IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating is read as, the first value of 4 denotes 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Go Air has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh more than the JLab Go Air by of 1g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, devices with stereo 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 2 Pro and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that you are likely to lose the functionality of your device. Devices that can withstand more water pressure are better for diving.
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 2mm
, 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 produce better quality sound.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can 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 makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
JLab Go Air's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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 a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JLab Go Air's case is said to have a full charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 3 hours
It takes 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 when they have been in storage for extended periods.
JLab Go Air's battery power is 43mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery power is 61mAh.
more than that of JLab Go Air by 18mAh
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you just put down on a compatible charging pad.
The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and charging case.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro use USB TYPE-C, a 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 movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
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 calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
