Jlab Go Air Pop Vs. Apple Airpods (3Rd Gen) Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rating 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 such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Having a value of IPX4, the JLab Go Air Pop's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the JLab Go Air Pop, Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) have a rating of IPX4 meaning that we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust) and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids The JLab Go Air Pop have a weight of 7.4g .
