Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Beoplay EX'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 are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Beoplay EX, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX
Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g are lighter than the Beoplay EX by -1.2g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds . Beoplay EX have sweat resistance Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during 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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Beoplay EX stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out . Both Jabra Evolve2 Buds, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. The Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 3.2mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal bass Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble The Beoplay EX'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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is more than that of Beoplay EX by 2 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Beoplay EX's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
