IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX2, the Echo Buds 3rd Generation's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against drops falling when tilted at 15° in 4 fixed positions.
Compared to the Echo Buds 3rd Generation, 1More Aero have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
1More Aero has a higher liquid rating than Echo Buds 3rd Generation
The Echo Buds 3rd Generation have a weight of 10g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Echo Buds 3rd Generation are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
1More Aero also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Echo Buds 3rd Generation have sweat resistance
1More Aero's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Echo Buds 3rd Generation have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both 1More Aero and Echo Buds 3rd Generation have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Aero have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Echo Buds 3rd Generation sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the device music from leaking out .
Both 1More Aero, and Echo Buds 3rd Generation have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Echo Buds 3rd Generation driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
1More Aero driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Echo Buds 3rd Generation by 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Echo Buds 3rd Generation's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Echo Buds 3rd Generation's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Echo Buds 3rd Generation'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 have to charge the device less often.
1More Aero's battery life is
more than that of Echo Buds 3rd Generation by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Echo Buds 3rd Generation's case is said to have a charge of 14 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
1More Aero's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Echo Buds 3rd Generation by 7 hours
The Echo Buds 3rd Generation have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your device and charging case.
1More Aero too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Echo Buds 3rd Generation use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
1More Aero too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
Echo Buds 3rd Generation have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
1More Aero has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Echo Buds 3rd Generation
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Echo Buds 3rd Generation have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
1More Aero have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Echo Buds 3rd Generation
1More Aero support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work fine with your MacBook. 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.
Echo Buds 3rd Generation have 4 microphones.
While the 1More Aero microphones are 6,
more than that of Echo Buds 3rd Generation by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.
1More Aero have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
1More Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
If misplaced in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, the 1More Aero have a find earbuds feature.
The Echo Buds 3rd Generation support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device.
Also the 1More Aero support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in thirty minutes.
