IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
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.
Compared 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 take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air by of 1.2g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each 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, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, what this means is that JLab Go Air's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
JLab Go Air sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Beats Fit Pro, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which 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, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of 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
, many people have a misconception 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level 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. How loud a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
Beats Fit Pro too have it, devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. It is also known that they have more bass and clearer high notes.
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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely 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 manufacturer, and JLab Go Air's case has a full charge of 15 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.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 6 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery. It is recommended to fully charge 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's battery capacity is 43mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Beats Fit Pro's battery power is 55mAh.
more than that of JLab Go Air by 12mAh
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your earbuds and case.
Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
Beats Fit Pro use USB TYPE-C, an industry-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 transfers 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.
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 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 a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Fit Pro will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Beats Fit Pro have a latency of 70ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
The Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
Beats Fit Pro have a noise-canceling type of 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 size 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 recognize.
The Beats Fit Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
The Beats Fit Pro support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears .
