IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the JBL Wave Buds's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Wave Buds are resistant to sweat
JBL Wave Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Wave Buds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Wave Buds stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .
JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. JBL Wave Buds'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 on its way through.
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The JBL Wave Buds's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Wave Buds's case has a full charge of 24 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Buds's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
The JBL Wave Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case. The JBL Wave Buds have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The JBL Wave Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. The JBL Wave Buds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Buds support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Wave Buds 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. The JBL Wave Buds support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones.
JBL Wave Buds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity.
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can recognize. The JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The JBL Wave Buds have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears .
If lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, JBL Wave Buds support the find earbuds feature. The JBL Wave Buds support fast charging.
Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds support multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can seemlessly switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
JBL Wave Buds have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The JBL Wave Buds, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds support voice prompts.
Automatically receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection. The JBL Wave Buds come with their own special pouch. Carrying earbuds without a case, or placing them inside your bag without a cover can easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
