Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Nuraphone NuraTrue, BLX Earbuds 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 prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The BLX Earbuds, at 44.5g
weigh more than the Nuraphone NuraTrue with a difference of 29.7g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Nuraphone NuraTrue are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
BLX Earbuds also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have sweat resistance
BLX Earbuds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both BLX Earbuds and Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
BLX Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
BLX Earbuds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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, 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.
BLX Earbuds's battery life is
less than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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 the Nuraphone NuraTrue's case has a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
BLX Earbuds's charging case has a battery life of 13.5 hours,
less than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 4.5 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
BLX Earbuds takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1 hours
BLX Earbuds's battery capacity is 40mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your device and case.
BLX Earbuds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
BLX Earbuds has a Bluetooth version of 5.1,
newer than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
BLX Earbuds have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Nuraphone NuraTrue support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide 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 fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have 2 microphones.
The BLX Earbuds microphones are 2,
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds.
Nuraphone NuraTrue support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
Nuraphone NuraTrue support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue support fast charging. Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to charge the earbuds.
BLX Earbuds support multipoint of 1 connections, this feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.
With the Nuraphone NuraTrue, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device.
BLX Earbuds too have a control panel on them.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have voice prompts. Automatically receive information via audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection.
The BLX Earbuds also have voice prompts .i.e the earbuds notifies you if the battery is low, and you need to recharge the device.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue come with their own special case. Carrying earbuds openly, or placing them inside your pockets without a cover may easily damage them.
