ATH-TWX9 Wireless Earbuds, Premium Listening Experience with Bluetooth Wireless, Noise-Cancellation, High-Resolution Drivers with Innovative Acoustic Technology

Tried the Bose QC Earbuds 2, the Sony WF1000-XM5 and this. Sony had good audio quality, however the ANC never worked because the earbuds could never get a proper seal. The Bose has the absolute best ANC, but sound a bit muddled. This is a mix of both, great anc and noise canceling ( connectivity is a bit awkward, but it’s ok! )

Pros: Beautiful design, great fit, many features, good connectivity, and more importantly... SUPERIOR sound quality. Cons: Battery life can be better for the premium price.

It had finally become time to replace my trusted Sony 1000XM3’s due to the bulky size and ear tips that no longer stayed secured due to lots of use. In scouring several YouTube reviews for a replacement, I decided to give these Audio Technicas a try. First impressions, appealing design with attractive colors and slightly bulking but cool looking case. Pairing with iPhone went well enough and the app is well designed with lots of features and customization. Sound quality.. Wow. These blow my previous Sonys out of the water with so much more clarity and range. I could hear intricacies in my favorite tracks I hadn’t been able to hear before. Really recommend these for good sound. Now for the drawbacks.. I wore these for a walk around the neighborhood in the fall. I noticed with the ANC on, I could still hear the leaves crunching under my feet. I tried to “re-optimize” the ANC via the app. Still hearing the leaves, still hearing the cars zoom by. On my next trial run, I swapped out the ear tips with a couple of the other (many) options provided. These were quite difficult to swap out and required a lot of force. Unfortunately it didn’t make much difference with the ANC performance and couldn’t touch that of my Sony XM3s. The final factor for me was when I received my first call while on a walk. The other caller couldn’t hear me and call quality sounded robotic and glitchy. I almost thought it was a service issue until I switched from the earbuds to my phone audio, and call quality was great. This was disappointing after reading so much about clear call performance. Final thoughts - I would strongly recommend these for audio quality alone. As far as ANC and call quality, my experience wasn’t great. The Bluetooth connection would also drop out for a second or two with my phone in my pocket. Not too annoying but not for me at this price point. I’m looking forward to trying the Technics AZ80s next to see if it’s a better fit.

Overall I love these earbuds but they have a huge problem. The left earbud doesn't want to charge. I have to baby it and make sure it seats properly every time to make sure I can listen to my music. Garbage tier quality control.

I bought one pair in July and started to have the left earbud constantly attempting to connect instead of charging while in the case. I assumed I had damage the buds from one or two waist height drops, or during transportation in my backpack. I loved the quality, so I submitted a warranty request to have the left bud fixed. It worked for a few weeks and then had the same problem. I bought a second pair for my partner and protective rubber for the casing to avoid any damage from drops. Her earbud had the same issue occur after a few weeks. The left earbud consistently has connection issues with the case.

Love the amount of options for earbud tips. Easy to use good app for equalizer. You might be wondering why I only gave it 3 stars They do sound amazing. Fit comfortably in the ear probably best I've used so far by comfort which mean a lot to me. I've had these just about a weeks and a half now. I listen to music and other things a lot when at work which are 12hr shifts(no i dont use them all 12hrs). Downfall of them is the small battery but I looked past that which didn't really bother me at all. The Bluetooth signal isn't the best which does bug me for the price tag on them. I have had the SonyWF-1000XM4 before these which hurt my ears are long use sessions. Bluetooth signal was far superior on the Sony's for distance. But what has ruined it for me within the short spam of having them the left earbud volume has gotten much lower then the right one with the treble taking a hit as well. Thought it was my hearing at 1st but then I used other headphones make sure. I've tried to reel them to see if that would solve the issue but it hasn't fixed it.

These are great earbuds and were a very close second to pi8 for me it came down to comfort and pi8 won these sound excellent tho and if u like stem style could be the ones

I been using for a couple of months. Headphones are permanently connected to PC and phone. I have never had problems with the connection, like the people in the reviews here. Apparently something in the new firmware was corrected. The sound is great. In the neighboring rooms, the signal beats without problems. The microphones are average in my opinion.
