Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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. In comparison to the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 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 JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
are lighter than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by -2.4g

JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat
JBL Live Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Live Pro 2 and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX and JBL Live Pro 2 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1.8mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2'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. 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 Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2 hours
. Each 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 manufacturer, and the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case has a charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Live Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 10 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
