IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's rating is read as, the first value 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 are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, JBL Wave Beam have a rating of IP54 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than JBL Wave Beam
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a weight of 9.4g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
JBL Wave Beam, at 8.8g
are lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by -0.6g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. JBL Wave Beam also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 are resistant to sweat
JBL Wave Beam's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Samsung Galaxy Buds3's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Wave Beam also have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The JBL Wave Beam too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds. JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 3mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce 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 Wave Beam's battery life is
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This 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 a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Wave Beam's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
It takes 5 hours to fully charge the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. JBL Wave Beam takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 3 hours
Samsung Galaxy Buds3, the device supports wireless charging.
To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a compatible charging pad. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and charging case.
JBL Wave Beam too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. JBL Wave Beam too support USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have Bluetooth version of 5.4, 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Beam have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support AAC, a codec 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 a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 will work fine with your iPad. 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. The JBL Wave Beam too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy areas.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
The JBL Wave Beam support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a jog but would still want to hear traffic.
