Jbl Reflect Aero Vs. Sony Wf C500 Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

Scoring IP68, the JBL Reflect Aero'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.. Compared to the JBL Reflect Aero, Sony WF C500 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that no data available to specify a protection rating and that of liquids is that, JBL Reflect Aero has a higher liquid rating than Sony WF C500 JBL Reflect Aero have a weight of 13g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Sony WF C500, at 10.8g are lighter than the JBL Reflect Aero with a difference -2.2g For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Reflect Aero are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds . Sony WF C500 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the two earbuds . The JBL Reflect Aero come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit. JBL Reflect Aero 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, cardio sweat workouts , etc The JBL Reflect Aero are both dustproof and water-resistant.

JBL Reflect Aero have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sony WF C500 and JBL Reflect Aero have stereo speakers ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.

In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Reflect Aero have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. JBL Reflect Aero sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. JBL Reflect Aero have a unit size of 6.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound made by the device.

Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero by 1mm , many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Reflect Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.

Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices make sound with equal bass JBL Reflect Aero's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal treble SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero'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's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

Sony WF C500 has a Bluetooth version of 5, older than that of JBL Reflect Aero . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The JBL Reflect Aero have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Sony WF C500 have a maximum range of 9meters, less than that of JBL Reflect Aero by 1meters JBL Reflect Aero have 6 microphones.

While the Sony WF C500 microphones are 2, less than that of JBL Reflect Aero by 4 . More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. The JBL Reflect Aero use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. JBL Reflect Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds The JBL Reflect Aero support fast charging.

Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device. Also the Sony WF C500 too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling up much faster.

For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes. JBL Reflect Aero have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The Sony WF C500 too support the mute function.
