Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JLab Go Air ✗
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Audio Technica ATH TWX9, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
The JLab Go Air 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 makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
JLab Go Air 20Hz
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
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
JLab Go Air 20000Hz
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102dB/mW
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air's measurement is 103dB/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 something is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✗
JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
