Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Beoplay Ex Review

IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).

Scoring IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison to the JBL Tune Flex, Beoplay EX have a rating of IP57 meaning that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety and that of liquids is that, JBL Tune Flex has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX The JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Beoplay EX, at 12g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference of 2.4g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Beoplay EX also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Beoplay EX's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

Both Beoplay EX and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, 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 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Beoplay EX too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.

The JBL Tune Flex sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2.8mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.

The JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can generate equal treble The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune Flex's measurement is 108dB/mW.

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The JBL Tune Flex's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

Beoplay EX's battery life is equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself. Beoplay EX's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.

Beoplay EX takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 0.5 hours JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case. Beoplay EX too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.

JBL Tune Flex use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beoplay EX too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.

The JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beoplay EX has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.

Beoplay EX have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex JBL Tune Flex support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beoplay EX support AAC as well.

Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones. Beoplay EX microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.

The JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The Beoplay EX too have a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.

JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up.
