Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Beats Fit Pro Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Scoring 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 value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the JBL Tune Flex, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust) and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids 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 transport.

Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex by of 1.6g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds . Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds . JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune Flex's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.

ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

The Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time. JBL Tune Flex sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.

JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2.5mm , a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices can make sound with equal bass The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.

Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble SPL, 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. Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW.

How loud a device is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

Beats Fit Pro's battery life is less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1 hours . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.

Beats Fit Pro 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. Because 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 iPhone. 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 Beats Fit Pro 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. The JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones. The Beats Fit Pro 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.

The JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. The Beats Fit Pro too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
