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 JBL Tune 520BT 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 device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
JBL Tune 520BT's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. JBL Tune 520BT's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal 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 the means to get 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. JBL Tune 520BT's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker 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. JBL Tune 520BT driver unit is 30mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless by 10mm
, 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 produce better sound. Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire 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. JBL Tune 520BT's impedance is 32Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
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
JBL Tune 520BT's battery life is 57 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.
