The Bose 700 Headphones have a weight of 254g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. The JBL 670NC, at 174g are lighter than the Bose 700 Headphones with a difference -80g Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Bose 700 Headphones are one of those. With a detachable cable, JBL 670NC too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two numerals The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Having a value of IPX4, the Bose 700 Headphones'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.
By sweat resistance we mean that the wireless earbuds are protected in the presence of low-pressure water jets at any angle, this is determined by the IP Rating of the earbuds. Based on the ingress protection rating of the Bose 700 Headphones they do have sweat resistance 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.
Bose 700 Headphones comes with a 1.06meters cable. JBL 670NC 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 Bose 700 Headphones 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 670NC with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
Bose 700 Headphones have stereo speakers, what this means is that Bose 700 Headphones's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JBL 670NC and Bose 700 Headphones have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Bose 700 Headphones allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. JBL 670NC too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Bose 700 Headphones sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking 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 on the way through. Bose 700 Headphones's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
JBL 670NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that JBL 670NC got a juicier bass than the Bose 700 Headphones The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Bose 700 Headphones driver unit is 35mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. JBL 670NC driver unit is 32mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Bose 700 Headphones by 3mm , 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, when electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms.
Bose 700 Headphones's impedance is 4Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. JBL 670NC'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. Bose 700 Headphones's battery life is 20 hours JBL 670NC's battery life is 70 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 2.5 hours to fully charge the Bose 700 Headphones'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 670NC takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Bose 700 Headphones's battery power is 630mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. JBL 670NC's battery power is 690mAh. A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
Bose 700 Headphones's battery can be recharged and used over again. The JBL 670NC too have a rechargeable battery. Bose 700 Headphones can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement not restricted by a cable.
The JBL 670NC also can be used wirelessly 2.4GHz wireless is used for devices such as headsets such as the Bose 700 Headphones, keyboards, and mice similar to Bluetooth but with a proprietary radio frequency. It typically offers better performance than Bluetooth, with low latency and good stability. JBL 670NC too uses this kind of connectivity, its low-latency, high-quality audio comes along with better battery life.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Bose 700 Headphones has a v5 JBL 670NC has a Bluetooth version of v5.3. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Bose 700 Headphones support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction. JBL 670NC too have USB TYPE-C Bose 700 Headphones 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 a similar bit rate. The JBL 670NC 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. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The Bose 700 Headphones can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
The JBL 670NC can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth Being an industry standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc. Bose 700 Headphones has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there.
All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor. JBL 670NC too have this kind of connector Bose 700 Headphones have only 8 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. The JBL 670NC microphones are only 1.
Bose 700 Headphones use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments. The JBL 670NC too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
Bose 700 Headphones support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic. The JBL 670NC support ambient sound mode as well allowing you to hear the ambient sound even while wearing them.
Bose 700 Headphones have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice. Bose 700 Headphones support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them.
For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect. The JBL 670NC support multipoint count. Bluetooth multipoint would come in handy because you can be on one call without missing notifications coming from another device.
There is a control panel on the Bose 700 Headphones body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to. The JBL 670NC too have a control panel on them. Bose 700 Headphones can be used as a headset.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
JBL 670NC can be used as a headset. since they have a built-in microphone The period of time that warrant free repair and adjustment services in case of a malfunction occurring under normal use that has followed instruction manuals.
