Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak 2's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak 2, Mpow Flame S have a rating of IPX7 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 JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a weight of 26g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 2 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Mpow Flame S too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, they are best suited for sports and other physical activities. If used rightly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have sweat resistance
Mpow Flame S's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 2's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Mpow Flame S and JBL Endurance Peak 2 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Mpow Flame S have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes 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 Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Endurance Peak 2'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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 6 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and the JBL Endurance Peak 2's case is said to have a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
