Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance 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, Sony WF 1000XM4 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids

The 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. Sony WF 1000XM4'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 measures if and how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Sony WF 1000XM4 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
