IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini's rating for solids indicates 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.
Devialet Gemini have a weight of 8g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The JBL Tune 225TWS, at 9.8g
are heavier than the Devialet Gemini by of 1.8g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Tune 225TWS also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Devialet Gemini are resistant to sweat
Devialet Gemini have stereo speakers, what this means is that Devialet Gemini's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Tune 225TWS also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Devialet Gemini sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Devialet Gemini have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
JBL Tune 225TWS driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 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 deliver better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Tune 225TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini produce a juicier bass than the JBL Tune 225TWS
The Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, 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.
JBL Tune 225TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Tune 225TWS's battery life is
less than that of Devialet Gemini by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not 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 vendor, and Devialet Gemini's case is said to have a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Tune 225TWS's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 2 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
JBL Tune 225TWS takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 0.5 hours
Devialet Gemini's battery capacity is 55mAh, battery power, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
The Devialet Gemini, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you just place down on a supported charging pad.
The Devialet Gemini have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
JBL Tune 225TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Devialet Gemini have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Tune 225TWS too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
The Devialet Gemini have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Tune 225TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Devialet Gemini have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Tune 225TWS have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini
Devialet Gemini support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Devialet Gemini will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JBL Tune 225TWS support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Devialet Gemini support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Devialet Gemini have 2 microphones.
The JBL Tune 225TWS microphones are 4,
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
The Devialet Gemini use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
Devialet Gemini support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing them
Devialet Gemini support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears .
If lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, Devialet Gemini have a find earbuds feature.
The Devialet Gemini support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to charge a device.
JBL Tune 225TWS too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery fills up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have a mute function, they have the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.
The Devialet Gemini, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds.
