making them have a larger driver unit than that of Momentum True Wireless 4 by 3mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Momentum True Wireless 4 produce a juicier bass than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Momentum True Wireless 4's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Momentum True Wireless 4 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Momentum True Wireless 4's measurement is 107dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW.
How loud a device is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Momentum True Wireless 4's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Momentum True Wireless 4 by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, 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 Momentum True Wireless 4's case has a full charge of 22.5 hours.
