The JBL Tour ONE M2 have a weight of 268g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport. Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone cups, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, JBL Tour ONE M2 are one of those. Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids.
The letters 'IP' are followed by two numerals The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Having a value of IPX4, the JBL Tour ONE M2'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 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. JBL Tour ONE M2 are foldable, which makes them more portable.
Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, JBL Tour ONE M2's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to microfractures in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or
completely damaging your headphones.
By sweat resistance we mean that the wireless earbuds are protected in the presence of low-pressure water jets at any angle, this is determined by the IP Rating of the earbuds. Based on the ingress protection rating of the JBL Tour ONE M2 they do have sweat resistance
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction.
JBL Tour ONE M2 comes with a 1.2meters cable. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear JBL Tour ONE M2 have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
JBL Tour ONE M2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tour ONE M2's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Tour ONE M2 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise.
This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The JBL Tour ONE M2 sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour ONE M2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. JBL Tour ONE M2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tour ONE M2's measurement is 95dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. JBL Tour ONE M2 driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current.
The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. JBL Tour ONE M2's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.
The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JBL Tour ONE M2's battery life is 50 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tour ONE M2's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
JBL Tour ONE M2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones. Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
JBL Tour ONE M2's battery power is 750mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. JBL Tour ONE M2's battery can be recharged and used over again.
JBL Tour ONE M2 can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement not restricted by a cable. 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 Tour ONE M2 has a v5.3
JBL Tour ONE M2 support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable.
The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction. JBL Tour ONE M2 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony
which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
JBL Tour ONE M2 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices. JBL Tour ONE M2 support APTX, a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth.
It is developed by Qualcomm and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps. JBL Tour ONE M2 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 a similar bit rate. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The JBL Tour ONE M2 can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
Being an industry standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc. JBL Tour ONE M2 has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there.
All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor. JBL Tour ONE M2 have only 6 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. JBL Tour ONE M2 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound.
Especially useful in noisy environments. JBL Tour ONE M2 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic.
JBL Tour ONE M2 support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life and improving your listening experience while at it. JBL Tour ONE M2 have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
JBL Tour ONE M2 support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect. There is a control panel on the JBL Tour ONE M2 body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
JBL Tour ONE M2 can be used as a headset. A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e.
Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc. Carrying headphones without a case, or putting them in bags without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged. The JBL Tour ONE M2 come with their own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
