IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value 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 the second value 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, Powerbeats 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,
Powerbeats Pro has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak
The JBL Endurance Peak have a weight of 30g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak with a difference -9.7g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

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.
JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Powerbeats Pro can produce a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak
The JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
The JBL Endurance Peak's battery life is 4 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
