Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP54, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's rating is read as, the first number 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 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a weight of 10.8g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
are heavier than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds with a difference of 1.8g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Jabra Evolve2 Buds are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds .

Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and Jabra Evolve2 Buds have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
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 can generate 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 inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro'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 indicates how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Jabra Evolve2 Buds's case has a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
