Jlab Go Air Pop Vs. Apple Airpods Pro (2Nd Gen) Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means 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 for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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 Pro (2nd 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 . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g weigh more than the JLab Go Air Pop by of 3.2g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air Pop are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds together.

JLab Go Air Pop have sweat resistance Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers JLab Go Air Pop stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. The JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 5mm , many people have a misconception 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 deliver better quality sound.

JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass The JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can generate equal treble The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s battery life is less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 2 hours . Each 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.

A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 24 hours, equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop It requires 2.2 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air Pop's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1.2 hours JLab Go Air Pop have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow 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, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. JLab Go Air Pop have Bluetooth version of 5.1, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a Bluetooth version of 5.3, newer 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 Pro (2nd Gen) have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop JLab Go Air Pop support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 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.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd 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.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd 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 background sounds. The JLab Go Air Pop microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa. The magnitude 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 earbud microphone can recognize. The JLab Go Air Pop support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device.
