Has A Detachable Cable

Sony WH CH720N ✓

JBL Tune 760NC ✓

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 760NC are one of those.

With a detachable cable, Sony WH CH720N too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.

Sony WH CH720N ✓

JBL Tune 760NC ✓

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 bends in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or rendering your headphones defective.

Sony WH CH720N too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles.

Cable Length

Sony WH CH720N 1.2meters

JBL Tune 760NC ✗

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. Sony WH CH720N comes with a 1.2meters cable.

Has An Over-The-Ear Foam

Sony WH CH720N ✓

JBL Tune 760NC ✓

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.

Sony WH CH720N with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.

Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)

Sony WH CH720N ✓

JBL Tune 760NC ✓

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise 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.

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.

Sony WH CH720N 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 suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WH CH720N ✓

JBL Tune 760NC ✓

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 Sony WH CH720N isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.

Lowest Frequency

Sony WH CH720N 20Hz

JBL Tune 760NC 20Hz

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.

Sony WH CH720N's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal bass

Highest Frequency

Sony WH CH720N 20,000Hz

JBL Tune 760NC 20,000Hz

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.

Sony WH CH720N's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices produce equal treble

Sound Pressure Level

Sony WH CH720N 99dB/mW

JBL Tune 760NC 103dB/mW

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 760NC's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Sony WH CH720N's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW.

Driver Unit Size

Sony WH CH720N 30mm

JBL Tune 760NC 40mm

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.

Sony WH CH720N driver unit is 30mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 760NC by 10mm , 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.

Impedance

Sony WH CH720N 31Ohms

JBL Tune 760NC 32Ohms

Impedance is 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 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.

Sony WH CH720N's impedance is 31Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
