IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
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 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, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids
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 transport.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds, 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 matter since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance
Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The JBL Tune Flex stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Jabra Evolve2 Buds, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down 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.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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.
JBL Tune Flex's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is 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 Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 hours
. 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.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 3 hours

Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
JBL Tune Flex support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Jabra Evolve2 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 connecting via Bluetooth.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a maximum range of 20meters,
longer than that of JBL Tune Flex by 10meters
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 the same bit rate.
Since its 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 Jabra Evolve2 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.
While the Jabra Evolve2 Buds microphones are 6,
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
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 voice that the microphone can pick up.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are better for picking up treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is known as its upper limiting frequency.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest mic frequency is 80Hz, low frequencies are better for recording bass. The lowest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its lower limiting frequency.
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 them
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music while being aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a run but would still want to be able to hear traffic.
