IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance 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 of liquids 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, Powerbeats 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
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
weigh more than the JLab Go Air by of 10.3g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both Powerbeats Pro, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the earbuds. Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 4mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Powerbeats Pro can produce a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
SPL, 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. 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and JLab Go Air's case has a full charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 9 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery.
It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Go Air by 0.8 hours
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. The JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Powerbeats Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones. The Powerbeats Pro microphones are 2,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
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 recognize.
With the JLab Go Air, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. The Powerbeats Pro 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.
JLab Go Air support voice prompts. Automatically receive information through audio messages, like if there is a problem with the connection.
