IP ratings refer to the rating 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, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, JBL Wave Beam have a rating of IP54 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,
JBL Wave Beam has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
JBL Wave Beam, at 8.8g
are lighter than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds with a difference -132.95g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Wave Beam also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Raycon Fitness Earbuds are resistant to sweat
JBL Wave Beam's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 JBL Wave Beam and Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 noise. The JBL Wave Beam too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.
Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the device. JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making both JBL Wave Beam, and Raycon Fitness Earbuds similar in how loud their sound can get
, as many tend to believe 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 produce better quality sound. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Wave Beam
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Beam
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. JBL Wave Beam's battery life is
less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 Raycon Fitness Earbuds's case is said to have a full charge of 44 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Wave Beam's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 20 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. JBL Wave Beam takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 1 hours
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery.
Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and case. JBL Wave Beam too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Wave Beam too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Wave Beam has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Beam have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have 4 microphones.
While the JBL Wave Beam microphones are 2,
less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds. Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The JBL Wave Beam too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
Especially useful in noisy environments. Raycon Fitness Earbuds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
The JBL Wave Beam support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a run but would still want to be able to hear traffic. Raycon Fitness Earbuds support fast charging.
Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to fully charge a device. JBL Wave Beam too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery fills up much faster.
For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in 30 minutes. Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them.
