IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The JBL Wave Beam have a weight of 8.8g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this case since they have no cables.

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW.

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JBL Wave Beam's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
