Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to 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 value 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. Compared 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 consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex by of 1.2g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.

JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , 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 Evolve2 Buds and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, 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 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 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 since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 6mm , 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 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 measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 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 measures if and how well an audio component makes high recognizable 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 can produce equal treble The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. The JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a noise-canceling microphone.

This is 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 calculation of its sensitivity.
