Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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. Compared 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
Google Pixel Buds Pro have a weight of 12.4g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g weigh less than the Google Pixel Buds Pro by -1.6g For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Google Pixel Buds Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit. Google Pixel Buds Pro have sweat resistance Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by 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
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal treble The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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.
The 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.
