Audio-Technica has introduced the new TWS headphones Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9MK2. In compact cases weighing 5.5 g each, they managed to fit 5.8 mm proprietary Pure Motion drivers with a beryllium coating. As a result, the frequency response of the new product ranges from 10 to 40,000 Hz, and the sensitivity is 105 dB / mW.
Of course, Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9MK2 supports Hi-Res 24/96 - thanks to the aptX Adaptive and Hi-Res Audio Wireless codecs. The cherry on the cake is the active noise cancellation system on MEMS microphones with direct and feedback with the ANC automatic adaptation function (and transparency mode).
The Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9MK2 not only reproduce music well, but also provide clear speech in dialogues thanks to beamforming microphones and Qualcomm cVc 8.0 technology. The built-in batteries are enough for 6 hours of battery life and up to 18.5 hours with the case.
The charging case is especially interesting here - the case supports wired and wireless charging, as well as ultraviolet sterilization, which kills bacteria and viruses. Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9MK2 will go on sale from July 11 in Japan for 38,500 yen.
