JBL Tune 760NC have a weight of 220g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2, at 307g
are heavier than the JBL Tune 760NC with a difference 87g
Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone cups, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, JBL Tune 760NC are one of those. With a detachable cable, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
JBL Tune 760NC are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too can fold up, foldable headphones can reduce their size by 60% to 70% when folded.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, JBL Tune 760NC'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. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles.
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear JBL Tune 760NC 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. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
JBL Tune 760NC have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune 760NC's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves 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.
JBL Tune 760NC 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. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. 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 760NC 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 Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through.
JBL Tune 760NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. JBL Tune 760NC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the 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 760NC's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. JBL Tune 760NC driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms.
JBL Tune 760NC's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. 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 760NC's battery life is 50 hours
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2's battery life is 30 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 760NC'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.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery
JBL Tune 760NC 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. Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 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.
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 760NC's battery can be recharged and used over again. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too have a rechargeable battery.
JBL Tune 760NC can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 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 760NC has a v5
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 has a Bluetooth version of v5.2.
Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Tune 760NC support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too have USB TYPE-C
Being an industry standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc. JBL Tune 760NC has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there.
All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor. JBL Tune 760NC have only 1 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 microphones are only 6.
JBL Tune 760NC have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice. The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too have a mute function.
JBL Tune 760NC support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect. There is a control panel on the JBL Tune 760NC body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 too have a control panel on them. JBL Tune 760NC can be used as a headset. A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone.
