Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection 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 value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.

JBL Endurance Peak have sweat resistance
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too are dustproof and water-resistant, thus preventing water and dust from entering the interior of the devices keeping the interior components safe
The 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 for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
JBL Endurance Peak have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Endurance Peak have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 3.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak produce a juicier bass than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
