Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Jabra Elite 5
✓
JLab Go Air ✗
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Elite 5 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both Jabra Elite 5, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Jabra Elite 5
6mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
The JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 5 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Jabra Elite 5
20Hz
JLab Go Air 20Hz
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Jabra Elite 5
20000Hz
JLab Go Air 20000Hz
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Jabra Elite 5
✗
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
The sound pressure level, 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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Jabra Elite 5
✗
JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
