Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's rating for solids indicates 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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher dust resistance than JLab Go Air
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than JLab Go Air
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a weight of 9.4g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
JLab Go Air, at 10g are heavier than the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by of 0.6g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables.
