IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and the second number of 8 means that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..

no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher liquid rating than Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 3's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 0.6mm
, as many tend to believe 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak 3
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 3's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
