IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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 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, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher dust resistance than JLab Go Air
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Go Air has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air by of 3g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds .
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
JBL Reflect Aero TWS'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 separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 3 hours
. Each 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 has a full charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself. JBL Reflect Aero TWS'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 fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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 notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to 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 movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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 TWS have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones. JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount 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 pick up.
The JLab Go Air, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device. JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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 support voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have voice prompts meaning the device will notify you when the battery is low, and it's time to recharge the device.
