Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus'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 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. Compared to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro

A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device. Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 3mm
, a common assumption 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 produce better quality sound.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus produce a juicier bass than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a charge of 12.5 hours.
