Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Beats Studio Buds Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

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. Compared to the JBL Tune Flex, Beats Studio Buds 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 JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g weigh less than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference -4.5g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.

JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Beats Studio Buds'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, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Beats Studio Buds and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, 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 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Tune Flex have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Beats Studio Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.

The JBL Tune Flex and Beats Studio Buds work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your chill time. The JBL Tune Flex stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.

JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the device. Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 3.8mm , 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beats Studio Buds'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 measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.

Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can produce 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. Beats Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW.

The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

The JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.

Beats Studio Buds 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. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beats Studio Buds 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. Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones result in 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 made to reduce noise from the desired sound. The Beats Studio Buds too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy environments.
