Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)

JLab Audio Play ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JLab Audio Play ✗
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Lowest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Space Q45
20Hz
JLab Audio Play 20Hz
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. JLab Audio Play's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Space Q45
40000Hz
JLab Audio Play 20000Hz
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. JLab Audio Play's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Anker Soundcore Space Q45 got a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Audio Play
Sound Pressure Level
Anker Soundcore Space Q45
100dB/mW
JLab Audio Play 110dB/mW
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Play's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW.
Driver Unit Size
Anker Soundcore Space Q45
40mm
JLab Audio Play 40mm
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. JLab Audio Play driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Impedance
Anker Soundcore Space Q45
✗
JLab Audio Play 32Ohms
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. JLab Audio Play's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Has A Neodymium Magnet

JLab Audio Play ✓
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The JLab Audio Play have this type of magnet.
