Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Buds

JLab Go Air ✗
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
JBL Wave Buds
✓
JLab Go Air ✓
JBL Wave Buds stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
The JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making both JLab Go Air, and JBL Wave Buds 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
JLab Go Air 20Hz
The JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20000Hz
JLab Go Air 20000Hz
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds'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 perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
JBL Wave Buds
✗
JLab Go Air ✓
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
