From the charging case to the earbuds, Audio-Technica has taken a unique and intuitive approach for the ATH-TWX7. The tapered teardrop shaped charging case easily slides even into the tiny pockets. This design further makes the unit rest at an angle while charging highlighting the brand’s logo. This is different than the conventional upright or flat positioning of the earbuds during charging. A small LED light is placed at the bottom flap that lits up as soon as you open or close the case’s flap and when it’s plugged in for charging/ battery notifications. To top it all the soft matte finish material of the charging case makes it feel more premium.
Coming to the earbuds, which sports a stem shaped in-ear design for a snug-fit. Default eartips are good to go out-of-the-box. Besides, the option to change eartips is also there with the additional pairs that ship with the box. You’ll find the earbuds offering a secure fit which makes them apt to wear during outdoor activities or work outs. The IPX4 certification adding dust and sweat resistance is a bonus point for the overall design.

Audito Technica definitely has some of the best sounding pairs out there in the market. And the ATH-TWX7 doesn’t break that legacy. Integrated inside are the 5.8 mm Dynamic drivers that deliver a frequency response range of 10- 40,000 Hz and 100db/ mW sensitivity.
These earbuds are definitely a treat for audiophiles offering a wide and rich sound stage. While it isn’t most well balanced sounding TWS earbuds in the premium/ mid-range category, it’s thumping bass right out of the box hits the right notes for all music lovers.
The overall sound output by these tiny buds packs ample punch to get you grooving to your favorite tracks. Lows, mids and highs are balanced decently and the combined output gives you that premium listening experience. It easily takes on all genres And if you want to tune up the earbuds as per your listening preferences, the AT Connect app compatibility will help you with all the EQ adjustments and further sound refinements.
Distortions with audio is a least of a concern with this pair even when you tune up to the highest audio levels. This makes it a pleasing experience when listening genres like hard metal, pop and R&B. Besides offering an rich output with music, the ATH-TWX7 will also be a solid companion if you are into binge watching shows and movies or gaming.
With ANC support, the ATH-TWX7 is fully capable of blocking sounds from noisy environments. Combined with the secure fit eartips, the sounds get locked inside your ears leaving you undisturbed during your music playback sessions. Noise cancellation is predominantly constant with least or no variations during its usage.
While the ANC is at par with competitions, the older Bluetooth version is a setback. Instead of the latest versions like the Bluetooth 5.3, the ATH-TWX7 comes with dated Bluetooth 5.1 tech. Though, pairing isn’t a hassle, newer Bluetooth version would have been better for lossless transmission and range efficiency.
That said, it still gets the standard SBC and AAC Bluetooth codec support. Added bonus here is the LDAC codec which further helps with high-quality lossless audio delivery. To enable this feature, you’ll need the compatible A-T connect app installed on your devices. Besides accessing the Bluetooth codec profiles, the A-T connect app offers a host of tuning functionalities such as EQ settings, Low Latency mode, Soundscape, Ambience Control, Talk Through, and Call/ Microphone settings.
Claimed backup figures are up to 6.5 hours (earbuds) with ANC on, whereas without ANC it is said to go up to 7.5 hours. Charging case holds up to 24 hours and 20 hours of additional backup respectively with and without ANC. But if we speak of the real world backup, the earbuds last close to five hours when listeing at an average volume level of 60 to 80 percent. This is with the ANC on. It only goes slightly up without the ANC being active. Now, for a premium earbud this is an average backup. You might need frequent re-charges with this pair which can be a bummer for some of the users.
Audio-Technica has once again proved its expertise in the audio segment with the ATH-TWX7. This pair striking a decent balance in terms of build, sound output and overall usage surely gets the game rolling. But it’s not solely the signature audio and design that decides its success. Battery backup is another factor that comes into consideration where it lacks somewhat compared to alternatives in the market. If you can get past that, the the ATH-TWX7 is worth all the money. Give it shot if you are a hardcore audiophile and are looking for a premium sounding TWS pair.
