Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)

Sony WH CH720N ✓

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.

Sony WH CH720N allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.

Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WH CH720N ✓

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

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 Sony WH CH720N sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.

Lowest Frequency

Sony WH CH720N 20Hz

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

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 on the way through. Sony WH CH720N's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.

Highest Frequency

Sony WH CH720N 20000Hz

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Sony WH CH720N's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.

Sound Pressure Level

Sony WH CH720N 99dB/mW

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

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, Sony WH CH720N's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Driver Unit Size

Sony WH CH720N 30mm

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Sony WH CH720N driver unit is 30mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.

Impedance

Sony WH CH720N 31Ohms

Adidas RPT 01 ✗

Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Sony WH CH720N's impedance is 31Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
