Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP55, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
JLab Go Air has a lower dust resistance than OnePlus Buds Pro 2
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Go Air has a lower liquid rating than OnePlus Buds Pro 2
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a weight of 9.8g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g
weigh more than the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by of 0.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are resistant to sweat
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JLab Go Air and OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down background noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the device.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 3mm
, a common assumption 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 produce better quality sound.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, 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 on its way through.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can make sound with a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, OnePlus Buds Pro 2's measurement is 97dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JLab Go Air's sound pressure level measurement is 103dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The 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, using high magnetic flux.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's battery life is 9 hours, a device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
less than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 OnePlus Buds Pro 2's case is said to have a full charge of 30 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JLab Go Air's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours,
less than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 15 hours
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the OnePlus Buds Pro 2's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JLab Go Air takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 0.5 hours
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's battery power is 60mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
JLab Go Air's battery power is 43mAh.
less than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 17mAh
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply put down on a supported charging pad.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case.

JLab Go Air have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a latency of 54ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.

The JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
less than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 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 measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can recognize.
JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. Microphone sensitivity is a measurement of a microphone's efficiency as a transducer.
