Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP55, the Skullcandy Indy Fuel's rating is read as, the first number 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 medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the Skullcandy Indy Fuel, JEET W1S have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Skullcandy Indy Fuel have a weight of 57g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The JEET W1S, at 18g
weigh less than the Skullcandy Indy Fuel with a difference -39g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Skullcandy Indy Fuel are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JEET W1S too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities. When used rightly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel have sweat resistance
JEET W1S's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Skullcandy Indy Fuel are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel have stereo speakers, what this means is that Skullcandy Indy Fuel's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JEET W1S and Skullcandy Indy Fuel have stereo speakers
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
JEET W1S driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Skullcandy Indy Fuel by 5mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JEET W1S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JEET W1S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Skullcandy Indy Fuel's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JEET W1S's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's battery life is 3 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JEET W1S's battery life is
more than that of Skullcandy Indy Fuel by 8 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Skullcandy Indy Fuel's case is said to have a charge of 27 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
It requires 0.3 hours to fully charge the Skullcandy Indy Fuel's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.

Skullcandy Indy Fuel have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JEET W1S has a Bluetooth version of 4.1,
older than that of Skullcandy Indy Fuel
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JEET W1S have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JEET W1S support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JEET W1S 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.
JEET W1S 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.
The JEET W1S support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
