Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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 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..
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 with a difference -15.4g
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 wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables 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
JBL Live Pro 2'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, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Live Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, 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 adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Live Pro 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL Live Pro 2, and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 1mm
, 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.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2'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 measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can 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 Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered 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.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Endurance Peak 3's case has a charge of 40 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Live Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 10 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
JBL Live Pro 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Live Pro 2, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply place down on a supported charging pad.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging state of your device and case.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Live Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Live Pro 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
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 provides 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 fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

While the JBL Live Pro 2 microphones are 6,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
JBL Live Pro 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The magnitude 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.
