IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro 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 have a weight of 8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
weigh more than the Devialet Gemini by of 4g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Devialet Gemini have sweat resistance
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Devialet Gemini 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 Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Devialet Gemini have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Devialet Gemini and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
Devialet Gemini sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, and Devialet Gemini have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Devialet Gemini have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 0.6mm
, many people have a misconception 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini can produce a juicier bass than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
The Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini's measurement is 94dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Devialet Gemini's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer 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 requires fewer chargings.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 2 hours
. Every 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 Devialet Gemini's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 6 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 0.5 hours
Devialet Gemini's battery power is 55mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
