IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance 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 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, 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
The JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air with a difference of 1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.
The Beats Fit Pro come with wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as 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.
The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Beats Fit Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background noise while 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 both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
JLab Go Air have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
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
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate 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.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any 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
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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, a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JLab Go Air's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually 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 earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and JLab Go Air's case is said to have a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 6 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Go Air by 0.5 hours
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and case.
Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The Beats Fit Pro support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, 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.
JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance to connect 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 that is 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 Beats Fit Pro will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
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 earbuds to filter out noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness 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 sound that the microphone can pick up.
Beats Fit Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
Beats Fit Pro have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
