IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the JBL Live Pro 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.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have a weight of 9.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
are lighter than the JBL Tune 225TWS with a difference -0.2g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune 225TWS are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Live Pro 2 are resistant to sweat
JBL Tune 225TWS have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune 225TWS's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Live Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Tune 225TWS sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The JBL Tune 225TWS driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 1mm
, many people have a misconception 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 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 an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, 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.
JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JBL Tune 225TWS's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 5 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 have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JBL Tune 225TWS's case has a charge of 20 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 Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 10 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune 225TWS's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.
JBL Live Pro 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JBL Tune 225TWS
JBL Live Pro 2's battery power is 65mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
JBL Live Pro 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a compatible charging pad.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and charging case.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The JBL Tune 225TWS support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Live Pro 2 too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Live Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of JBL Tune 225TWS
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
