IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Devialet Gemini 2, 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids

JLab Go Air, at 10g
are lighter than the Devialet Gemini 2 with a difference -2g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini 2 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Devialet Gemini 2 have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JLab Go Air and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Devialet Gemini 2 stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both JLab Go Air, and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Devialet Gemini 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 produce a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini 2's measurement is 120dB/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. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Devialet Gemini 2's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is 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
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini 2
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 Devialet Gemini 2's case has a full charge of 17 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JLab Go Air's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours,
less than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini 2's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JLab Go Air takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 0.5 hours
Devialet Gemini 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
Devialet Gemini 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your device and charging case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Devialet Gemini 2 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers 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 Devialet Gemini 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Devialet Gemini 2 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JLab Go Air have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini 2
Devialet Gemini 2 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Devialet Gemini 2 will work fine with your MacBook. If you are planning 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 Devialet Gemini 2 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Devialet Gemini 2 have 4 microphones.
While the JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
less than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
Devialet Gemini 2 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
The Devialet Gemini 2 support fast charging. Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge the earbuds.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
