Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Devialet Gemini
✓
Sony WF C500 ✗
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of 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 sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Devialet Gemini
✓
Sony WF C500 ✓
Devialet Gemini sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both Sony WF C500, and Devialet Gemini have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Devialet Gemini
10mm
Sony WF C500 5.8mm
The Devialet Gemini have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 4.2mm
, as many tend to believe 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Devialet Gemini
5Hz
Sony WF C500 20Hz
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 alters the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini produce a juicier bass than the Sony WF C500
Highest Frequency
Devialet Gemini
20000Hz
Sony WF C500 20000Hz
Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Devialet Gemini
94dB/mW
Sony WF C500 ✗
The sound pressure level, 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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Devialet Gemini
✗
Sony WF C500 ✓
The Sony WF C500 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, using high magnetic flux.
