm
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 5.8mm
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates 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
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20Hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 20Hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices 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 indicates how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable 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 produce 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
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
