IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak 2's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak 2, OnePlus Buds Z2 have a rating of IP55 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,
OnePlus Buds Z2 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 2
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a weight of 26g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
OnePlus Buds Z2, at 9g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 2 by -17g

Both OnePlus Buds Z2 and JBL Endurance Peak 2 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 driver unit is 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 corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
OnePlus Buds Z2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
OnePlus Buds Z2'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 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, 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.
The 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
OnePlus Buds Z2's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Endurance Peak 2's case is said to have a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
OnePlus Buds Z2's charging case has a battery life of 31 hours,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 7 hours
