IP 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 represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the BLX Earbuds Gen 1's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the BLX Earbuds Gen 1, Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
BLX Earbuds Gen 1 have a weight of 44.5g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Energy Sistem Sport 5, at 18g
weigh less than the BLX Earbuds Gen 1 by -26.5g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, BLX Earbuds Gen 1 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together.

Both Energy Sistem Sport 5 and BLX Earbuds Gen 1 have stereo speakers
The BLX Earbuds Gen 1 stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 driver unit is 14mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
BLX Earbuds Gen 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The BLX Earbuds Gen 1's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
BLX Earbuds Gen 1's battery life is 4.5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery life is
more than that of BLX Earbuds Gen 1 by 0.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not 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 BLX Earbuds Gen 1's case is said to have a full charge of 13.5 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of BLX Earbuds Gen 1 by 6.5 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the BLX Earbuds Gen 1's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of BLX Earbuds Gen 1 by 0.5 hours
BLX Earbuds Gen 1's battery capacity is 40mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery power is 40mAh.
equal to that of the BLX Earbuds Gen 1
The BLX Earbuds Gen 1 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your device and case.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
The BLX Earbuds Gen 1 have Bluetooth version of 5.1, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of BLX Earbuds Gen 1
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The BLX Earbuds Gen 1 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the BLX Earbuds Gen 1
BLX Earbuds Gen 1 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the BLX Earbuds Gen 1 will work well with your iPhone. 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.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 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.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
