Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
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 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, 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,

both devices produce equal bass
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
