Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
Compared to the 1More Aero, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II has a lower liquid rating than 1More Aero
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a weight of 12.5g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
1More Aero are resistant to sweat
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, what this means is that 1More Aero's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II and 1More Aero have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The 1More Aero have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The 1More Aero and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
The 1More Aero stay well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The 1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II driver unit is 9.3mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 0.7mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The 1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's battery life is
less than that of 1More Aero by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and 1More Aero's case has a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of 1More Aero by 3 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
The 1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and charging case.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
1More Aero support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The 1More Aero have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More Aero have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
1More Aero support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
The 1More Aero have 6 microphones.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II microphones are 8,
more than that of 1More Aero by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
1More Aero have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the desired sound.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
