IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating for solids indicates that they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire, and the second value of 4 means 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, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g are heavier than the JLab Go Air by of 0.6g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds . JLab Go Air have sweat resistance Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also have stereo speakers The JLab Go Air sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass The JLab Go Air'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 changes to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can generate equal treble SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air'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's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s battery life is more than that of JLab Go Air by 1 hours . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JLab Go Air's case has a full charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 24 hours, more than that of JLab Go Air by 9 hours It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery.

JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JLab Go Air JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) microphones are 6, more than that of JLab Go Air by 4 . More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise. JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity.
It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can recognize. With the JLab Go Air, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also have a control panel on them.
