Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. 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 resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating for solids indicates 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 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 Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Powerbeats Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a higher liquid rating than Powerbeats Pro
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
are heavier than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus with a difference of 11.3g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro'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 separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Powerbeats Pro and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down 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 basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the device. Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus produce a juicier bass than the Powerbeats Pro
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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 before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1.5 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 have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a full charge of 12.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 11.5 hours
It requires 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery.
It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1.8 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 show the charging state of your device and case.
Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Bluetooth version of 5.1, 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 Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Powerbeats Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support AAC, a codec that is 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus will work well with your iPhone.
If you intend on using these with Android , 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.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are best for picking up treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its upper limiting frequency.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest mic frequency is 100Hz, low frequencies are better for picking up bass. The lowest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its lower limiting frequency. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
If misplaced in a room, or can't be found in your bag, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support the find earbuds feature.
