making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 6.2mm
, 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 it's true that, 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 audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Urbanista Copenhagen
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.
Urbanista Copenhagen's sound pressure level measurement is 115dB/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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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.
