Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the 1More Evo's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the 1More Evo, JBL Tune 230NC have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The 1More Evo have a weight of 11.4g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The JBL Tune 230NC, at 11.3g
weigh less than the 1More Evo by -0.1g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, 1More Evo are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
JBL Tune 230NC also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .
1More Evo have sweat resistance
JBL Tune 230NC's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Tune 230NC have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
1More Evo 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 JBL Tune 230NC also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
1More Evo have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Tune 230NC too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
1More Evo stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both JBL Tune 230NC, and 1More Evo have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The 1More Evo have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Tune 230NC driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Evo by 4mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The 1More Evo's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tune 230NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
1More Evo's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tune 230NC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
1More Evo produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune 230NC
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 230NC's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The 1More Evo's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Tune 230NC's battery life is
more than that of 1More Evo by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and the 1More Evo's case has a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Tune 230NC's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of 1More Evo by 10 hours
