Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Devialet Gemini
✓
Nothing Ear 1 ✓
ANC utilises more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) 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, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Nothing Ear 1 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Nothing Ear 1 ✓
The Devialet Gemini sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Devialet Gemini
10mm
Nothing Ear 1 11.6mm
Devialet Gemini driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the device.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 1.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Devialet Gemini
5Hz
Nothing Ear 1 20Hz
Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini produce a juicier bass than the Nothing Ear 1
Highest Frequency
Devialet Gemini
20000Hz
Nothing Ear 1 20000Hz
Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Devialet Gemini
94dB/mW
Nothing Ear 1 ✗
SPL, 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.
