IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak 2's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak 2, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 2
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a weight of 26g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 2 with a difference -16.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 2 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds .
JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the two earbuds .

Both JBL Live Pro 2 and JBL Endurance Peak 2 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 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 outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both JBL Live Pro 2, and JBL Endurance Peak 2 have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 1mm
, many people have a misconception 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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 the JBL Endurance Peak 2's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Live Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 6 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Live Pro 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 2
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery power is 65mAh.
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 5mAh
JBL Live Pro 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a supported charging pad.
