IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection 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..

no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Sony WF C500 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a weight of 13g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Sony WF C500, at 10.8g
are lighter than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS by -2.2g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Reflect Aero TWS are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Sony WF C500 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS are resistant to sweat
Sony WF C500's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as 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, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sony WF C500 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS stay well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both Sony WF C500, and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology 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 makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate 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. 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.
Sony WF C500's battery life is
more than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, 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 JBL Reflect Aero TWS's case has a charge of 16 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Sony WF C500's charging case has a battery life of 10 hours,
less than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 6 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Sony WF C500 takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 1 hours
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and case. Sony WF C500 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Sony WF C500 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sony WF C500 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.
Sony WF C500 have a maximum range of 9meters,
less than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 1meters
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have 6 microphones. Sony WF C500 microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
JBL Reflect Aero TWS support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to charge the earbuds. Sony WF C500 too support fast charging.
This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in 30 minutes. JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
