Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)
KEF Mu7
✓
Audeze Mobius ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes 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 hence "diluting" the noise.
KEF Mu7 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.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
KEF Mu7
✓
Audeze Mobius ✗
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The KEF Mu7 sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Lowest Frequency
KEF Mu7
✗
Audeze Mobius 10Hz
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Audeze Mobius's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Highest Frequency
KEF Mu7
✗
Audeze Mobius 50000Hz
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Audeze Mobius's highest frequency is at 50000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Driver Unit Size
KEF Mu7
40mm
Audeze Mobius 100mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. KEF Mu7 driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Audeze Mobius driver unit is 100mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of KEF Mu7 by 60mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
KEF Mu7
✓
Audeze Mobius ✓
Neodymium magnets if 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 KEF Mu7 have this type of magnet.
Audeze Mobius have it too, devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. It is also known that they have more bass and clear high notes.
