IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids

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 after generates a mirror signal to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have ANC enabling 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 noise. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro and Jabra Evolve2 Buds work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds. Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 5mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is 11 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1 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. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Google Pixel Buds Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1 hours
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1 hours
