Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means 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 for solids indicates 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 The JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference 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 don't have cables.

JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , 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.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers ANC uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, 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 having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal bass The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices produce 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.
