Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. 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).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating is read as, the first number of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and of liquids 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..
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, Beats Studio Buds have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Beats Studio Buds has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 3
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 by -19.9g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 come with wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 are resistant to sweat
Beats Studio Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 3's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Studio Buds also have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise while 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 ANC to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 1.8mm
, a common assumption 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, 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.
Beats Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery life is 10 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Beats Studio Buds's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and the JBL Endurance Peak 3's case is said to have a full charge of 40 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.

equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Beats Studio Buds 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.
