Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Urbanista Copenhagen's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means 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, Nothing Ear 1 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
The Nothing Ear 1 have a weight of 9.4g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Urbanista Copenhagen are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Nothing Ear 1 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Urbanista Copenhagen are resistant to sweat
Nothing Ear 1's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
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 Nothing Ear 1 and Urbanista Copenhagen have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Nothing Ear 1 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Nothing Ear 1 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
The Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the device.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 0.4mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 1'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 a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Nothing Ear 1's battery life is
less than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 3 hours
. Each 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.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Urbanista Copenhagen's case is said to have a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Nothing Ear 1's charging case has a battery life of 29 hours,
more than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 5 hours

Urbanista Copenhagen have 4 microphones.
While the Nothing Ear 1 microphones are 6,
more than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
