IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
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.
In comparison to the Devialet Gemini, Urbanista Copenhagen 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 prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .

Devialet Gemini have stereo speakers, what this means is that Devialet Gemini's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Urbanista Copenhagen also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted 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 having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Devialet Gemini have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Devialet Gemini sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
The Devialet Gemini have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Urbanista Copenhagen 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini can make sound with a juicier bass than the Urbanista Copenhagen
The Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, 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.
Urbanista Copenhagen's sound pressure level measurement is 115dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not 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 is said to have a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Urbanista Copenhagen's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 6 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 for the first time.

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 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 fine with your iPhone. 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 Urbanista Copenhagen 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.
