Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, 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. In comparison to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Jabra Elite Active 75t have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite Active 75t
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a weight of 9g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Jabra Elite Active 75t, at 10.1g weigh more than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus with a difference of 1.1g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds . Jabra Elite Active 75t also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have sweat resistance Jabra Elite Active 75t's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus 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.
The Jabra Elite Active 75t also have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. Jabra Elite Active 75t too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus and Jabra Elite Active 75t operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus sit well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus driver unit is 9mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Jabra Elite Active 75t driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can make sound with a juicier bass than the Jabra Elite Active 75t Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices generate equal treble The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 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. Jabra Elite Active 75t's battery life is equal to that of the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus . Each 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 have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a charge of 12.5 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's charging case has a battery life of 28 hours, more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 15.5 hours It requires 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods. Jabra Elite Active 75t takes 2.3 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.2 hours The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus 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 earbuds and charging case. Jabra Elite Active 75t too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
