Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust 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 (sweat).
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.
Compared 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,

JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the two earbuds .
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Raycon Fitness Earbuds's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then 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 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

making both JLab Go Air, and Raycon Fitness Earbuds similar in how loud their sound can get
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an 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 means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can 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 produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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.

JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the desired sound.
The 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 calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing them
