Ingress Protection (Ip) Rating

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 IP54

JBL Endurance Peak IPX7

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 of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance 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 of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.

Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✓

JBL Endurance Peak ✓

ANC uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.

JBL Endurance Peak have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The JBL Endurance Peak and Bowers & Wilkins PI7 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
