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 710BT 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 Sony WH CH520 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 710BT's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Sony WH CH520's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. JBL Tune 710BT's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Sony WH CH520's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
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 a way of getting 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 710BT's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Sony WH CH520's sound pressure level measurement is 97dB/mW.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. JBL Tune 710BT driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Sony WH CH520 driver unit is 30mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 710BT by 10mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound. Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms.
JBL Tune 710BT's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. Sony WH CH520's impedance is 35Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.
