Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire
and that of liquids is that,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds with a difference -131.75g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds . JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Raycon Fitness Earbuds are resistant to sweat JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc The Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 imply that they produce better quality sound. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that Raycon Fitness Earbuds make sound with a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
