Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Buds
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Wave Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
JBL Wave Buds
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✓
JBL Wave Buds sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Skullcandy Indy Fuel, and JBL Wave Buds have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 6mm
JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the device.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20Hz
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20000Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20000Hz
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 105dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
