Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring 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, 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g
are lighter than the Devialet Gemini 2 with a difference -1.4g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini 2 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Devialet Gemini 2 have sweat resistance
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Devialet Gemini 2's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The Devialet Gemini 2 and Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Devialet Gemini 2 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Devialet Gemini 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low audible 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 means that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and Devialet Gemini 2's case is said to have a charge of 17 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'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 recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini 2
Devialet Gemini 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a compatible charging pad.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of a device.
Devialet Gemini 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Devialet Gemini 2 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Devialet Gemini 2 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of Devialet Gemini 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Devialet Gemini 2 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini 2
Devialet Gemini 2 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Devialet Gemini 2 will work well with your iPad. If you are planning 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 Pro (2nd 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.
