Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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..
In comparison 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,
Google Pixel Buds Pro has a lower liquid rating than JLab Epic Air Sport
JLab Epic Air Sport have a weight of 20g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with. The Google Pixel Buds Pro, at 12.4g
are lighter than the JLab Epic Air Sport by -7.6g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Epic Air Sport are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires.
This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Google Pixel Buds Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
JLab Epic Air Sport have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit. Google Pixel Buds Pro too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, wingtips come in handy for sports and other physical activities.
When applied correctly, they secure the earbuds from falling off. JLab Epic Air Sport have sweat resistance
Google Pixel Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
JLab Epic Air Sport 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
JLab Epic Air Sport have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The JLab Epic Air Sport and Google Pixel Buds Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time. The JLab Epic Air Sport stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. JLab Epic Air Sport driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, 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 a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it 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
The sound pressure level, 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 perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get 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 before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, 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
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely 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 the JLab Epic Air Sport's case has a full charge of 55 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. 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 recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Google Pixel Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 2 hours
The JLab Epic Air Sport, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a supported charging pad.
