Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that 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 number 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, Urbanista Copenhagen 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 because lighter devices are easier to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires 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 difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Urbanista Copenhagen also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the two earbuds together.
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
Urbanista Copenhagen's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during 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 Urbanista Copenhagen also have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 4mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level 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.
Urbanista Copenhagen's sound pressure level measurement is 115dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds 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.
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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 3 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 has a charge of 15 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Urbanista Copenhagen's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 9 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 unused for extended periods.
Urbanista Copenhagen takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
JLab Go Air's battery power is 43mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
The JLab Go Air have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your device and case.
Urbanista Copenhagen too have a battery level indicator, these enable you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The JLab Go Air have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Urbanista Copenhagen has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of JLab Go Air
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JLab Go Air have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air
Urbanista Copenhagen support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Urbanista Copenhagen will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
While the Urbanista Copenhagen microphones are 4,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size 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 sound that the microphone can pick up.
When misplaced in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, the Urbanista Copenhagen support the find earbuds feature.
Urbanista Copenhagen support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge the earbuds.

less than that of JLab Go Air by 1 Years
.
JLab Go Air support voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection.
The Urbanista Copenhagen too support voice prompts meaning the earbuds will notify you if the battery is running low, and you need to recharge the device.
Urbanista Copenhagen come with their own special case. Carrying earbuds without a case, or placing them in your pockets without a casing can easily damage them.
