Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
FiiO FW5
✓
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✓
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
FiiO FW5 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
FiiO FW5
✓
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✓
FiiO FW5 sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), and FiiO FW5 have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
FiiO FW5
10mm
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 11mm
The FiiO FW5 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of FiiO FW5 by 1mm
, as many tend to believe 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
FiiO FW5
20hz
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 20hz
FiiO FW5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
FiiO FW5
20,000hz
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 20,000hz
The FiiO FW5's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
FiiO FW5
108db/mw
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✗
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, FiiO FW5's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
FiiO FW5
✓
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✗
FiiO FW5 have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
