Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to 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 value 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, Nothing Ear 1 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 take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g weigh less than the JLab Go Air by -0.6g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Nothing Ear 1 also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds . JLab Go Air have sweat resistance Nothing Ear 1's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during 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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Nothing Ear 1 and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers The JLab Go Air sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Nothing Ear 1, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit 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, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of 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
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies 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 make sound with equal bass JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high human 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 can produce equal treble SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, 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 before recharge.
