IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini's rating is read as, the first number 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, Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Devialet Gemini have a weight of 8g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS, at 8.12g
are heavier than the Devialet Gemini with a difference of 0.12g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Devialet Gemini have sweat resistance
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc

Devialet Gemini have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Devialet Gemini have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Devialet Gemini stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
The Devialet Gemini have a unit size of 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 earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS driver unit is 14.2mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 4.2mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini can produce a juicier bass than the Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS
Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini
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.
The 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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS's battery life is
less than that of Devialet Gemini by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Devialet Gemini's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours,
less than that of Devialet Gemini by 3 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini
Devialet Gemini's battery capacity is 55mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS's battery power is 30mAh.
less than that of Devialet Gemini by 25mAh
The Devialet Gemini, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
The Devialet Gemini have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The Devialet Gemini support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Devialet Gemini have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.

Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini
Devialet Gemini support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Devialet Gemini will work fine with your iPad. If you intend 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.
