Beoplay Ex Vs. Nothing Ear 1 Review

IP ratings refer to the rank 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 such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Scoring 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, Nothing Ear 1 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that no data available to specify a protection rating and that of liquids is that, Beoplay EX has a higher liquid rating than Nothing Ear 1 Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g are lighter than the Beoplay EX by -2.6g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Nothing Ear 1 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.

Beoplay EX have sweat resistance Nothing Ear 1's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.

In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Nothing Ear 1 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels.

Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time. Beoplay EX stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.

The Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 2.4mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply 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 audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.

Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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 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. Nothing Ear 1's battery life is less than that of Beoplay EX by 3 hours . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.

The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Beoplay EX's case has 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.

Nothing Ear 1's charging case has a battery life of 29 hours, more than that of Beoplay EX by 9 hours It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Nothing Ear 1 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, equal to that of the Beoplay EX The Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging.

To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a compatible charging pad. Nothing Ear 1 also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of the earbuds. Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery.

Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case. Nothing Ear 1 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. The Beoplay EX have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.

Nothing Ear 1 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 movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.

Nothing Ear 1 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 connecting via Bluetooth. Nothing Ear 1 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. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX will work fine with your iPad.

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 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.

While the Nothing Ear 1 microphones are 6, equal to that of the Beoplay EX . More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. The Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the desired sound. The Nothing Ear 1 too use a noise-canceling microphone.

This is useful in noisy areas. Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing them The Nothing Ear 1 support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a run but still want to hear traffic.
