IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating for solids indicates 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..
In comparison 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,
JLab Go Air has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 3
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
JLab Go Air, at 10g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 with a difference -15g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each 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 good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JLab Go Air and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
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 determines the sound produced by the device.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2mm
, as many tend to believe 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible 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
both devices produce equal bass
JBL Endurance Peak 3'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 while at it.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, 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. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 requires fewer chargings.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 5 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.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Endurance Peak 3's case has a charge of 40 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables 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 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,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 0.5 hours
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, 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.
The 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. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 will work well 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.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have 4 microphones.
The JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount 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.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
