Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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 of liquids 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 Jabra Evolve2 Buds, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a weight of 10.8g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g weigh more than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds with a difference of 1.2g For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Jabra Evolve2 Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds . Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have sweat resistance Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Jabra Evolve2 Buds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 4.6mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
