IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
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 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. JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
True wireless devices 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 an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Tour Pro 2 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
JBL Tour Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, what this means is that JLab Go Air's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JBL Tour Pro 2 and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. Both JBL Tour Pro 2, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The 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 makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, 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. The 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 have to charge the device less often. JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and JLab Go Air's case is said to have a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Tour Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 15 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery.
It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods. JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell 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 allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JBL Tour Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Tour Pro 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones. JBL Tour Pro 2 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 amount 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 earbud microphone can pick up.
With the JLab Go Air, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. The JBL Tour Pro 2 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. Automatically receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection. The JBL Tour Pro 2 too have voice prompts .i.e the device notifies you when the battery is low, and it's time to recharge the device.
