IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak
The JBL Endurance Peak have a weight of 30g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak with a difference -18g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak 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.

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
JBL Endurance Peak 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 Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Endurance Peak have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The JBL Endurance Peak and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.

JBL Endurance Peak 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 sound made by the earbuds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 0.6mm
, a common assumption 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak make sound with a juicier bass than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's measurement is 92dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Endurance Peak's battery life is 4 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Endurance Peak's case has a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
