IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX8, the Tozo T10S's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have a weight of 17g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Tozo T10S, at 10g
are lighter than the Sony WF 1000XM3 with a difference -7g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Sony WF 1000XM3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Tozo T10S also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .
The Sony WF 1000XM3 come with wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
The earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Sony WF 1000XM3 have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Sony WF 1000XM3 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Tozo T10S also have stereo speakers
Tozo T10S are rated 1meters any depth more than that you are likely to lose the functionality of your device. Devices that have a higher depth rating are better for diving.
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies 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 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Sony WF 1000XM3 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
Tozo T10S driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Sony WF 1000XM3'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 makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Tozo T10S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Sony WF 1000XM3's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Tozo T10S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sony WF 1000XM3 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
The Sony WF 1000XM3's battery life is 8 hours, a device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Tozo T10S's battery life is
equal to that of the Sony WF 1000XM3
. 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.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Sony WF 1000XM3's case has a 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.
Tozo T10S's charging case has a battery life of 28 hours,
more than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 4 hours
It takes 3.5 hours to fully charge the Sony WF 1000XM3's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
Tozo T10S takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 1.5 hours
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your device and case.
Tozo T10S too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Tozo T10S too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
Sony WF 1000XM3 have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Tozo T10S has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Sony WF 1000XM3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Sony WF 1000XM3 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Tozo T10S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Sony WF 1000XM3
Sony WF 1000XM3 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Sony WF 1000XM3 will work well with your iPad. If you intend 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 Tozo T10S support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
