IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the JEET W1S's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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.
The JEET W1S have a weight of 18g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Ultimate Ears Drops are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
The Ultimate Ears Drops come with wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JEET W1S too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, they are best suited for sports and other physical activities. If used correctly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
Ultimate Ears Drops have sweat resistance
JEET W1S's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Ultimate Ears Drops are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Ultimate Ears Drops have stereo speakers, what this means is that Ultimate Ears Drops's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JEET W1S and Ultimate Ears Drops have stereo speakers
Ultimate Ears Drops sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Ultimate Ears Drops driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
JEET W1S driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Ultimate Ears Drops by 1.8mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Ultimate Ears Drops's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JEET W1S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Ultimate Ears Drops's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JEET W1S's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Ultimate Ears Drops's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JEET W1S's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Ultimate Ears Drops's battery life is 6 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JEET W1S's battery life is
more than that of Ultimate Ears Drops by 5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Ultimate Ears Drops's case is said to have a full charge of 9 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
The Ultimate Ears Drops, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you just place down on a compatible charging pad.
Ultimate Ears Drops have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.

older than that of Ultimate Ears Drops
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Ultimate Ears Drops have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JEET W1S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Ultimate Ears Drops
Ultimate Ears Drops support AAC, a codec that is 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 a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Ultimate Ears Drops will work well with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JEET W1S 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 JEET W1S 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.
The Ultimate Ears Drops support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
JEET W1S support APTX Adaptive as well which means both can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as reducing interference from other devices.
JEET W1S 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 JEET W1S 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. JEET W1S have a latency of 88ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
