Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Beats Studio Buds Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Having a value of 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 The 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 move with.

The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g are lighter than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference -4.5g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the two earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat 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 separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

Both Beats Studio Buds and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. The Beats Studio Buds too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The JBL Tune Flex and Beats Studio Buds operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.

JBL Tune Flex sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out . Both Beats Studio Buds, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology 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. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device.

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 , many people have a misconception 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.

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 generates high human frequencies and if it changes 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, 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 Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken 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 have to charge the device less often. Beats Studio Buds's battery life is equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex . Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 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 Studio Buds's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 8 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery.

Beats Studio Buds takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 0.5 hours The JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and case.

Beats Studio Buds too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery. The JBL Tune Flex have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beats Studio Buds too have USB TYPE-C.

This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.

Beats Studio Buds 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 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 used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide 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 fine with your iPad. If you are planning 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 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. JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones.

Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The Beats Studio Buds too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.

This is useful in noisy environments. The JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size 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 sound that the earbud microphone can pick up.
