The JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak with a difference -17g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak have sweat resistance
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too are dustproof and water-resistant, thus preventing water and dust from entering the interior of the devices keeping the interior components safe
An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
JBL Endurance Peak have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Endurance Peak have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The JBL Endurance Peak and JBL Reflect Aero TWS operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out .
The JBL Endurance Peak have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates 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 by 3.2mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
