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 770NC are one of those. With a detachable cable, Sony WH 1000XM5 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
JBL Tune 770NC 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, JBL Tune 770NC'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 1000XM5 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 770NC comes with a 1.2meters cable. Sony WH 1000XM5 comes with a 1.2meters cable.
Almost any cable should be fine in sound quality If you're looking at lengths up to 2 - 3 meters. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear JBL Tune 770NC 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 1000XM5 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels. JBL Tune 770NC have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune 770NC's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Sony WH 1000XM5 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 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 770NC 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 1000XM5 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 770NC 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 1000XM5 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 770NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Sony WH 1000XM5's lowest frequency is at 4Hz, this implies that
JBL Tune 770NC got a juicier bass than the Sony WH 1000XM5
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through.
JBL Tune 770NC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Sony WH 1000XM5's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Sony WH 1000XM5 got a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune 770NC
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 770NC's measurement is 100dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Sony WH 1000XM5's sound pressure level measurement is 102dB/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 770NC driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Sony WH 1000XM5 driver unit is 30mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 770NC 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 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 conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. JBL Tune 770NC's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Sony WH 1000XM5's impedance is 48Ohms. 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.
