Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating for solids indicates 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 of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. Compared to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a higher dust resistance than JLab Go Air
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Go Air has a lower liquid rating than Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a weight of 9g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g
weigh more than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by of 1g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JLab Go Air and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus stay well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both JLab Go Air, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a unit size of 9mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device. JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can make sound with a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JLab Go Air's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW.
How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 2.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a charge of 12.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. JLab Go Air's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 2.5 hours
It takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
JLab Go Air takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1 hours
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case. JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Bluetooth version of 5.1, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JLab Go Air has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

equal to that of the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because 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 Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus will work well with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are better for recording treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its upper limiting frequency.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest mic frequency is 100Hz, low frequencies are best for recording bass. The lowest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its lower limiting frequency. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
When lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support the find earbuds feature.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to charge the earbuds.
