IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. 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).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. JBL Wave Buds have sweat resistance
JBL Wave Buds 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.
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. JBL Wave Buds sit well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device. JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JBL Wave Buds's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. This is given by the vendor, and JBL Wave Buds's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Buds's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. The JBL Wave Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your device and case. The JBL Wave Buds use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. The JBL Wave Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Wave Buds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Buds support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Wave Buds will work well with your iPhone. 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.
JBL Wave Buds support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
The JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones. JBL Wave Buds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The magnitude of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can pick up.
JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing them
JBL Wave Buds have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused. When lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, JBL Wave Buds have a find earbuds feature. The JBL Wave Buds support fast charging.
Usually, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device. JBL Wave Buds have a multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
JBL Wave Buds have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. With the JBL Wave Buds, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds support voice prompts.
Automatically receive information via audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection. The JBL Wave Buds come with their own special pouch. Carrying earphones without a case, or putting them in your bag without a cover can easily damage them.
