Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
1More Aero has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a weight of 13g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
1More Aero have sweat resistance
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS are both dustproof and water-resistant.
1More Aero have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and 1More Aero have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
1More Aero have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
1More Aero stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 3.2mm
, a common assumption 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and 1More Aero's case is said to have a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less than that of 1More Aero by 5 hours

1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging state of your device and charging case.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The 1More Aero have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
1More Aero have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More Aero have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
1More Aero have 6 microphones.
While the JBL Reflect Aero TWS microphones are 6,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
The 1More Aero have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
1More Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
