Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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, Skullcandy Indy Fuel 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,
JBL Endurance Peak 2 has a higher liquid rating than Skullcandy Indy Fuel
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a weight of 26g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel, at 57g
weigh more than the JBL Endurance Peak 2 by of 31g
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 matter since they have no cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Skullcandy Indy Fuel also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the two earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel too have wingtips, by resting against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities. If applied as directed, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have sweat resistance
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Skullcandy Indy Fuel are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 2's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel also have stereo speakers
JBL Endurance Peak 2 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Skullcandy Indy Fuel, and JBL Endurance Peak 2 have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 driver unit is 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 device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 4mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate 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 inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, 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.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get 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 for a single charge. 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.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 3 hours
. Every 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.
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 more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's charging case has a battery life of 27 hours,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 3 hours

Skullcandy Indy Fuel takes 0.3 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 1.7 hours
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through 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.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its 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 JBL Endurance Peak 2 have 2 microphones.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can recognize.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge the earbuds.
