Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
Marshall Minor III 12mm
Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound made 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 Marshall Minor III by 6.2mm
, 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
Marshall Minor III 20hz
Marshall Minor III'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 on its way through.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40,000hz
Marshall Minor III 20,000hz
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates 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 40,000Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Marshall Minor III
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102db/mw
Marshall Minor III ✗
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
