Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating is read as, the first number of 4 denotes that they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire, and the second number 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, Beats Fit Pro 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 consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air with a difference of 1.2g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
The Beats Fit Pro come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
Beats Fit Pro'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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Beats Fit Pro and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JLab Go Air stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Beats Fit Pro, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the device.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 1.5mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce 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.
Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 2 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 no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and JLab Go Air's case has a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.

Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Go Air by 0.5 hours

Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Beats Fit Pro use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
The JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
Beats Fit Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Fit Pro will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
While the Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
The Beats Fit Pro have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent 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 sound that the earbud microphone can pick up.
Beats Fit Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
