IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison 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,
JBL Endurance Peak has a higher liquid rating than Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak by -18g
