Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX5, the Boult Audio Z40's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means 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 Boult Audio Z40, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire
and that of liquids is that,
Boult Audio Z40 has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air

Boult Audio Z40's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass Boult Audio Z40's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can produce equal treble The Boult Audio Z40's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
