Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JBL Wave Buds ✗
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JBL Wave Buds ✓
JBL Wave Buds sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both Audio Technica ATH TWX9, and JBL Wave Buds have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
JBL Wave Buds 8mm
The JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of 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 Wave Buds by 2.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
JBL Wave Buds 20Hz
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates 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 produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40000Hz
JBL Wave Buds 20000Hz
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Buds
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102dB/mW
JBL Wave Buds 100dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/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. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
