Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Urbanista Copenhagen's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Urbanista Copenhagen, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a weight of 12.5g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Urbanista Copenhagen are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds .

Urbanista Copenhagen 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 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted 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 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II driver unit is 9.3mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2.7mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Urbanista Copenhagen's measurement is 115dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is 8 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.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's battery life is
less than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

newer than that of Urbanista Copenhagen
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Urbanista Copenhagen
Urbanista Copenhagen support AAC, a codec that is 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 a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Urbanista Copenhagen 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 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II 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.
