Jlab Go Air Vs. Sony Wf C500 Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Scoring IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating for solids indicates 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. In comparison 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 consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Sony WF C500, at 10.8g weigh more than the JLab Go Air with a difference of 0.8g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds . Sony WF C500 also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together. JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat Sony WF C500's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc 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.

The Sony WF C500 also have stereo speakers JLab Go Air stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out . Both Sony WF C500, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The 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 the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds.

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 , a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.

Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices make sound with equal bass The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can produce 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is usually 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 . Every 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 the JLab Go Air's case is said to have a full charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.

Sony WF C500's charging case has a battery life of 10 hours, less 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 highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. Sony WF C500 takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery, more than that of JLab Go Air by 1 hours The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery.

Its lights show the charging status of your device and case.

JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.

Sony WF C500 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. 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.

While 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. JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The vastness 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. The JLab Go Air, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the device. Sony WF C500 too 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.
