Jbl Wave Buds Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes 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 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. The JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.

True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds . JBL Wave Buds have sweat resistance JBL Wave Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Wave Buds's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise.

ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

JBL Wave Buds stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. The JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its 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 device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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. JBL Wave Buds'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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Wave Buds's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Buds's battery.

It is highly adivsable 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. Its lights show the charging status of your device and case.

JBL Wave Buds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.

JBL Wave Buds 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 a similar bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Wave Buds will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. 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 intended to reduce noise from the desired sound. The JBL Wave Buds microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa.

The magnitude 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 earbud microphone can recognize. JBL Wave Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds JBL Wave Buds support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears . If misplaced in a room, or can't be found in your bag, the JBL Wave Buds support the find earbuds feature.
