Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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.
Compared to the Devialet Gemini 2, Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Devialet Gemini 2 has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds

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.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.

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 .
Both Raycon Fitness Earbuds, and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce 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, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 make sound with a juicier bass than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini 2
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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 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.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 7 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 have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Devialet Gemini 2's case has a full charge of 17 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's charging case has a battery life of 44 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 27 hours
