Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, 1More SonoFlow are one of those. With a detachable cable, Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two numerals The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More SonoFlow's rating is read as, the first number 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.
1More SonoFlow are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too can fold up, foldable headphones can reduce their size by 60% to 70% when folded.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, 1More SonoFlow's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to bends in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or
rendering your headphones defective. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles.
By sweat resistance we mean that the wireless earbuds are protected in the presence of low-pressure water jets at any angle, this is determined by the IP Rating of the earbuds. Based on the ingress protection rating of the 1More SonoFlow they do have sweat resistance
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction.
1More SonoFlow comes with a 1.2meters cable. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 comes with a 1meters cable. Almost any cable should be fine in sound quality If you're looking at lengths up to 2 - 3 meters.
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear 1More SonoFlow have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
1More SonoFlow have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
1More SonoFlow allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The 1More SonoFlow sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Anker Soundcore Space Q45 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
1More SonoFlow's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. 1More SonoFlow's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Space Q45 got a clearer and crispier treble than the 1More SonoFlow
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. 1More SonoFlow driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Anker Soundcore Space Q45, and 1More SonoFlow similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound. Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms.
1More SonoFlow's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. Anker Soundcore Space Q45's impedance is 16Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.
