The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless have a weight of 380g, these are higher than 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport. JBL Tour ONE M2, at 268g weigh less than the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless by -112g Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone cups, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are one of those. With a detachable cable, JBL Tour ONE M2 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. The JBL Tour ONE M2 too can fold up, foldable headphones can reduce their size by 60% to 70% when folded.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to bends in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or rendering your headphones defective. JBL Tour ONE M2 too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles.
Headphones that are designed to allow air to pass through their ear cups from the rear of the speaker driver unit are known as open-back. This design provides a very natural and accurate sound, Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless have this kind of design which means that resonances and low-frequency that tend to build up caused by the rear enclosure are no longer a concern. A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance.
How much depends on the length and construction. Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless comes with a 1.2meters cable. JBL Tour ONE M2 comes with a 1.2meters cable.
Almost any cable should be fine in sound quality If you're looking at lengths up to 2 - 3 meters. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
JBL Tour ONE M2 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels. Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless 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. Both JBL Tour ONE M2 and Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless have stereo speakers Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise.
This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the JBL Tour ONE M2 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. JBL Tour ONE M2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that JBL Tour ONE M2 got a juicier bass than the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. JBL Tour ONE M2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's measurement is 100dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JBL Tour ONE M2's sound pressure level measurement is 95dB/mW. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless driver unit is 45mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. JBL Tour ONE M2 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless by 5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
JBL Tour ONE M2's impedance is 32Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.
The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's battery life is 30 hours JBL Tour ONE M2's battery life is 50 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to. It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods. JBL Tour ONE M2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones.
