IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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, Beats Studio Buds 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
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a weight of 14.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
are lighter than the Nuraphone NuraTrue by -9.7g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Nuraphone NuraTrue are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
Nuraphone NuraTrue are resistant to sweat
Beats Studio Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers, what this means is that Nuraphone NuraTrue's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Studio Buds also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Beats Studio Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
Nuraphone NuraTrue sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1.8mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, 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.
Beats Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Beats Studio Buds's battery life is
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Nuraphone NuraTrue's case is said to have a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Beats Studio Buds's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 2 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
Beats Studio Buds takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 0.5 hours
Nuraphone NuraTrue 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 device and case.
Beats Studio Buds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Beats Studio Buds too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Beats Studio Buds has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Beats Studio Buds have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Nuraphone NuraTrue support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Nuraphone NuraTrue will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Beats Studio Buds support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have 2 microphones.
The Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
