making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, 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 produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the Nothing Ear 2
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Nothing Ear 2's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
