Has Passive Noise Reduction
Sony WF C500
✓
JLab Go Air ✓
The JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Sony WF C500, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF C500
5.8mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
The JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of 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
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF C500
20Hz
JLab Go Air 20Hz
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF C500
20000Hz
JLab Go Air 20000Hz
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF C500
✗
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony WF C500
✓
JLab Go Air ✓
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
Sony WF C500 too have it, devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. It is also known that they produce more bass and clearer high notes.
