This is not a complete review of each aspects and functions of Jenny V5.1.
This is about only one feature but the most: sound quality.

I have here the original retail one. Yes, that stunning expensive one. I also have here a Jenny V5.1. For some time I’ve been noticing the sound quality of both seemed very similar. But are they?

Then I decide to check.
Conditions: dark room, closed eyes, same music Pentatonix’s “Sound of silence” version, both AirPods connected to my iPhone.

I SHUFFLED them and picked one pair. No idea which one were.

I placed the first unknown set and started the music. Listened till end. I paid as much attention to every detail of sound as I could. Good sound 👍.
Then I removed them, picked up the other set and listened the same music from start to end paying same attention .

When I finished listening with the second set… what??? I COULD NOT tell which were which!

Ok, so I swap the AirPods again and repeated the experience. At the end I was STILL confused. I felt small differences but incredibly I was still in doubt.

Only after comparing 4 times I could notice one of them was slightly well defined in high frequencies and flatter in low then the other. So I pointed that with a TINNY better balance of frequencies as being the Apple one.

I was right.
But I have to confess: that was much more difficult then I imagined it would be.

Conclusion: Apple’s has high frequencies more well defined while V5.1 has low (bass) a little heavier and because of that high frequencies are a little faded.
But by little I really mean LITTLE, very little.

I compared the sound quality of both side to side so I can tell for sure that for an ordinary daily use they are pretty much the same!

Very impressed!

P.S.: I’d like to make it clear that this was a sound quality test only. I didn’t compare anything else. If you want to know more about the differences in functions there are reviews testing them way much better than what I did.

But about sound quality I must leave my WOW to V5.1 🤯

Same music, 100% volume, same iPhone, no equalization active and so.

With reasonably loud music on, is a very little different. Much less noticeable than without music. Kind of obvious but external noise perception drops as music sound volumes rises. At low music volume then the different percentage above is importantly noticeable depending on the style of music you are listening. For workout music it’s ok but otherwise it’s something to really take into consideration. Remember: I’m talking about noisy environment.

Waiting Jenny’s AIT V5.1 to compare. It’s on the way 😅
