Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Tour Pro 2
✓
JLab Go Air ✗
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Tour Pro 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
JBL Tour Pro 2
✓
JLab Go Air ✓
JLab Go Air stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Tour Pro 2
10mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
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 makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 2mm
, a common assumption 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Tour Pro 2
20Hz
JLab Go Air 20Hz
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Tour Pro 2
20000Hz
JLab Go Air 20000Hz
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Tour Pro 2
✗
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
JBL Tour Pro 2
✗
JLab Go Air ✓
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
