- VERDICT
The Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 are stylish earphones that offer great sound for listening and calling with the ability to customise the on-ear controls.
The Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earphones are sleek and light and deliver the signature impressive audio we’ve come to expect from the brand.
The wireless earbuds have 5.8mm high resolution drivers under the hood and support for 24-bit/96Khz audio files so you’re getting crisp and clear music.
On the design side the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 have a slender design with a short stalk that rests outside your ear.
The earbud itself is shaped to fit snugly in your ear after you twist it into place.
For our review we used the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 in the gym and on walks and it didn’t budge.
The earphones have a slick look and are made from metal and plastic.
The Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 have hybrid noise cancelling technology onboard which does a good job at filtering out your surroundings.
It also has Hear Through and Talk Through modes so you can talk to people but also hear what’s happening around you if you’re near busy roads or areas you where you need to take care while on a run or a walk.
It’s not the best noise cancelling quality we’ve heard it still did a great job in allowing us to focus on the music, audiobook or the podcasts we were listening to.
There are touch controls and a button on each earbud to switch between modes.
Users can select what functions they want to access from the sensors on the buds and the buttons on the stalks.
You can even set the sensitivity of the touch sensors on the earphones within the A-T Connect companion app.
The touch sensors took a little getting used to – sometimes it took a couple of presses to get a response.
Audio quality was as we expected from Audio Technica – punchy even in the lower frequencies without being over the top so you have a decent soundstage and with enough bass to satisfy most listeners.
One thing we did notice was we needed to play these at full volume to appreciate the sound quality.
They could use slightly better amplification, so you have a few more choices a volume depending on the type of music you’re listening to.
Calls were also decent quality and you have two modes to choose from – Natural when you’re in a quiet space and Noise Reduction if you are in a busier and noisier environment.
The A-T Connect app allows you to choose these modes on the fly. There is also a mute button you can set to can turn off the microphone during your calls.
The voice clarity is thanks to the built-in microphones and beamforming technology that can focus on your voice to ensure you are loud and clear for your caller.
You can even run a test to hear what you’ll sound like before you make the call.
On the battery side Audio Technica says there is about 6.5 hours of playtime and up to 20 hours from the compact charging case as well.
The Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 wireless earphones are priced at $369 and are available now.
