Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Devialet Gemini 2, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro 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
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
have the same weight as the Devialet Gemini 2
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini 2 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro come with 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.
Devialet Gemini 2 are resistant to sweat
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Devialet Gemini 2 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
The Devialet Gemini 2 stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Devialet Gemini 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 0.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini 2
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini 2's measurement is 120dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Devialet Gemini 2's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and the Devialet Gemini 2's case is said to have a charge of 17 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 7 hours
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini 2's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1 hours
