IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP57, the Beoplay EX'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 of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Beoplay EX, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Beoplay EX by -1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together. Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Beoplay EX 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 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Beoplay EX and Jabra Elite 7 Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Beoplay EX stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 3.2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Beoplay EX by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the manufacturer, and Beoplay EX's case has a charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Beoplay EX by 4 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just place down on a supported charging pad. Jabra Elite 7 Pro also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of a device.
The Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and charging case. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Beoplay EX have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Beoplay EX
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Beoplay EX have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Beoplay EX
Beoplay EX 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 the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend 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. Beoplay EX support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm.
It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Beoplay EX have 6 microphones. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of Beoplay EX by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. The Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy environments. Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
