Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Nothing Ear 1 Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second 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, Nothing Ear 1 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust) 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 easier to move with.

The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g weigh less than the JBL Tune Flex by -0.2g For a device to be true wireless it must 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 difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Nothing Ear 1 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Nothing Ear 1'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, what this means is that JBL Tune Flex's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. The Nothing Ear 1 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

JBL Tune Flex stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out .

Nothing Ear 1'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 generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can 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.
