Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the JBL Live Pro 2's rating for solids indicates 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 Pro 2, 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,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Energy Sistem Sport 5
The JBL Live Pro 2 have a weight of 9.6g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Energy Sistem Sport 5, at 18g
weigh more than the JBL Live Pro 2 by of 8.4g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Live Pro 2 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Energy Sistem Sport 5 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Live Pro 2 are resistant to sweat
Energy Sistem Sport 5's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
JBL Live Pro 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Live Pro 2's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Live Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Live Pro 2 sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JBL Live Pro 2 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces 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 Pro 2 by 3mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to 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
The JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
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 Pro 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
The JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is 10 hours, a device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, 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 Pro 2 by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Live Pro 2's case is said to have a charge of 30 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of JBL Live Pro 2 by 10 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Live Pro 2's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully 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 Pro 2 by 0.5 hours
JBL Live Pro 2's battery capacity is 65mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery power is 40mAh.
less than that of JBL Live Pro 2 by 25mAh

Energy Sistem Sport 5 microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Live Pro 2 by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
JBL Live Pro 2 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The JBL Live Pro 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/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 voice that the earbud microphone can pick up.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 microphone sensitivity is measured at -42dBV/Pa. Microphone sensitivity is a measurement of a microphone's efficiency on how well it converts acoustical energy to electrical energy.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest mic frequency is 10000Hz, high frequencies are best for recording treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is known as its upper limiting frequency.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest mic frequency is 100Hz, low frequencies are better for picking up bass. The lowest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its lower limiting frequency.
The JBL Live Pro 2 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
