Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP66, the JLab Epic Air Sport's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and the second value of 6 means 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, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than JLab Epic Air Sport
The JLab Epic Air Sport have a weight of 20g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are lighter than the JLab Epic Air Sport with a difference -9g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Epic Air Sport are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables.
This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JLab Epic Air Sport have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have wingtips, by resting against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, they come in handy for sports and other physical activities. If used correctly, they secure the earbuds from falling off. JLab Epic Air Sport are resistant to sweat
Galaxy Buds 2 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, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JLab Epic Air Sport have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The JLab Epic Air Sport and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
JLab Epic Air Sport sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and JLab Epic Air Sport have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. The JLab Epic Air Sport driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce 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 frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce 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.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud something 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. 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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 7 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JLab Epic Air Sport's case is said to have a charge of 55 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 37 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 for the first time. The JLab Epic Air Sport, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a compatible charging pad.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds. JLab Epic Air Sport have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery. JLab Epic Air Sport support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too use USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. JLab Epic Air Sport have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of JLab Epic Air Sport
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JLab Epic Air Sport have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
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 provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JLab Epic Air Sport will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
