IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
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.
Compared to the JLab Go Air, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air by of 2.6g
True wireless devices 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 a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the two earbuds .
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
The earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also have stereo speakers
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that you are likely to lose the functionality of your device. Devices that have a higher depth rating are better for diving.
ANC uses more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The JLab Go Air stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment noise while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, 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.
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 recharging the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 5 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Go Air by 0.5 hours
JLab Go Air's battery capacity is 43mAh, battery power, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery power is 61mAh.
more than that of JLab Go Air by 18mAh
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you just put down on a supported charging pad.
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your device and case.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
