Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents 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 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, Nothing Ear 1 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

Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Nothing Ear 1'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.
