Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Nothing Ear 1 Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered 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 resistance against liquids (water).

Having a value of 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 value of 4 means 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, 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 take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g are lighter than the JBL Tune Flex by -0.2g 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 wires.

JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Nothing Ear 1's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.

ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

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