Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Beats Studio Buds Review

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

Having a value of IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating is read as, the first value 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 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 take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g are lighter 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 case since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together. Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds . JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Beats Studio Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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.

The Beats Studio Buds also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.

JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Beats Studio Buds too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The JBL Tune Flex and Beats Studio Buds operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.

JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds. Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 3.8mm , 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver 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 recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means 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 produces high human 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 SPL, 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. How loud something is can be perceived differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.

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 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 provides better results than other codecs at a similar 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.

JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones. While the Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.

The Beats Studio Buds too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas. The JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa.

The magnitude of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can pick up.
