Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating for solids indicates 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, Powerbeats Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher liquid rating than Powerbeats Pro
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 by -4.7g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Powerbeats Pro too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities. If used rightly, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The Powerbeats Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
JBL Endurance Peak 3 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device.
Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Powerbeats Pro produce a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
SPL, 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Endurance Peak 3's case is said to have a charge of 40 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 16 hours
It requires 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 long periods.
Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 1.3 hours
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your earbuds and case.

JBL Endurance Peak 3 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Powerbeats Pro 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 can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 will work fine with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Powerbeats Pro 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.
The Powerbeats Pro microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
