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 refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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 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 Jabra Evolve2 Buds, Anker 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,

Both Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Anker 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 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
