IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's rating is read as, the first value 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, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Jabra Evolve2 Buds
The 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.

Both JBL Live Pro 2 and Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal treble Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
