Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP66, the JLab Epic Air Sport's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and the second number 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..
In comparison 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,
JLab Epic Air Sport has a lower liquid rating than Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The JLab Epic Air Sport have a weight of 20g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are lighter than the JLab Epic Air Sport by -9g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JLab Epic Air Sport are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires.
This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter 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 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
JLab Epic Air Sport have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time. The JLab Epic Air Sport sit well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
JLab Epic Air Sport have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of 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
, as many tend to believe 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 mean 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 device produces low audible frequencies 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
The JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, 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. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW.
How loud something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard 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 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.
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 listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JLab Epic Air Sport's case has a full charge of 55 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables 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 takes 3 hours to fully charge the JLab Epic Air Sport's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.

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 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JLab Epic Air Sport will work well with your MacBook. If you intend 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.
