IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Urbanista Copenhagen's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Urbanista Copenhagen, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
Urbanista Copenhagen has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a weight of 13g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Urbanista Copenhagen are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Urbanista Copenhagen are resistant to sweat
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Urbanista Copenhagen have stereo speakers, what this means is that Urbanista Copenhagen's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and Urbanista Copenhagen have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background noise while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 5.2mm
, a common assumption 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. 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 chargings.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is
equal to that of the Urbanista Copenhagen
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, 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.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Urbanista Copenhagen's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 8 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Urbanista Copenhagen's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Urbanista Copenhagen

JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Urbanista Copenhagen support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Urbanista Copenhagen
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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 iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have 4 microphones.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS microphones are 6,
more than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
