Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and the second value of 8 means 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 Pop have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Go Air Pop 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 for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
JLab Go Air Pop, at 7.4g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 by -17.6g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air Pop also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air Pop's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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 Pop and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers
JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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 Pop's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get 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 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
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Endurance Peak 3's case is said to have a charge of 40 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
JLab Go Air Pop's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 16 hours
It requires 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 for the first time.
JLab Go Air Pop takes 2.2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 0.2 hours

JLab Go Air Pop too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JLab Go Air Pop too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JLab Go Air Pop has a Bluetooth version of 5.1,
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 Pop 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 provides better results than other codecs at the same 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 JLab Go Air Pop support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have 4 microphones.
While the JLab Go Air Pop microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds.
JLab Go Air Pop microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa. The vastness 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 voice that the microphone can recognize.
