Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JLab Go Air ✗
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Nothing Ear 1 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Nothing Ear 1
11.6mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
The JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 3.6mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Nothing Ear 1
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 frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Nothing Ear 1
20,000Hz
JLab Go Air 20,000Hz
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Nothing Ear 1
✗
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
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.
