Boult Audio Z40 Vs. Apple Airpods Pro (2Nd Gen) Review

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance 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 Pro (2nd 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, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a lower liquid rating than Boult Audio Z40 Boult Audio Z40 have a weight of 40g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.

Boult Audio Z40's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass The Boult Audio Z40's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices generate equal treble The 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.
