IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating is read as, the first number 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. In comparison 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
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g
are lighter than the JLab Go Air by -0.6g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Nothing Ear 1 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
Nothing Ear 1's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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 Nothing Ear 1 and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The 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 device, the unit size determines the loudness of the device. 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, 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. 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 requires fewer chargings. Nothing Ear 1's battery life is
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 JLab Go Air's case has a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Nothing Ear 1's charging case has a battery life of 29 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 14 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. Nothing Ear 1 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
Nothing Ear 1 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, 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 close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Nothing Ear 1 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. Nothing Ear 1 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones. Nothing Ear 1 microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness 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.
The JLab Go Air, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. The Nothing Ear 1 also 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 following instruction manuals.
If covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Nothing Ear 1 have a warranty period of 1Years,
less than that of JLab Go Air by 1 Years
.
JLab Go Air have voice prompts. Automatically receive information through audio messages, like if there is a problem with the connection.
The Nothing Ear 1 too support voice prompts .i.e the earbuds will notify you when the battery is low, and it's time to recharge the earbuds.
