Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Nothing Ear 1

JLab Go Air ✗
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "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, creating a sound covering 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 limit 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, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates 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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate 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 inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters 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
20000Hz
JLab Go Air 20000Hz
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Nothing Ear 1
✗
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Nothing Ear 1

JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
