Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means 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.
Compared to the Soundpeats Mini Pro, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher liquid rating than Soundpeats Mini Pro
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g
are heavier than the Soundpeats Mini Pro by of 3.06g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Soundpeats Mini Pro are resistant to sweat
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS are both dustproof and water-resistant.
The earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Soundpeats Mini Pro have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Soundpeats Mini Pro 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.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro sit well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS, and Soundpeats Mini Pro have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 3.2mm
, as many tend to believe 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Soundpeats Mini Pro's case is said to have a charge of 14 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 2 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery capacity is 45mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and case.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Soundpeats Mini Pro use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec 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 the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini Pro 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.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Soundpeats Mini Pro have a latency of 60ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
