Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids 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, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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 number of 4 means 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, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than JBL Tune Flex
The JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex by of 1.2g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels.
Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time. JBL Tune Flex stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 6mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate 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 an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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. 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your device and case. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The JBL Tune Flex support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
The JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Jabra Elite 7 Pro 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 connecting via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your iPad. 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 JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones.
While the Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. The JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have 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 measure of its sensitivity.
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize. The JBL Tune Flex support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of your surrounding, for example when you’re having a run but would still want to be able to hear traffic.

Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just thirty minutes. JBL Tune Flex support multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
The JBL Tune Flex have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too support this function. It means that you are in position turn off the earbuds' microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
