Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes 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, JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2, at 26g
weigh more than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by of 14g

JBL Endurance Peak 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Endurance Peak 2 and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 0.8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery life is
less than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, 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.
This is given by the vendor, and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case has a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 4 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 0.5 hours
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery capacity is 70mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery power is 60mAh.
less than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 10mAh
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just place down on a supported charging pad.
