Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue's rating is read as, the first value 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, Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro 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 take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro, at 12.2g
weigh less than the Nuraphone NuraTrue by -2.6g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Nuraphone NuraTrue are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the two earbuds .
Nuraphone NuraTrue are resistant to sweat
Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro and Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Nuraphone NuraTrue sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 for a single charge. 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.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro's battery life is
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Nuraphone NuraTrue's case is said to have a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 3 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 in storage for long periods.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro takes 0.52 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1.48 hours

Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro 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.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro 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 fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have 2 microphones.
While the Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro microphones are 6,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 4
