IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Audio Technica ATH TWX9's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Audio Technica ATH TWX9, JEET W1S have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 has a lower liquid rating than JEET W1S
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have a weight of 10.8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The JEET W1S, at 18g
weigh more than the Audio Technica ATH TWX9 with a difference of 7.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH TWX9 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
JEET W1S have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have sweat resistance
JEET W1S's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Audio Technica ATH TWX9's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JEET W1S also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both JEET W1S, and Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
JEET W1S 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JEET W1S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JEET W1S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JEET W1S
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, 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.
JEET W1S's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JEET W1S's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 5 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Audio Technica ATH TWX9's case has a full charge of 18.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.

equal to that of the Audio Technica ATH TWX9
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Audio Technica ATH TWX9 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JEET W1S support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
JEET W1S support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.

JEET W1S support APTX Adaptive as well which implies that both can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio from other devices.
JEET W1S support APTX Low Latency, a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag for example when playing games.
The JEET W1S support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. JEET W1S have a latency of 88ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have 4 microphones.
While the JEET W1S microphones are 1,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 3
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
