Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds'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 the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds . JBL Wave Buds have sweat resistance JBL Wave Buds 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. ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Wave Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Wave Buds stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background noise well as preventing the device music from leaking out . JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device. The JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Wave Buds'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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

The JBL Wave Buds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Buds support AAC, a codec 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 JBL Wave Buds will work fine with your iPhone.
If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones.
JBL Wave Buds use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity.
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can pick up. JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them The JBL Wave Buds have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
