IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating is read as, the first value 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..
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, Jabra Elite 5 have a rating of IP55 meaning that
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher dust resistance than Jabra Elite 5
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite 5 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Jabra Elite 5, at 10g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 with a difference -15g
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 don't have cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Jabra Elite 5 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have sweat resistance
Jabra Elite 5's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Elite 5 and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Elite 5 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both Jabra Elite 5, and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

Jabra Elite 5 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 4mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver 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 generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 5's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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.
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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Jabra Elite 5's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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.

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 the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 will work fine with your iPad.
