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 of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX'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. Compared to the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a lower liquid rating than Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by -1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have sweat resistance
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, what this means is that Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device. Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 3.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
