Both JLab Go Air Pop and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds well as preventing the device music from leaking out .
Both JLab Go Air Pop, and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce 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.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 4mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, 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 Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air Pop
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, 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 Pop's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JLab Go Air Pop's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
