IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust 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, while the second refers to protection 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 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, Powerbeats Pro 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
The JLab Go Air Pop have a weight of 7.4g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air Pop with a difference of 12.9g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air Pop are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds .
JLab Go Air Pop have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JLab Go Air Pop have stereo speakers, what this means is that JLab Go Air Pop's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air Pop sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. JLab Go Air Pop have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Powerbeats Pro 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver 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 generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Powerbeats Pro can make sound with a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air Pop
JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. 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.
The 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air Pop
It requires 2.2 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air Pop's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1.5 hours
The JLab Go Air Pop have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and charging case. Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. The JLab Go Air Pop support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
The JLab Go Air Pop have Bluetooth version of 5.1, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of JLab Go Air Pop
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The JLab Go Air Pop have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Powerbeats Pro 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 well with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Powerbeats Pro support AAC as well.
Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. JLab Go Air Pop have 2 microphones. While the Powerbeats Pro 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.
The JLab Go Air Pop microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa. The magnitude 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 Pop support fast charging. Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds. Powerbeats Pro support fast charging.
It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery fills up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in thirty minutes. The JLab Go Air Pop have a mute function, they have the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.
