Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP54, the Huawei FreeBuds 5's rating for solids indicates 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 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 Huawei FreeBuds 5, JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,

Huawei FreeBuds 5 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 1mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Huawei FreeBuds 5's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak 2
Huawei FreeBuds 5's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak 2
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Huawei FreeBuds 5's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery life is
more than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 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 have shorter listening time.
