Beoplay Ex Vs. Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review

IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

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 the second value of 7 means 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 The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g are lighter than the Beoplay EX with a difference -1.2g True wireless devices 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 key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds . Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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, what this means is that Beoplay EX's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels.

Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds. 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 , 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.

The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices produce 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is more than that of Beoplay EX by 2 hours . Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 is said to have a 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.

It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Jabra Evolve2 Buds takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery, more than that of Beoplay EX by 0.5 hours Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds. Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and charging case.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery. Beoplay EX support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have USB TYPE-C.

This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets. 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 Evolve2 Buds 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 Evolve2 Buds have a maximum range of 20meters, longer than that of Beoplay EX by 10meters Beoplay EX support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 are planning 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.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds 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. 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). The Beoplay EX have 6 microphones. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds microphones are 6, equal to that of the Beoplay EX .
