Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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 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.
Compared 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
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 move with.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex by of 1.2g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together.
JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as 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 separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
JBL Tune Flex stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
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 component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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.
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
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 playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JBL Tune Flex's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge 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

Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
JBL Tune Flex use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
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.
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 MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones.
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 enable the device to filter out noise.
The JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness 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.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are best for recording treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its upper limiting frequency.
JBL Tune Flex support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a jog but still want to be able to hear traffic.
