Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JBL Endurance Peak 2 ✗
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JBL Endurance Peak 2 ✓
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both Audio Technica ATH TWX9, and JBL Endurance Peak 2 have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
JBL Endurance Peak 2 10mm
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 4.2mm
, a common assumption 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
JBL Endurance Peak 2 20Hz
The JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40000Hz
JBL Endurance Peak 2 20000Hz
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak 2
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102dB/mW
JBL Endurance Peak 2 93dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's sound pressure level measurement is 102dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
