IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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 of liquids 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.
In comparison to the 1More Aero, Mpow Flame S have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Mpow Flame S has a higher liquid rating than 1More Aero
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
Mpow Flame S have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
1More Aero have sweat resistance
Mpow Flame S's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Mpow Flame S also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Aero have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Mpow Flame S too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
1More Aero sit well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The 1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
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.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and the 1More Aero's case is said to have a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your device and charging case.
Mpow Flame S too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
1More Aero support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
1More Aero have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Mpow Flame S has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More Aero have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Mpow Flame S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
1More Aero support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because 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 MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Mpow Flame S 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.
Mpow Flame S support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
Mpow Flame S support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Mpow Flame S support APTX Low Latency, a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag for example when playing games.
The Mpow Flame S support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
1More Aero use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
The Mpow Flame S too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.
1More Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The Mpow Flame S support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music while being aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a run but still want to be able to hear traffic.
