Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Jabra Elite 85t
✓
FiiO FW5 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Jabra Elite 85t have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The FiiO FW5 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Jabra Elite 85t and FiiO FW5 operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

FiiO FW5 ✓
The Jabra Elite 85t sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both FiiO FW5, and Jabra Elite 85t have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Jabra Elite 85t
12mm
FiiO FW5 10mm
Jabra Elite 85t have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
FiiO FW5 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Jabra Elite 85t by 2mm
, 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 mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Jabra Elite 85t
20hz
FiiO FW5 20hz
Jabra Elite 85t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
FiiO FW5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Jabra Elite 85t
20,000hz
FiiO FW5 20,000hz
Jabra Elite 85t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
FiiO FW5's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Jabra Elite 85t
✗
FiiO FW5 108db/mw
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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
Jabra Elite 85t
✗
FiiO FW5 ✓
The FiiO FW5 have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
