IP ratings refer to the level 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 means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Urbanista Copenhagen's rating for solids indicates 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.
Compared to the Urbanista Copenhagen, 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,
Urbanista Copenhagen has a lower liquid rating than Mpow Flame S
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Urbanista Copenhagen are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
The Mpow Flame S come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Urbanista Copenhagen have sweat resistance
Mpow Flame S's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Urbanista Copenhagen have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Mpow Flame S and Urbanista Copenhagen have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Mpow Flame S have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Mpow Flame S stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .
The Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
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, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and Urbanista Copenhagen's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case.
Mpow Flame S too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
Urbanista Copenhagen use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The Urbanista Copenhagen 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 Urbanista Copenhagen
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Mpow Flame S 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. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same 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 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.
The 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
Mpow Flame S 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 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).
The Urbanista Copenhagen have 4 microphones.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the desired sound.
The Mpow Flame S too use a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
