Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered 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 such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro'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 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.
In comparison to the Soundpeats Mini Pro, Mpow Flame S have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Soundpeats Mini Pro has a lower liquid rating than Mpow Flame S
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Mpow Flame S have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Soundpeats Mini Pro are resistant to sweat
Mpow Flame S's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little 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, what this means is that Soundpeats Mini Pro's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Mpow Flame S and Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Mpow Flame S too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Soundpeats Mini Pro and Mpow Flame S operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Mpow Flame S, and Soundpeats Mini Pro have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 hours, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, 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 several times before recharging the case itself.
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery capacity is 45mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your device and charging case.
Mpow Flame S too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Mpow Flame S has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Mpow Flame S 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 are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Mpow Flame S 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.
Mpow Flame S support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
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).
Mpow Flame S support APTX Adaptive as well which implies that both can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as reducing interference from other devices.
Mpow Flame S support APTX Low Latency, a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag for example when playing games.
The Mpow Flame S support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
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.
Soundpeats Mini Pro use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
The Mpow Flame S too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. This is useful in noisy environments.
