JLab JBuds Air Sport vs TONEKING T88K

The reviewers at Head-fi have featured the TONEKING T88K in their TONEKING T88K roundup. However, it fell short of making it to the top of their list.

Moving on to the JLab JBuds Air Sport: it was unable to reach the very top of any roundups from sources that conduct reliable and unbiased testing. Nonetheless, it still managed to impress reviewers from a number of such sites, like Technically Well, SoundGuys, Headphone Review, PCmag, and iMore, enough for them to include them on those lists.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these In-Ear Monitors, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the TONEKING T88K got its highest, 10, rating from Head-fi, while the JLab JBuds Air Sport earned its best, 9.1, score from techaeris.com.

Lastly, in order to better compare them to the rest of their competition, we averaged out their review scores. The JLab JBuds Air Sport managed to get 8.1 out of 10 - considerably better than the 7.7 review average of In-Ear Monitors in general - whereas the TONEKING T88K earned 10.0 points.

It should be said that doing a direct TONEKING T88K vs. JLab JBuds Air Sport comparison might not be entirely fair due to the difference in their prices - some sources don't put much weight on value for money and thus tend to give better review scores to more expensive products.
