Both JLab Go Air Pop and JLab Epic Air Sport have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter 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 adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The JLab Epic Air Sport have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. The JLab Epic Air Sport sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both JLab Go Air Pop, and JLab Epic Air Sport have passive noise reduction this implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively 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 basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds. JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. JLab Epic Air Sport's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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. JLab Go Air Pop's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW.
How loud something is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. 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 have to charge the device less often.
JLab Go Air Pop's battery life is
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 7 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
