IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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 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.
JLab Go Air Pop have a weight of 7.4g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air Pop are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Tour Pro 2 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .
JLab Go Air Pop are resistant to sweat
JBL Tour Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers, what this means is that JLab Go Air Pop's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Tour Pro 2 and JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
JLab Go Air Pop stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both JBL Tour Pro 2, and JLab Go Air Pop have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using ANC 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 makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 4mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with 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 produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is
more 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.
This is given by the manufacturer, and JLab Go Air Pop's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Tour Pro 2'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. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
The JLab Go Air Pop have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
JLab Go Air Pop use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
JLab Go Air Pop have Bluetooth version of 5.1, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Tour Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
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.
JBL Tour Pro 2 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 provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JLab Go Air Pop will work fine with your iPad. 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 JBL Tour Pro 2 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.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
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.
