IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids 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 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, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 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
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a weight of 10.8g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2, at 12.5g
are heavier than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds with a difference of 1.7g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, Jabra Evolve2 Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the two earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have sweat resistance
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 driver unit is 9.3mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 3.3mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is 10 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 requires fewer chargings. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's battery life is
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Jabra Evolve2 Buds's case has a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 3 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery.
It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Jabra Evolve2 Buds

less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 10meters
Jabra Evolve2 Buds support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 support AAC as well.
