IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the Boult Audio Z40's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. Compared to the Boult Audio Z40, Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Boult Audio Z40 has a higher liquid rating than Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)
Boult Audio Z40 have a weight of 40g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen), at 8.56g
are lighter than the Boult Audio Z40 with a difference -31.44g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Boult Audio Z40 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together. Boult Audio Z40 have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Boult Audio Z40 are resistant to sweat
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Boult Audio Z40 are both dustproof and water-resistant. Boult Audio Z40 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) also have stereo speakers
Boult Audio Z40 stay well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Boult Audio Z40 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Boult Audio Z40 by 1mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Boult Audio Z40's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) can make sound with a juicier bass than the Boult Audio Z40
The Boult Audio Z40's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Boult Audio Z40's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s battery life is
less than that of Boult Audio Z40 by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and Boult Audio Z40's case has a charge of 50 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
less than that of Boult Audio Z40 by 20 hours

equal to that of the Boult Audio Z40
Boult Audio Z40 support AAC, a codec 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Boult Audio Z40 will work fine 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.
The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) 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. Boult Audio Z40 have 2 microphones.
The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) microphones are 6,
more than that of Boult Audio Z40 by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise. Boult Audio Z40 have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears .
