Jlab Go Air Vs. Jbl Reflect Aero Review

IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

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 of liquids 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, JBL Reflect Aero have a rating of IP68 meaning that JBL Reflect Aero has a higher dust resistance than JLab Go Air and that of liquids is that, JBL Reflect Aero 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 JBL Reflect Aero, at 13g are heavier than the JLab Go Air with a difference of 3g 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 an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. JBL Reflect Aero also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat JBL Reflect Aero'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, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

Both JBL Reflect Aero and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers The JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. JLab Go Air have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.

JBL Reflect Aero driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 1.2mm , 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 mean that they deliver 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 alters the signal on its way through.

JBL Reflect Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Reflect Aero's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices produce 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.

JBL Reflect Aero's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective 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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. JBL Reflect Aero'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 playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JLab Go Air's case is said to have a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Reflect Aero's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours, more than that of JLab Go Air by 1 hours It takes 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. JBL Reflect Aero takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, equal to that of the JLab Go Air The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case.

JBL Reflect Aero too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. 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. JBL Reflect Aero 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 connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Reflect Aero have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JLab Go Air JLab Go Air have 2 microphones. The JBL Reflect Aero microphones are 6, more than that of JLab Go Air by 4 . More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds 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 calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can pick up.

With the JLab Go Air, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds. JBL Reflect Aero too 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 have voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, say if there is an issue with the connection. The JBL Reflect Aero also have voice prompts .i.e the earbuds notifies you when the battery is low, and it's time to recharge them.
