Design
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
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.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
These earbuds come with wingtips that can be attached for a more secure fit. Wingtips come in handy for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
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 earbud form is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. For some people it is more comfortable than in-ear form.
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Sound quality
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.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.

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.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
Power
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
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 time it takes to fully charge the battery.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
It supports a wireless charging standard such as Qi. To charge the device, you simply put it down on a compatible charging pad.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
Connectivity
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
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.
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
aptX Low Latency is 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 (e.g. when playing games).
aptX HD is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
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.

Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your headphones/earbuds. Lower latency reduces audio lag, and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
The device can connect at a greater distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
Features
Ambient sound mode uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.
Sensors can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life.
You can use the app to play a sound from your earbuds to help you locate them.
Fast charging technologies, like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge or MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Just info, i never tried Airpods Pro & other premium TWS. I own Fiil T1 Lite and Huawei Freebuds Pro. Freebuds Pro sounds more muffled & kinda dark sounding. The Bass is nice, but the upper bass is too emphasized, making the bass bleed over the vocal. The Vocal is actually pretty good, but i prefer a little more boosted upper mid too make the sounds more engaging. The Treble is too tamed or too smooth for my taste, i really have to EQ the Treble section by boosting it pretty far to be enjoyable for my taste. The Soundstage for TWS is pretty good. The Imaging still not really impressive imo. The volume is apparently not really loud enough for my taste, i'm a volume junker guy, Freebuds Pro makes me really disappointed in this section. Even ignoring the price point, i think T1 Lite is still a better sounding one in terms of tonality, it's more clean and more natural. It's also much louder. But the Technicality especially on the Soundstage & Imaging section is actually worse than the Freebuds Pro, not by a huge margin, but for me it's noticable. Talking about features & user experience, well to be honest there're lots of things i love in the Freebuds Pro. The fitting & the comfort for me is really good, actually T1 Lite feels a little more comfortable, but T1 Lite's fitting is a big minus compare to Freebuds Pro. The controlls is just perfect for me! I love that you can control the volume by sliding your finger, i love that there's a tactile sound if you press and hold the control area, and most of the time the control feels responsive! The smart wear detection sometimes kinda hit and miss in my experience, i prefer to turn off this feature and i'm still fine without that feature. The ANC Mode, for my first time ANC experience i'm impressed, but apparently i'm not really using the ANC Mode that often, i dont have any comparison for this ANC quality, so far what i can say is the ANC feels pretty nice & it makes me impressed. The Awareness Mode, it's more or less the same impression with the ANC before, but actually i'm using this Awareness Mode way more often, so far i'm really enjoying this mode quite alot. Dual Connection features is actually really cool, but in my experience it's not really that seamless, there's a 3-5 sec delay when switching device audio source, but again it's still really cool and really nice to have imo. The design and build feels & looks nice imo, the only cons for me is fingerprint magnet, still easy to clean tho.
