Jlab Go Air Vs. Sony Wf C500 Review

IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection 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. Compared to the JLab Go Air, Sony WF C500 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 prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.

The Sony WF C500, at 10.8g are heavier than the JLab Go Air by of 0.8g 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 a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds . Sony WF C500 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds . JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat Sony WF C500's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sony WF C500 and JLab Go Air have stereo speakers The JLab Go Air sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds well as preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The JLab Go Air have a unit size of 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 earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the device.

Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 2.2mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.

Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices make sound with equal bass JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can generate equal treble SPL, 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.

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 have to charge the device less often. Sony WF C500's battery life is more than that of JLab Go Air by 5 hours . Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.

The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case 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 many times before having to recharge the case itself.

Sony WF C500 have a maximum range of 9meters, less than that of JLab Go Air by 1meters The JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.

The Sony WF C500 microphones are 2, equal to that of the JLab Go Air . More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise. The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount 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 pick up. With the JLab Go Air, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds. The Sony WF C500 also have a control panel on them.
