Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring 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 Studio Buds 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 best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
weigh less than the JLab Go Air with a difference -4.9g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
Beats Studio Buds'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 Studio Buds also have stereo speakers
The JLab Go Air sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. The JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 0.2mm
, a common assumption 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level 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 Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beats Studio Buds's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not 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 vendor, and JLab Go Air's case is said to have a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Beats Studio Buds's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 1 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Beats Studio Buds takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your earbuds and case. Beats Studio Buds too have a battery level indicator, these allow you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery. 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 Studio Buds has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Beats Studio Buds have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
The Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds. JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The magnitude 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 voice that the earbud microphone can recognize. With the JLab Go Air, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. Beats Studio Buds also have a control panel on them.
The JLab Go Air have a warranty period of 2 Years, the period of time that warrant free repair and adjustment services in case of a malfunction occurring under normal use following instruction manuals. The JLab Go Air support voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection.
The Beats Studio Buds too support voice prompts .i.e the device notifies you when the battery is low, and you need to recharge the device.
