IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents 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 number 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.
In comparison 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 more comfortable to carry.
Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak with a difference -9.7g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
The JBL Endurance Peak come with wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Powerbeats Pro too have wingtips, by resting against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to combat vigorous movement, they come in handy for sports and other physical activities. When applied rightly, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
JBL Endurance Peak have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Powerbeats Pro too are dustproof and water-resistant, thus preventing water and dust from entering the interior of the devices and damaging the interior components
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little 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, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Powerbeats Pro and JBL Endurance Peak have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Endurance Peak have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Powerbeats Pro sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
The JBL Endurance Peak have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Powerbeats Pro can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JBL Endurance Peak's case has a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 1.3 hours
JBL Endurance Peak's battery capacity is 75mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.

Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The JBL Endurance Peak have Bluetooth version of 4.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
newer than that of JBL Endurance Peak
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Powerbeats Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak
Powerbeats Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Powerbeats Pro will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JBL Endurance Peak have 1 microphones.
The Powerbeats Pro microphones are 2,
more than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 1
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
The Powerbeats Pro support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds.
With the JBL Endurance Peak, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device.
