Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX5, the JBL Live Free 2's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
Compared to the JBL Live Free 2, JEET W1S have a rating of IPX5 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
JBL Live Free 2 have a weight of 9.8g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
JEET W1S, at 18g
are heavier than the JBL Live Free 2 with a difference of 8.2g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Live Free 2 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
JEET W1S have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Live Free 2 are resistant to sweat
JEET W1S's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Live Free 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Live Free 2's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JEET W1S and JBL Live Free 2 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Live Free 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Live Free 2 stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both JEET W1S, and JBL Live Free 2 have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
JBL Live Free 2 have a unit size of 11mm 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, the unit size determines the sound made by the device.
JEET W1S driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making both JEET W1S, and JBL Live Free 2 similar in how loud their sound can get
, a common assumption 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Live Free 2'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 makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JEET W1S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
JEET W1S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Live Free 2's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JEET W1S's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
JBL Live Free 2's battery life is 7 hours, a device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
JEET W1S's battery life is
more than that of JBL Live Free 2 by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Live Free 2's case has a full charge of 28 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Live Free 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
JEET W1S too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
JBL Live Free 2 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Live Free 2 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JEET W1S has a Bluetooth version of 4.1,
older than that of JBL Live Free 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JBL Live Free 2 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JEET W1S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Live Free 2
JEET W1S support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JEET W1S will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
JEET W1S support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
