Self-Sanitizing Earbuds

Audio-Technica Launches Is New 'ATH-TWX9' Earbuds

Audio-Technica has announced the launch of its newest wireless earbuds, the 'ATH-TWX9,' which come equipped with a one-of-a-kind self-sanitizing feature. This feature is built into the earbud's charging case, which utilizes UV light to sterilize viruses and bacteria without harming the listener in any way.

No doubt, the built-in UV system is the highlight of these new earphones. However, they have several other interesting features that are worth mentioning. For example, users have the option of using an "optimized mode" that automatically adjusts to audio outputs to their surroundings, or they can opt for one of five preset noise-canceling settings. In addition, the case supports wireless charging, and the earphones have an IPX4 water-resistant rating. What's more, thanks to the earbud's use of SnapDragon Sound, they deliver enhanced call quality and high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz.
