IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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. Compared to the JLab Go Air Pop, Marshall Minor III 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
JLab Go Air Pop have a weight of 7.4g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Marshall Minor III, at 8g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air Pop with a difference of 0.6g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air Pop are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Marshall Minor III also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds .
JLab Go Air Pop are resistant to sweat
Marshall Minor III'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, what this means is that JLab Go Air Pop's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Marshall Minor III also have stereo speakers
The JLab Go Air Pop sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out .
The JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the device. Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 6mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate 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 frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices 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 generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Marshall Minor III's battery life is
less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 3 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 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 multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Marshall Minor III's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1 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 extended periods.
Marshall Minor III 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 notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case. Marshall Minor III 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 support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Marshall Minor III too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
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. Marshall Minor III has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
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.
Marshall Minor III 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. 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 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 JLab Go Air Pop have 2 microphones.
The Marshall Minor III microphones are 2,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device 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 sound that the microphone can recognize. JLab Go Air Pop support fast charging. Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device.
The Marshall Minor III too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling 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 earbuds. The Marshall Minor III too have this function. The mute function means that you are in position turn off the device's microphone, but still hear the other party talk.
