IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Sony WF C700N's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Sony WF C700N, Nuraphone NuraTrue have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Sony WF C700N have a weight of 9.2g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue, at 14.8g
weigh more than the Sony WF C700N with a difference of 5.6g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Sony WF C700N are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
Nuraphone NuraTrue also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Sony WF C700N have sweat resistance
Nuraphone NuraTrue's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Sony WF C700N have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Sony WF C700N have stereo speakers, what this means is that Sony WF C700N's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Nuraphone NuraTrue and Sony WF C700N have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Sony WF C700N have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
The Sony WF C700N stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Sony WF C700N have a unit size of 5mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF C700N 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Sony WF C700N's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Sony WF C700N's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sony WF C700N's battery life is 10 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery life is
less than that of Sony WF C700N by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Sony WF C700N's case is said to have a charge of 10 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
more than that of Sony WF C700N by 8 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
