Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating for solids indicates 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.
Compared to the 1More Aero, Powerbeats Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
1More Aero has a higher liquid rating than Powerbeats Pro
Powerbeats Pro have a weight of 20.3g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
1More Aero have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Powerbeats Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
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 Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Aero have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
1More Aero sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both Powerbeats Pro, and 1More Aero have passive noise reduction this means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Powerbeats Pro make sound with a juicier bass than the 1More Aero
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the 1More Aero's case has a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of 1More Aero by 3 hours
It takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the Powerbeats Pro's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and charging case.
Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The 1More Aero have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The 1More Aero have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The 1More Aero have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Powerbeats Pro 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 can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work fine with your iPad. 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.
The Powerbeats Pro 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 1More Aero have 6 microphones.
The Powerbeats Pro microphones are 2,
less than that of 1More Aero by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The 1More Aero use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
1More Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing them
If lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, 1More Aero support the find earbuds feature.
The 1More Aero support fast charging. Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to fully charge a device.
Powerbeats Pro too support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in 30 minutes.
1More Aero have a mute function, they have the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
The Powerbeats Pro, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the device.
1More Aero have voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, like if there is a problem with the connection.
1More Aero come with a special case. Carrying earphones without a case, or placing them inside your pockets without a casing may easily damage them.
Powerbeats Pro too have a case included, which is useful for safe transportation.
