IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison to the Beats Fit Pro, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Beats Fit Pro

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel 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.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Fit Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. JBL Live Pro 2 too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.
Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device. JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Fit Pro by 1.5mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible 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 can produce equal bass
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is 7 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Beats Fit Pro by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not 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 Beats Fit Pro's case has a charge of 21 hours.
