Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. JBL Wave Buds are resistant to sweat
JBL Wave Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Wave Buds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. JBL Wave Buds stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same. The JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm 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 earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made by the device. The JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The JBL Wave Buds'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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Wave Buds's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Buds's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. The JBL Wave Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and case. The JBL Wave Buds use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. The JBL Wave Buds 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 Wave Buds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. JBL Wave Buds support AAC, a codec 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 JBL Wave Buds will work fine 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 JBL Wave Buds support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
The JBL Wave Buds have 2 microphones. JBL Wave Buds use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound.
JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing them
The JBL Wave Buds have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused. If misplaced in a room, or can't be found in your bag, JBL Wave Buds have a find earbuds feature. The JBL Wave Buds support fast charging.
Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds have a multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
JBL Wave Buds have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds. The JBL Wave Buds support voice prompts.
With voice prompts, you receive information via audio messages, like if there is a problem with the connection. JBL Wave Buds come with a special pouch. Carrying earphones openly, or placing them in your bag without a casing may easily damage them.
