Jbl Wave Beam Vs. Jlab Go Air Review

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered 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 say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the JBL Wave Beam, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that JLab Go Air has a lower dust resistance than JBL Wave Beam and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids The JBL Wave Beam have a weight of 8.8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

JLab Go Air, at 10g are heavier than the JBL Wave Beam with a difference of 1.2g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds . JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds . JBL Wave Beam have sweat resistance JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc JBL Wave Beam 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. The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.

ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.

JBL Wave Beam have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

The JBL Wave Beam sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The JBL Wave Beam have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.

JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get , many people have a misconception 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.

JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can generate equal treble The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/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, something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The JBL Wave Beam's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.

A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. JLab Go Air's battery life is less than that of JBL Wave Beam by 3 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.

This is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Wave Beam's case is said to have a charge of 24 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 Wave Beam by 9 hours It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Beam'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 Wave Beam by 0.5 hours JBL Wave Beam have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and case.

JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these allow you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. JBL Wave Beam use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. JBL Wave Beam have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows 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 Wave Beam . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Wave Beam have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. JLab Go Air have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam The JBL Wave Beam have 2 microphones.

The JLab Go Air microphones are 2, equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam . More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise. The JBL Wave Beam use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the desired sound. The JBL Wave Beam support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds When lost in a room, or can't be found in your bag, the JBL Wave Beam support the find earbuds feature.

JBL Wave Beam support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge a device. The JBL Wave Beam have a mute function, they support the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.

With the JBL Wave Beam, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the device. The JLab Go Air also have a control panel on them. JBL Wave Beam support voice prompts.

With voice prompts, you receive information via audio messages, like if there is a problem with the connection. The JLab Go Air too have voice prompts meaning the device will notify you if the battery is low, and it's time to recharge the earbuds. The JBL Wave Beam come with a special case.

Carrying earbuds openly, or placing them inside your pockets without a casing may easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
