Price comparison
Design
1.has stereo speakers
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
2.has an over-the-ear form
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
3.has a detachable cable
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
4.sweat resistance
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
5.weight
11.4g
13g
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.
6.weather-sealed (splashproof)
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
Sound quality
1.lowest frequency
10Hz
20Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
40000Hz
20000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.has passive noise reduction
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
4.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
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.
5.sound pressure level
116dB/mW
107dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
6.impedance
18 Ohms
16 Ohms
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.
Power
1.Battery life
8h
4h
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.
2.has a rechargeable battery
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
3.charge time
2h
2h
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
4.has a battery level indicator
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
5.battery power
120mAh
85mAh
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.
6.has a removable battery
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Connectivity
1.Can be used wirelessly
AKG N5005
B&O Beoplay E8
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
2.Bluetooth version
4.1
4.2
