Jlab Go Air Vs. Sony Wf C500 Review

IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values 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 for solids indicates 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, 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 The JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

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.

Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices produce 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.
