Overall Score 5.1 Represents average audio ecosystem compatibility score.
Overall Score 4.9 Represents average audio ecosystem compatibility score.
IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, 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 (water).
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 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.
Compared to the JLab Go Air, Mpow Flame S have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Mpow Flame S has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Mpow Flame S have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
Mpow Flame S'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, what this means is that JLab Go Air's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Mpow Flame S and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Mpow Flame S have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
JLab Go Air stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology 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 device, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, 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.
The sound pressure level, 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.
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
The JLab Go Air's battery life is 5 hours, a device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 7 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JLab Go Air's case has a 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.
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 long periods.
JLab Go Air's battery capacity is 43mAh, battery power, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and case.
Mpow Flame S too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
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.
Mpow Flame S has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Mpow Flame S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
Mpow Flame S support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Mpow Flame S will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
Mpow Flame S support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
Mpow Flame S support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Mpow Flame S support APTX Low Latency, a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag for example when playing games.
The Mpow Flame S support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
Mpow Flame S have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size 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 sound that the microphone can recognize.
Mpow Flame S support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The Mpow Flame S support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
If misplaced in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, Mpow Flame S have a find earbuds feature.
The Mpow Flame S support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to charge a device.
Mpow Flame S have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.
With the JLab Go Air, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds.
Mpow Flame S 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 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.
The Mpow Flame S also have voice prompts meaning the earbuds will notify you when the battery is low, and you need to recharge the earbuds.
Mpow Flame S come with a special pouch. Carrying earbuds openly, or putting them inside your bag without a casing may easily damage them.
