IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. 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 IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
The Beats Fit Pro have a weight of 11.2g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tour Pro 2 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.

The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
JBL Tour Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The JBL Tour Pro 2 and Beats Fit Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tour Pro 2 by 0.5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Beats Fit Pro have neodymium magnets, when 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 sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is 10 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.
