Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX8, the Tozo T10S's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 8 means that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..
Compared to the Tozo T10S, Sony WF 1000XM4 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Sony WF 1000XM4 has a lower liquid rating than Tozo T10S
The Tozo T10S have a weight of 10g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Sony WF 1000XM4, at 41g
weigh more than the Tozo T10S by of 31g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Tozo T10S are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Sony WF 1000XM4 also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Tozo T10S are resistant to sweat
Sony WF 1000XM4's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Tozo T10S 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.
The Sony WF 1000XM4 also have stereo speakers
Tozo T10S are rated 1meters any depth more than that they will be damaged. Devices that can withstand more water pressure are better for swimming.
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Sony WF 1000XM4 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Tozo T10S stay well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Tozo T10S have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Tozo T10S by 2mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Tozo T10S'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 on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Tozo T10S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Sony WF 1000XM4 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Tozo T10S
The Sony WF 1000XM4 have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
The Tozo T10S's battery life is 8 hours, a device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
Sony WF 1000XM4's battery life is
equal to that of the Tozo T10S
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Tozo T10S's case is said to have a charge of 28 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Sony WF 1000XM4's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less than that of Tozo T10S by 12 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Tozo T10S's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Sony WF 1000XM4 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Tozo T10S by 0.5 hours
The Sony WF 1000XM4, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply put down on a compatible charging pad.
Tozo T10S have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and case.
Sony WF 1000XM4 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Tozo T10S have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Sony WF 1000XM4 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
Tozo T10S have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Sony WF 1000XM4 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Tozo T10S
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Tozo T10S have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Tozo T10S support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Tozo T10S will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Sony WF 1000XM4 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.
Sony WF 1000XM4 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
