IP ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection 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.
In comparison 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,

The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Nothing Ear 1 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JLab Go Air Pop stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .

both devices can produce equal bass
The JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes 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
