IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that 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 the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini 2 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together.
JBL Tour Pro 2 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Devialet Gemini 2 have sweat resistance
JBL Tour Pro 2'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, 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 JBL Tour Pro 2 and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
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 earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Devialet Gemini 2 stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both JBL Tour Pro 2, and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Devialet Gemini 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the device.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Tour Pro 2
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Devialet Gemini 2's case has 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.
JBL Tour Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 13 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini 2's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
The Devialet Gemini 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a supported charging pad.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have a battery level indicator, these enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Devialet Gemini 2 support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Tour Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of Devialet Gemini 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Tour Pro 2 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 can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Devialet Gemini 2 will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 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.
Devialet Gemini 2 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Devialet Gemini 2 have 4 microphones.
JBL Tour Pro 2 microphones are 6,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 too use a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Devialet Gemini 2 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing them
The JBL Tour Pro 2 support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a run but would still want to hear traffic.
