Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating 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 is read as, the first value of X denotes 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, Powerbeats Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak 2 has a higher liquid rating than Powerbeats Pro
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a weight of 26g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 2 by -5.7g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 2 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Powerbeats Pro too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities. When used correctly, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The Powerbeats Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Powerbeats Pro can produce a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak 2
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
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 multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 2
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 1.3 hours
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case.
Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Powerbeats Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 2
JBL Endurance Peak 2 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 2 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Powerbeats Pro support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have 2 microphones.
While the Powerbeats Pro microphones are 2,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The magnitude of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can recognize.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds.
Also the Powerbeats Pro support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, only that the battery is filling up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.
