IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP66, the JLab Epic Air Sport's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and of liquids that they can withstand high pressure jet that's 12.5mm diameter, similar to fire hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 meters..
Compared to the JLab Epic Air Sport, Google Pixel Buds Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Epic Air Sport has a higher liquid rating than Google Pixel Buds Pro
The JLab Epic Air Sport have a weight of 20g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with. Google Pixel Buds Pro, at 12.4g
weigh less than the JLab Epic Air Sport by -7.6g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Epic Air Sport are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables.
This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together. Google Pixel Buds Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds .
The JLab Epic Air Sport come with 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. Google Pixel Buds Pro too have wingtips, by resting against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities.
When applied rightly, they prevent the earbuds from falling off. JLab Epic Air Sport are resistant to sweat
Google Pixel Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
JLab Epic Air Sport have stereo speakers, what this means is that JLab Epic Air Sport's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Google Pixel Buds Pro and JLab Epic Air Sport have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JLab Epic Air Sport have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time. JLab Epic Air Sport stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. The JLab Epic Air Sport 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 earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 3mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Epic Air Sport's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Epic Air Sport's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 75dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The JLab Epic Air Sport's battery life is 15 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JLab Epic Air Sport's case has a charge of 55 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Google Pixel Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 35 hours
It requires 3 hours to fully charge the JLab Epic Air Sport's battery.
It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods. Google Pixel Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 2 hours
JLab Epic Air Sport, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
Google Pixel Buds Pro also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of a device. The JLab Epic Air Sport have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case.
Google Pixel Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The JLab Epic Air Sport use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Google Pixel Buds Pro too have USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.

equal to that of the JLab Epic Air Sport
JLab Epic Air Sport support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JLab Epic Air Sport will work fine with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

While the Google Pixel Buds Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the JLab Epic Air Sport
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. JLab Epic Air Sport have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The Google Pixel Buds Pro too have a noise-canceling type of microphone.
Especially useful in noisy areas. The JLab Epic Air Sport support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
