Design
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
The in-ear device is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. It is inserted in the ear canal itself and blocks out a lot of environmental noise. It has stronger bass tones and is unlikely to fall out of the ear.
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.

A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
A coil cable offers more flexibility, as it can be further extended when in use, as well as retracted to take up less space when not in use.
Sound quality
1.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
✖Bose Bluetooth Series 2
✔Plantronics Voyager Legend UC
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
3.lowest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
5.highest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
6.driver unit size

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
7.sound pressure level
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
8.impedance
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
9.diaphragm size
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The diaphragm moves air back and forth to create sound. The bigger the diaphragm, the more bass it can produce.
Microphone
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
A wind noise reduction microphone is designed to reduce wind interference, providing sharper audio in windy situations.
4.mic sensitivity
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
5.lowest mic frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
6.highest mic frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bose Bluetooth Series 2)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.
The microphone can be attached or detached if necessary.

The battery life of the charging case as given by the manufacturer. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your headphones on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Connectivity
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
The device can connect at a greater distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
802.11ac wireless works on the 5GHz frequency range. It offers higher transfer rates, improved reliability, and improved power consumption. It provides advantages for gaming and HD video streaming.
