Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, 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.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
JBL Tour Pro 2 also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.
1More Aero are resistant to sweat
JBL Tour Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, what this means is that 1More Aero's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Aero have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The 1More Aero sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both JBL Tour Pro 2, and 1More Aero have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The 1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The 1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, 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 1More Aero's case has a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Tour Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of 1More Aero by 9 hours
The 1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your earbuds and case.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
1More Aero have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.

JBL Tour Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More Aero have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Tour Pro 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
1More Aero support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work well with your iPad. 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.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
1More Aero have 6 microphones.
While the JBL Tour Pro 2 microphones are 6,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds.
1More Aero use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 too use a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy areas.
The 1More Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
