Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves 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 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra 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. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 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 suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. 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 Bose QuietComfort Ultra 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 component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Bose QuietComfort Ultra's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Bose QuietComfort Ultra's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95's highest frequency is at 22,000Hz, this means that
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 got a clearer and crispier treble than the Bose QuietComfort Ultra
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra driver unit is 35mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bose QuietComfort Ultra 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. Bose QuietComfort Ultra's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95's impedance is 12Ohms. 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.
