IP ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds'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 can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Wave Buds have sweat resistance
JBL Wave Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. The JBL Wave Buds stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the device. JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JBL Wave Buds'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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Wave Buds's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Buds's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. The JBL Wave Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. JBL Wave Buds support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. JBL Wave Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
The JBL Wave Buds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Buds support AAC, a codec 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 JBL Wave Buds 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 Wave Buds support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones. JBL Wave Buds use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the desired sound.
JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
JBL Wave Buds 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. If lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, the JBL Wave Buds have a find earbuds feature. JBL Wave Buds support fast charging.
Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge the earbuds. JBL Wave Buds support multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can seemlessly switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
The JBL Wave Buds have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds. JBL Wave Buds support voice prompts.
With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection. The JBL Wave Buds come with a special pouch. Carrying earbuds openly, or placing them inside your bag without a cover can easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
