IP ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared 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,

The JBL Live Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more 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 counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Beats Fit Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates 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
, a common assumption 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes 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 produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, 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. How loud something is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective 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 for a single charge.
