IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
JBL Tune 225TWS have a weight of 9.8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune 225TWS are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .

JBL Tune 225TWS have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Studio Buds also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Tune 225TWS stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .

The JBL Tune 225TWS have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 3.8mm
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Tune 225TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 225TWS's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Beats Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.

equal to that of the JBL Tune 225TWS
JBL Tune 225TWS support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune 225TWS will work well with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

While the Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6,
more than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.
