IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP57, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes 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 of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Jabra Elite 7 Pro, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than JBL Live Pro 2
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a weight of 10.8g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
are lighter than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro with a difference -1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Jabra Elite 7 Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have sweat resistance
JBL Live Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc

Both JBL Live Pro 2 and Jabra Elite 7 Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. The JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro and JBL Live Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.

The Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 5mm
, a common assumption 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.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is 9 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.

A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Live Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 6 hours

JBL Live Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JBL Live Pro 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have 8 microphones.
The JBL Live Pro 2 microphones are 6,
less than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds. Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. The JBL Live Pro 2 too have a noise-canceling microphone.
Especially useful in noisy environments. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are best for recording treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is known as its upper limiting frequency.
