Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Reflect Aero TWS's rating is read as, the first value of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and of liquids 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 Reflect Aero TWS, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher liquid rating than Beats Fit Pro
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a weight of 13g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
are lighter than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS by -1.8g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Reflect Aero TWS are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Beats Fit Pro 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. If used correctly, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS are resistant to sweat
Beats Fit Pro'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 Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Reflect Aero TWS's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Beats Fit Pro and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies 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 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Beats Fit Pro, and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 2.7mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, 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 on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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.
Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Beats Fit Pro have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Reflect Aero TWS's case has a full charge of 16 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 5 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 0.5 hours
Beats Fit Pro's battery power is 55mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case.
Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Beats Fit Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
Beats Fit Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Fit Pro 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.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Beats Fit Pro have a latency of 70ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have 6 microphones.
Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
