Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)
Focal Utopia Series 2022
✓
JLab Audio Play ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Focal Utopia Series 2022 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Lowest Frequency
Focal Utopia Series 2022
5Hz
JLab Audio Play 20Hz
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. JLab Audio Play's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Focal Utopia Series 2022's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
JLab Audio Play got a juicier bass than the Focal Utopia Series 2022
Highest Frequency
Focal Utopia Series 2022
50000Hz
JLab Audio Play 20000Hz
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. JLab Audio Play's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Focal Utopia Series 2022's highest frequency is at 50000Hz, this means that
Focal Utopia Series 2022 got a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Audio Play
Sound Pressure Level
Focal Utopia Series 2022
104dB/mW
JLab Audio Play 110dB/mW
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Play's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Focal Utopia Series 2022's sound pressure level measurement is 104dB/mW.
Driver Unit Size
Focal Utopia Series 2022
40mm
JLab Audio Play 40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. JLab Audio Play driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Focal Utopia Series 2022 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Focal Utopia Series 2022, and JLab Audio Play similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Impedance
Focal Utopia Series 2022
80Ohms
JLab Audio Play 32Ohms
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. JLab Audio Play's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Focal Utopia Series 2022's impedance is 80Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Focal Utopia Series 2022
✗
JLab Audio Play ✓
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The JLab Audio Play have this type of magnet.
