Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating for solids indicates 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. In comparison to the JLab Go Air, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
JLab Go Air has a lower dust resistance than JBL Reflect Aero TWS
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS, 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 wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together. JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
JBL Reflect Aero TWS'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 independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, 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 can produce equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments 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. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. 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 not noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 JLab Go Air's case is said to have 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 having to recharge 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 highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. 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 alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. The 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. 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
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones. JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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.
The 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 recognize.
The JLab Go Air, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have a control panel on them. 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 that has followed instruction manuals.
JLab Go Air have voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, like if there is a problem with the connection. JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have voice prompts meaning the earbuds notifies you if the battery is low, and you need to recharge the earbuds.
