Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Jabra Evolve2 Buds 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,
Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a lower liquid rating than Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a weight of 11g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g
weigh less than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with a difference -0.2g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the two earbuds together. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are resistant to sweat
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 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. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Jabra Evolve2 Buds work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background noise well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro'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 makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is 8 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
more than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro'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.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just place down on a supported charging pad. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of the earbuds.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a battery level indicator, these allow you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 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. Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a maximum range of 20meters,
longer than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 10meters
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC, a codec that is 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will work well with your iPhone. 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 Jabra Evolve2 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. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have 6 microphones. While the Jabra Evolve2 Buds microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
