IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP57, the Jabra Elite Active 75t's rating is read as, the first number 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.
Compared to the Jabra Elite Active 75t, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.

Jabra Elite Active 75t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
