Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating is read as, the first number of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and the second number of 8 means that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 with a difference -12g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the two earbuds together.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 come with wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have wingtips, by resting against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, they are best suited for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have sweat resistance
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 3's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 3.2mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 3's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery life is 10 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.
