IP ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX5, the JBL LIVE 300's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the JBL LIVE 300, Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Energy Sistem Sport 5 has a lower liquid rating than JBL LIVE 300
JBL LIVE 300 have a weight of 65.7g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5, at 18g
are lighter than the JBL LIVE 300 with a difference -47.7g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL LIVE 300 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 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.
JBL LIVE 300 have sweat resistance
Energy Sistem Sport 5's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL LIVE 300 have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 also have an earbud foam, which implies that by design they rest on the outer concha ridge of your ear, located in the center of your outer ear.
JBL LIVE 300 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Energy Sistem Sport 5 and JBL LIVE 300 have stereo speakers
The JBL LIVE 300 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both Energy Sistem Sport 5, and JBL LIVE 300 have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The JBL LIVE 300 have a unit size of 5.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 driver unit is 14mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL LIVE 300 by 8.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL LIVE 300's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
JBL LIVE 300's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL LIVE 300's measurement is 95dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
The JBL LIVE 300's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery life is
less than that of JBL LIVE 300 by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JBL LIVE 300's case has a charge of 14 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of JBL LIVE 300 by 6 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL LIVE 300's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL LIVE 300 by 0.5 hours
JBL LIVE 300's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery power is 40mAh.
less than that of JBL LIVE 300 by 20mAh
JBL LIVE 300 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
JBL LIVE 300 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
JBL LIVE 300 have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the JBL LIVE 300
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL LIVE 300
JBL LIVE 300 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL LIVE 300 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.

The Energy Sistem Sport 5 microphones are 2,
equal to that of the JBL LIVE 300
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa. The magnitude of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can recognize.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest mic frequency is 10000Hz, high frequencies are best for picking up treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its upper limiting frequency.
