Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak
The JBL Endurance Peak have a weight of 30g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.
JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak with a difference -20.4g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
The JBL Endurance Peak come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JBL Endurance Peak have sweat resistance
JBL Live Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc

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, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Live Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Endurance Peak have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The JBL Endurance Peak and JBL Live Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 1mm
, many people have a misconception 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Live Pro 2
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Live Pro 2
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Live Pro 2's measurement is 93dB/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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 6 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
