IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance 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 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..
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Tour Pro 2 also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 are resistant to sweat
JBL Tour Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate 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 an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with 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 audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices 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.
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not 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 full charge of 40 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Tour Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 10 hours

JBL Tour Pro 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Tour 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 used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 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.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have 4 microphones.
While the JBL Tour Pro 2 microphones are 6,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
