Ingress protection ratings refer to the level 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 refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, 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 Nuraphone NuraTrue, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 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
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a weight of 14.8g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g
weigh less than the Nuraphone NuraTrue with a difference -4.2g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Nuraphone NuraTrue are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Nuraphone NuraTrue have sweat resistance
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers, what this means is that Nuraphone NuraTrue's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech 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 counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
Nuraphone NuraTrue stay tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), and Nuraphone NuraTrue have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1mm
, a common assumption 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s battery life is
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Nuraphone NuraTrue's case is said to have a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 6 hours
