Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone cups, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, JBL Tune 720BT are one of those. Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, JBL Tune 720BT'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
completely damaging your headphones. Sony WH CH520 too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles. 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. JBL Tune 720BT comes with a 1.2meters cable. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear JBL Tune 720BT 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. JBL Tune 720BT 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 Sony WH CH520 also have stereo speakers
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment 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 720BT 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 a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. JBL Tune 720BT'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 means that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tune 720BT'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 720BT'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 the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
JBL Tune 720BT 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 720BT 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. JBL Tune 720BT'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.
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 720BT's battery life is 76 hours
Sony WH CH520's battery life is 40 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 720BT'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. Sony WH CH520 takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery
JBL Tune 720BT have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones.
Sony WH CH520 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your headphones, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. JBL Tune 720BT's battery power is 500mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Sony WH CH520's battery power is 400mAh. A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. JBL Tune 720BT's battery can be recharged and used over again.
The Sony WH CH520 too have a rechargeable battery. JBL Tune 720BT can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement. The Sony WH CH520 also can be used wirelessly
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 Tune 720BT has a v5.3
Sony WH CH520 has a Bluetooth version of v5.2. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Tune 720BT support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable.
