Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating is read as, the first value of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and of liquids that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher dust resistance than JLab Go Air
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
JLab Go Air, at 10g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 by -15g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 3's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both JLab Go Air, and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air'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, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 3's measurement is 102dB/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 something is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly 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's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening 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 JBL Endurance Peak 3's case has a charge of 40 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
JLab Go Air's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 25 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
JLab Go Air takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 0.5 hours
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables 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 JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JLab Go Air have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since 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 JBL Endurance Peak 3 will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have 4 microphones.
While the JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
