Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Audio Technica ATH TWX9, and Nuraphone NuraTrue have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
Nuraphone NuraTrue 10mm
The Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 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 corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 4.2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40000Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20000Hz
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an 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 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102dB/mW
Nuraphone NuraTrue 108dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/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 different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
