Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank 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 resistance 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 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,

Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the device. JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 5mm
, many people have a misconception 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces 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 make sound with equal bass
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
