Jlab Go Air Vs. Sony Wf C500 Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection 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. 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 best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

Sony WF C500, at 10.8g weigh more than the JLab Go Air by of 0.8g For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking 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 difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds . Sony WF C500 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. JLab Go Air are resistant to sweat Sony WF C500's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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.

The Sony WF C500 also have stereo speakers The JLab Go Air stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both Sony WF C500, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction this means that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. JLab Go Air have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.

The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the device. Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, which means 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 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 a particular audio device produces 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 implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble The sound pressure level, 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. 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 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 not 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 the 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. Sony WF C500's charging case has a battery life of 10 hours, less 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 recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.

Sony WF C500 takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery, more than that of JLab Go Air by 1 hours JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.

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. Sony WF C500 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 to connect 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 background sounds. 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 calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up. With the JLab Go Air, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device.

The Sony WF C500 also have a control panel on them.
