Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating is read as, the first number of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and the second value 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..
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a rating of IP57 meaning that
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher dust resistance than Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
and that of liquids is that,

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 0.8mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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.
