IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance 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 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, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
JLab Go Air Pop have a weight of 7.4g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g are heavier than the JLab Go Air Pop by of 2.6g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting 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 difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds . JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds together. JLab Go Air Pop have sweat resistance JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers The JLab Go Air Pop stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out . Both JLab Go Air, and JLab Go Air Pop have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 2mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. The JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices make sound with equal bass JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices 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.
JLab Go Air's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. 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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JLab Go Air's battery life is less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 3 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and 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 multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. JLab Go Air's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours, less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 9 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 long periods. JLab Go Air takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 0.7 hours JLab Go Air Pop have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. JLab Go Air Pop support 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 movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JLab Go Air 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 to connect via Bluetooth. JLab Go Air 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 MacBook.
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. JLab Go Air Pop have 2 microphones. JLab Go Air microphones are 2, equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop . More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
The 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 microphone can recognize.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. Microphone sensitivity is a measurement of a microphone's efficiency as a transducer. JLab Go Air Pop support fast charging.
Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge a device. JLab Go Air Pop have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The JLab Go Air Pop, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the device.
