IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the JLab Go Air Pop's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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. Compared to the JLab Go Air Pop, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Go Air Pop has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro
JLab Go Air Pop have a weight of 7.4g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
weigh more than the JLab Go Air Pop with a difference of 3.4g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air Pop are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .

JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device. Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies 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 an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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. 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 requires fewer chargings. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 JLab Go Air Pop's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop

Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. The JLab Go Air Pop support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. 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. Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of JLab Go Air Pop
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JLab Go Air Pop have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Jabra Elite 7 Pro 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.
Since 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 MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JLab Go Air Pop have 2 microphones. Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 6
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise. JLab Go Air Pop microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa.
The amount of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can recognize. The JLab Go Air Pop support fast charging.
Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device. Also the Jabra Elite 7 Pro support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster.
For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in just 30 minutes. The JLab Go Air Pop have a mute function, they have the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have the mute function.
