IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
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, Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
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.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
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.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JLab Go Air stay well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The 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 dictates the loudness of the device.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro driver unit is 13mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 5mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce 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.
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
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.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4 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 no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, 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 several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 10 hours
It takes 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 in storage for long periods.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 0.5 hours
JLab Go Air's battery power is 43mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's battery power is 60mAh.
more than that of JLab Go Air by 17mAh
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and case.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
The JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro 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.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
The 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 voice that the microphone can pick up.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro support fast charging. Usually, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to charge the earbuds.
