IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating is read as, the first value 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.
Compared to the JLab Go Air, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
JLab Go Air has a lower dust resistance than Jabra Elite 7 Pro
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
weigh more than the JLab Go Air with a difference of 0.8g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together.
JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
Jabra Elite 7 Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that they will be spoilt. Devices that have a higher depth rating are better for diving.
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JLab Go Air stay well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
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 produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the device.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 2mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, 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.
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices 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, using high magnetic flux.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JLab Go Air's case has a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 9 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JLab Go Air's battery capacity is 43mAh, battery power, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a supported charging pad.
The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and case.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have 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 close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
While the Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 6
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
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 calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest mic frequency is 8000Hz, high frequencies are best for picking up treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is known as its upper limiting frequency.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing them
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
