The Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless have a weight of 213g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. Bowers & Wilkins Px8, at 320g
weigh more than the Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless by 107g
Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends.
One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless are one of those. With a detachable cable, Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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, Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless'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
rendering your headphones defective. Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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. Bowers & Wilkins Px8 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless have stereo speakers, what this means is that Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Bowers & Wilkins Px8 and Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless have stereo speakers
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, 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, Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's measurement is 91.3dB/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.
Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Bowers & Wilkins Px8 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Bowers & Wilkins Px8, and Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless similar in how loud their sound gets
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless'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. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's battery life is 36 hours
Bowers & Wilkins Px8's battery life is 30 hours.
Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless'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. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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. Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your headphones, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's battery power is 500mAh, 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. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's battery can be recharged and used over again.
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too have a rechargeable battery. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement. The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 also can be used wirelessly
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless has a v5
Bowers & Wilkins Px8 has a Bluetooth version of v5.2. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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. Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too have USB TYPE-C
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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. Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too have this kind of connector
Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless have only 1 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 microphones are only 2.
There is a control panel on the Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 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. The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 too have a control panel on them.
