IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, 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 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 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.
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 prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
JLab Go Air, at 10g
weigh more than the JLab Go Air Pop by of 2.6g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air Pop are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air Pop are resistant to sweat
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JLab Go Air and JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air Pop sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of 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
, as many tend to believe 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 mean that they produce better quality sound.
The JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component 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 produce equal bass
The JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, 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.
JLab Go Air's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, 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 many 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 in storage 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
The JLab Go Air Pop have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
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 enables data transfers between devices placed in range, 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 used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JLab Go Air Pop will work fine with your iPhone. 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 JLab Go Air Pop have 2 microphones.
The JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
JLab Go Air Pop microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa. The size 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 sound that the microphone can pick up.
JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. Microphone sensitivity is a measurement of a microphone's efficiency on how well it converts voices to electrical energy.
JLab Go Air Pop support fast charging. Commonly, 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.
