IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number 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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak

Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted 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. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
JBL Endurance Peak have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
JBL Endurance Peak have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
The JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak can make sound with a juicier bass than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
