Rare deal brings Audio-Technica’s TWX9 ANC Wireless Earbuds back down to $249 low

Reg. $299 $249
Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 Wireless Earbuds-review close

Amazon is now offering the Audio-Technica ATH-TWX9 Wireless Earbuds for $249 shipped. This set launched last last year at $300 and very rarely ever goes on sale. We have seen price drops on this set less than a handful of times since release and you’re now looking at a match of the Amazon all-time low. Audio-Technica delivers a high-tech set of premium earbuds with the ATH-TWX9 – I still use my set to this day and they sound great – with over 24 hours of wireless playback, customizable digital noise cancellation via the companion app, and intelligent hear-through tech that gives AirPods Pro 2 a run for their money, if you ask me. They also stand out from many of the options out there with a unique black and subtle shimmering copper treatment alongside the wireless charging case, UV sterilization, and touch sensor controls. Take a deep dive into the experience as part of our hands-on review right here and head below for more details.

Reg. $129+ $119

Audio-Technica updated its popular AT2020 series microphone lineup last summer and we are now tracking a solid deal on the AT2020USB-X cardioid condenser model down at $119 shipped via Amazon. This one launched at $149 and remained there until June of this year. While it carries a regular price of $129 these days, today’s offer is matching our previous mention to deliver the second lowest price yet – it has only gone for less once since release during the summer Prime event. The AT2020 mic lineup got a notable upgrade with the X model on sale here today. Alongside the dual-state red and blue LED lighting shining through the grille – blue means on, red when it’s muted – this also delivers higher resolution recording at 24-bit/96kHz. From there, the usual onboard mute and headphone jack are present and accounted for alongside USB-C connectivity. Hit up our launch coverage for a closer look and head below for more.

Review: Audio-Technica launches new robust AT2040 USB mic today with a solid metal build

Audio-Technica is launching its latest USB mic today known as the AT2040USB.
