IP ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2'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.

The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC'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, Devialet Gemini 2's measurement is 120dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's sound pressure level measurement is 110dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
