Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends. One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal are one of those.
JBL Tune 510BT are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to microfractures in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or rendering your headphones defective.
Headphones that are designed to allow air to pass through their ear cups from the rear of the speaker driver unit are known as open-back. This design provides a very natural and accurate sound, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal have this kind of design which means that resonances and low-frequency that tend to build up caused by the rear enclosure are no longer a concern.
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal comes with a 1.25meters cable.
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
On-ear headphones have smaller earpads that sit on top of your ears, this JBL Tune 510BT comfortably rests on top of your outer ears. As it doesn't block out everything from the outside world, it's preferred in places like office environments and recommended for outdoor activities.
JBL Tune 510BT have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal and JBL Tune 510BT have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The JBL Tune 510BT sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. JBL Tune 510BT's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Tune 510BT's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal's highest frequency is at 22,000Hz, this means that
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal got a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune 510BT
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 510BT's measurement is 103.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal's sound pressure level measurement is 95dB/mW.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. JBL Tune 510BT driver unit is 32mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Tune 510BT by 8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. JBL Tune 510BT's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal's impedance is 24Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal have this type of magnet.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JBL Tune 510BT's battery life is 40 hours
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal's battery life is 24 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune 510BT's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
