Best praise vs top criticism for Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9
“Ath twx9 Has capacitative and buttons. New update allows you to modify functions as you see fit. Anc is not bad, especially in Optimised mode. This will adapt the nc depending on your current environment. You can also save battery by choosing different eq preset (home is a light anc) Aptx It is affected by the wind though, more than others from my experience. Also has great eq, excellent sound and one amazingly designed buds and case.”
“Had the twx9 for half a year. Despite the tones of ear tips which come with the buds I could never make them fit well enough that they wouldn't come loose during workout. Sound quality was alright but definitely underwhelming if you like bass to any extend. I really wanted to love them and I mainly bought them for the aesthetics but was quite underwhelmed by the audio regarding the price. ANC is also not the greatest. In the end I returned mine after the membrane of one of the buds fell apart.”
