IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against solids 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 of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison 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
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX with a difference -1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the two earbuds .
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have sweat resistance
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc

ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds. 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
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is barely 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 the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case is said to have a charge of 20 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods. Jabra Evolve2 Buds takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 0.5 hours
