Jbl Wave Beam Vs. Jbl Reflect Aero Tws Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust 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 protection against liquids (water).

Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating for solids indicates 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 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 Wave Beam, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher dust resistance than JBL Wave Beam and that of liquids is that, JBL Wave Beam has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS JBL Wave Beam have a weight of 8.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g are heavier than the JBL Wave Beam by of 4.2g For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds . JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds . JBL Wave Beam are resistant to sweat JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JBL Wave Beam have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Wave Beam's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and JBL Wave Beam have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.

How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Wave Beam have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time. The JBL Wave Beam stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.

Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS, and JBL Wave Beam have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The JBL Wave Beam have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 1.2mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal bass JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. JBL Wave Beam'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. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam . Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

This is given by the vendor, and JBL Wave Beam's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours, less than that of JBL Wave Beam by 8 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Beam's battery.

It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. JBL Reflect Aero TWS takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of JBL Wave Beam by 0.5 hours JBL Wave Beam have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your earbuds and case.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The JBL Wave Beam have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. JBL Reflect Aero TWS too support USB TYPE-C.

This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. JBL Wave Beam have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

JBL Wave Beam have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam The JBL Wave Beam have 2 microphones. JBL Reflect Aero TWS microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Wave Beam by 4 . More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.

JBL Wave Beam have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.

JBL Wave Beam support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing them The JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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 jog but would still want to hear traffic.
