IP ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP54, the JBL Wave Buds's rating is read as, the first number 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 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 must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Wave Buds are resistant to sweat
JBL Wave Buds 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.
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Buds 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 outcompete background sounds. JBL Wave Buds sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background noise well as preventing the device music from leaking out at the same. The JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the device. JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
The sound pressure level, 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 for a single charge.
A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JBL Wave Buds's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Buds's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. The JBL Wave Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case. JBL Wave Buds use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. JBL Wave Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
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 provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Wave Buds will work well with your iPad. 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.
JBL Wave Buds support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones. The JBL Wave Buds use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
The JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount 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 microphone can pick up.
The JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
JBL Wave Buds support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears .
When misplaced in a room, or can't be found in your bag, the JBL Wave Buds support the find earbuds feature. The JBL Wave Buds support fast charging. Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge a device.
JBL Wave Buds support multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect. JBL Wave Buds have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.
The JBL Wave Buds, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device. JBL Wave Buds have voice prompts. Automatically receive information via audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection.
JBL Wave Buds come with their own special case. Carrying earphones openly, or putting them in your bag without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
