Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Google Pixel Buds Pro Review

IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

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 of liquids 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, Google Pixel Buds 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 JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro, at 12.4g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex by of 2.8g True wireless devices have no cables connecting 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 as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together. Google Pixel Buds Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together.

JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Google Pixel Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Google Pixel Buds Pro and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.

In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Google Pixel Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes.

The JBL Tune Flex and Google Pixel Buds Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time. JBL Tune Flex sit well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. Both Google Pixel Buds Pro, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.

JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the device. Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate 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 component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce 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 adjustments to the signal while at it.

Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can produce equal treble The sound pressure level, 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. Google Pixel Buds Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 75dB/mW.

The sound pressure level, something 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 3 hours . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Tune Flex's case has a full charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Google Pixel Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.

Google Pixel Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1 hours JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case. Google Pixel Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.

The JBL Tune Flex have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Google Pixel Buds Pro too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.

The JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Google Pixel Buds Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5, older than that of JBL Tune Flex . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.

Google Pixel Buds 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. 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 iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Google Pixel Buds 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro 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 background sounds.

The JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out noise from the desired sound. The Google Pixel Buds Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.

The JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent 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 voice that the earbud microphone can pick up.
