Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Nothing Ear 1 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Devialet Gemini 2 stay tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The 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, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1.6mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
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 produce better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Nothing Ear 1
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, 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 before recharge. 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.
Nothing Ear 1's battery life is
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini 2
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening 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.
