Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JBL Tour Pro 2 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
JBL Tour Pro 2 10mm
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 4.2mm
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20Hz
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40000Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20000Hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tour Pro 2
Sound Pressure Level
