Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the JLab Go Air Pop's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison 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

JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the earbuds. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) can produce a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air Pop
The JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air Pop's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The JLab Go Air Pop's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s battery life is
less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 2 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.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JLab Go Air Pop's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 6 hours
It requires 2.2 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air Pop's battery.

less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1.9 hours
JLab Go Air Pop have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The JLab Go Air Pop use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. The JLab Go Air Pop have Bluetooth version of 5.1, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of JLab Go Air Pop
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JLab Go Air Pop have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop
JLab Go Air Pop support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JLab Go Air Pop will work well with your iPad.
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. The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
JLab Go Air Pop have 2 microphones. While the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise. The JLab Go Air Pop microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa.
The vastness of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up. The JLab Go Air Pop support fast charging.
Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge a device. The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) too support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster.
