Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents 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 is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a higher liquid rating than JBL Live Pro 2
JBL Live Pro 2 have a weight of 9.6g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g are heavier than the JBL Live Pro 2 with a difference of 3g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Live Pro 2 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Live Pro 2 are resistant to sweat Samsung Galaxy Buds 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 JBL Live Pro 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and JBL Live Pro 2 have stereo speakers ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.
Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time. The JBL Live Pro 2 sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down background noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.

JBL Live Pro 2 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter, making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get , 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble SPL, is the pressure level 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. JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
