Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Beoplay Ex Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).

Having a value of IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means 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 best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

The Beoplay EX, at 12g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference of 2.4g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Beoplay EX also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Beoplay EX's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating 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 reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.

JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. The Beoplay EX too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The JBL Tune Flex and Beoplay EX operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

The JBL Tune Flex sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.

The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.

JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices make sound with equal bass JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, 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. 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

Beoplay EX has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The 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 that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your MacBook. 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. While the Beoplay EX microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.

JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Beoplay EX too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.

JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness 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 sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
