Audio-Technica has been a known brand in the audio industry for some time now. However, it only recently began expanding into the truly wireless earbuds category. Now, it has launched a new TWS model with an interesting feature, which is UV lights to help sterilize the earphones.

The new model in question is the Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 TWS. Its unique selling point is undoubtedly its UV sterilization feature, which is made to be anti-bacterial for better hygiene. While this feature is clearly uncommon and quite interesting in terms of practicality, it isn’t exactly ground breaking or innovative. LG already has a TWS earbuds model series that offers this feature, with the Tone Free earbuds offering UV sterilization for sometime now.

Although the LG models also offer UV lights to kill off bacteria, there are still differences in functionality in the new Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 model. The former only focuses sterilization on the speaker grills itself and requires around 10 minutes of charging time. On the other hand, the ATH-TWX9 TWS earbuds increases the steriized area beyond just the speaker grills and even reduces the process to just 70 seconds. Apart from this key feature, the brand is already known for its capable hearable offerings and the new TWS model isn’t any different.

It also comes with a premium look with a stylish finish with minimal bronze trim as well. The earphones features 360 Reality Audio and Snapdragon Sound to help improve the listening experience and the body of the earbuds is also IPX4 protected. A single full charge will have it last around 6 hours, with the charging case enabling a total of 18.5 hours of playback. The new ATH-TWX9 earbuds are currently available for a price tag of 329 US Dollars and is only available in the Japanese Black color option.
