Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Beam
✓
JLab Go Air Pop ✗
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Beam have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
JBL Wave Beam
✓
JLab Go Air Pop ✓
The JBL Wave Beam sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Beam
8mm
JLab Go Air Pop 6mm
The JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the device.
JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 2mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20hz
JLab Go Air Pop 20hz
The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20,000hz
JLab Go Air Pop 20,000hz
The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Beam
100db/mw
JLab Go Air Pop 103db/mw
SPL, 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 Pop's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
