Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
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 outcompete background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 and Sony LinkBuds S work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 stay well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
The 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 produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 0.8mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20Hz
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40000Hz
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102dB/mW
Sony LinkBuds S ✗
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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✗
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
