IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection 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 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, 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 prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
weigh more than the JLab Go Air by of 2.6g
True wireless devices have no wires 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 difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
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.
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 Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the 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 have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JLab Go Air stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which implies 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.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by 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
, 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.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro'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 tells how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level 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'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.
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 playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and JLab Go Air's case is said to have a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JLab Go Air by 0.5 hours
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just place down on a compatible charging pad.
JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging state of your earbuds and case.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers 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.
The JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the desired sound.
JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent 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 recognize.
While the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro microphone sensitivity is measured at -26dBV/Pa. Microphone sensitivity is a measurement of a microphone's efficiency as a transducer.
