Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony LinkBuds S
✓
JLab Go Air Pop ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air Pop by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

Lowest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
20Hz
JLab Go Air Pop 20Hz
The JLab Go Air Pop's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
40,000Hz
JLab Go Air Pop 20,000Hz
JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Sony LinkBuds S can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air Pop
