Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3'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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, JBL Tune Flex have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than JBL Tune Flex
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a weight of 9.4g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The JBL Tune Flex, at 9.6g
are heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 with a difference of 0.2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. 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.
JBL Tune Flex's battery life is
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Samsung Galaxy Buds3's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Tune Flex's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
It requires 5 hours to fully charge the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Tune Flex takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 3 hours

JBL Tune Flex has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Tune Flex have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 will work well with your iPhone.
If you are planning 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 Tune Flex 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.
