IP ratings is the level 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, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, 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.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The JBL Tune 225TWS, at 9.8g
are lighter than the Soundpeats Mini Pro with a difference -0.14g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Tune 225TWS also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Soundpeats Mini Pro are resistant to sweat
An 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 to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Tune 225TWS also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of 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 earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Soundpeats Mini Pro stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
JBL Tune 225TWS driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 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 produce better quality sound.
The JBL Tune 225TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 225TWS's measurement is 105dB/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 usually 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 Tune 225TWS's battery life is
less than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 Soundpeats Mini Pro's case is said to have a charge of 14 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Tune 225TWS's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 6 hours
It requires 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 when they have been in storage for long periods.
JBL Tune 225TWS takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 0.5 hours
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery capacity is 45mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
JBL Tune 225TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Tune 225TWS too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Tune 225TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Tune 225TWS 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. Because 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 fine with your iPhone. 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 JBL Tune 225TWS 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.
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.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have 6 microphones.
While the JBL Tune 225TWS microphones are 4,
less than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
If lost in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, Soundpeats Mini Pro have a find earbuds feature.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device.
JBL Tune 225TWS support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, only that the battery is filling up much faster. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in thirty minutes.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.
The JBL Tune 225TWS also support this function. It means that you unilaterally turn off the device's microphone, but still hear the other party talk.
