Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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.
Compared to the Jabra Evolve2 Buds, Mpow Flame S have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,

Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Jabra Evolve2 Buds's case is said to have a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
