IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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..
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have a rating of IP66 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,

Both JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC and JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .

JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2mm
, 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.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.

both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level 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.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's sound pressure level measurement is 110dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
