IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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.
In comparison to the Devialet Gemini, JBL Endurance Peak 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 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak
Devialet Gemini have a weight of 8g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
JBL Endurance Peak, at 30g
are heavier than the Devialet Gemini with a difference of 22g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak come with wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Devialet Gemini have sweat resistance
JBL Endurance Peak's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
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.
Both JBL Endurance Peak and Devialet Gemini have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Endurance Peak too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
Devialet Gemini stay well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Devialet Gemini driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Endurance Peak driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates 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.
JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak
The Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22,000Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
Devialet Gemini's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually 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 Endurance Peak's battery life is
less than that of Devialet Gemini by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Devialet Gemini's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
