Audio-Technica, a renowned name in audio technology, has introduced its latest product at CES 2024, the ATH-TWX7 wireless earbuds. Priced at $269, these hi-res, noise-canceling earbuds are designed to be a more affordable alternative to their flagship model, the ATH-TWX9, without compromising on quality.

ATH-TWX7: Feature-Rich and Budget-Friendly

Available in black, white, or grey, the ATH-TWX7 shares several features with the more expensive TWX9, including an ergonomic, stem-based design, touch controls with physical buttons, active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency mode, and support for hi-res audio.

They also offer Bluetooth Multipoint for simultaneous connections to two devices and are rated IPX4 for water resistance, making them suitable for workouts or outdoor use.

Key Differences from ATH-TWX9

While both models support hi-res audio, the ATH-TWX7 uses Sony’s LDAC codec instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound platform found in the TWX9. LDAC is widely supported in the Android ecosystem and offers up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution, albeit with some trade-offs in terms of battery consumption.

The ATH-TWX7 boasts a slightly better battery life compared to the TWX9, with 6.5 hours of continuous playback and up to 20 hours total with the charger. Both models use the same 5.8mm driver, suggesting that the TWX7 will likely deliver a similar sound performance to the TWX9, which has received high praise from reviewers.
