Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak, 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,
JBL Endurance Peak has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
JBL Endurance Peak have a weight of 30g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak with a difference -20g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak have wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
JBL Endurance Peak have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent 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
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
JBL Endurance Peak have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The JLab Go Air sit well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
The JBL Endurance Peak have a unit size of 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 dictates the sound made by the device.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 2mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak produce a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air
The JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
The JBL Endurance Peak's battery life is 4 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 requires fewer chargings.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 1 hours
. Each 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.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Endurance Peak's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 by 9 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully 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 by 0.5 hours
JBL Endurance Peak's battery power is 75mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
JLab Go Air's battery power is 43mAh.
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 32mAh
The JBL Endurance Peak have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The JBL Endurance Peak have Bluetooth version of 4.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JLab Go Air has a Bluetooth version of 5,
newer than that of JBL Endurance Peak
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JLab Go Air have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak
The JBL Endurance Peak have 1 microphones.
JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 1
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help 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 calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can pick up.
The JBL Endurance Peak, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device.
JLab Go Air too have a control panel on them.
JBL Endurance Peak have a warranty period of 1 Years, the period of time that warrant free repair and adjustment services in case of a malfunction occurring under normal use following instruction manuals.
