Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Devialet Gemini
✓
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Devialet Gemini have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Devialet Gemini
✓
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
The Devialet Gemini sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both Sony LinkBuds S, and Devialet Gemini have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Devialet Gemini
10mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
The Devialet Gemini driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 5mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Devialet Gemini
5Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20Hz
The 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 on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini make sound with a juicier bass than the Sony LinkBuds S
Highest Frequency
Devialet Gemini
20000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40000Hz
Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony LinkBuds S generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini
Sound Pressure Level
Devialet Gemini
94dB/mW
Sony LinkBuds S ✗
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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Devialet Gemini
✗
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
The Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
